3434 The 10:00 to 02:00 time window gives you 16 hours, including nighttime. This is one of the longest catch windows for a weather-restricted fish, so you have plenty of time once it starts raining.Meat Bait is the easiest bait to craft (Chopper I, any fish). You probably have a stockpile already from processing common catches.At 350g from the Merchant Ship, Upside-Down Catfish is one of the best river fish for pure profit. Save a stack for the Ship's Monday refresh.Combine an Upside-Down Catfish river session with an Arowana hunt (101g, Autumn/Rainy), since both share the same season and weather. Arowana uses Veggie Bait, so bring both bait types.No oxygen cost means you can add Upside-Down Catfish to your Fish Pond without any capacity penalty.
