How to Catch
Trevally has strict requirements that all need to line up:
Season: Autumn only.
Weather: Rainy only. Sunny autumn days will not produce Trevally.
Time: 08:00 to 16:00. This is a relatively short 8-hour window, the tightest of any ocean fish at this price range.
Bait: Bug Bait only. Craft it at the Chopper III using caught bugs.
Head to any ocean fishing spot when it rains in Autumn. The time window is tight (only 8 hours), so arrive at the coast by 08:00 to make the most of the session. Toss Bug Bait into the water to chum, then cast toward visible fish shadows.
Top Non-King Ocean Fish by Value
Trevally leads all regular ocean fish in sell price. Here is how the top ocean catches compare:
Fish | Price | Season | Weather | Bait |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Trevally | 234g | Autumn | Rainy | Bug Bait |
218g | Winter | Snowy | Veggie Bait | |
210g | Winter | Sunny | Bug Bait | |
176g | Spring | Rainy | Veggie Bait | |
176g | Summer | Rainy | Veggie Bait |
Autumn Rainy Fishing Strategy
Rainy autumn days are valuable for ocean fishing because Trevally and Mackerel (135g) both require this exact condition. Mackerel uses Veggie Bait and has a 12:00 to 20:00 window, so the two species overlap between 12:00 and 16:00. Bring Bug Bait and Veggie Bait to maximize your catch during that overlap.

Tips
At 468g from the Merchant Ship, Trevally is the most profitable regular ocean fish to sell. Save them for the Ship's Monday refresh day.
The 8-hour time window (08:00 to 16:00) is short compared to other ocean fish. Arrive early and fish steadily; do not waste time on other activities when the conditions are right.
Bug Bait requires the Chopper III, a later-game crafting station. Stockpile caught bugs from your bug net during Summer so you have plenty of Bug Bait ready for Autumn.
Trevally has no oxygen requirement, so it can be freely added to any Fish Pond for breeding without consuming capacity.
Rainy days increase rare fish spawn rates across all zones. On a rainy autumn day, consider splitting your time between ocean fishing for Trevally and river fishing for Upside-Down Catfish (175g), which shares the same conditions.
