Name Twelve ACCF Town Central Last Active 7/29 11:40pm I've found 2 coelacanths in the last fifteen minutes with this. They're my first two coelacanths, ever. (I don't fish much.)



You'll need precipitation and the island for this. Go to the island, and if it is raining, start catching fish in one acre. Remember what the sea bass shadow looks like? Because there's a limited space that you can catch fish on the island in, they tend to spawn there more often. So what you do is you simply run back and forth between the spawning area and the other acre, and if it is NOT a sea bass shadow, catch it. Easy as pie.



Edit: right after I posted this, I went up to 3! Remember, they only go for the first bite!



Edit 2: 4! I'm going to post proof of it real quick. The first one I put in my house, so it's not in my inventory. But the three you see I have caught in this run. (I haven't got rid of the sea bass yet.)

If you bring a snowball down to the edge of the sand, place an item in front of it, move toward the water, then back toward the item and pick it up, you can nudge the snowball toward you while you're elevated picking up the item. If it's done correctly it will push you out of bounds, and you can walk around the ocean, allowing you to reach the island. Kapp'n will ferry you back if you talk to him.

1. You will need a fishing rod, consistent access to the GBA Island (meaning a GBA and cable) and it has to be raining on the Island. The weather on the mainland is not always the weather on your island.



2.



3. Keep an eye on the shadow size of the sea bass, it's always the same. If it doesn't look like the sea bass, catch it.



When I tested this, I caught 4 coelacanths in 45 minutes. Try it. Okay, so I can't edit the original post, so I'll just do this here, then.1. You will need a fishing rod, consistent access to the GBA Island (meaning a GBA and cable) and it has to be raining on the Island. The weather on the mainland is not always the weather on your island.2. This is what my island looks like. I follow the blue arrow because fish tend to spawn more in the coastline right there. What you need to do for your island is basically the same: find where the fish tend to spawn (hopefully the same area) and go back and forth between the acres to get as many fish to spawn as they can.3.

Last Active 4/8/2017 12:12am I tried this tonight. I fished for about 2 hours. I found plenty, but I only caught 1 due to my horrible fishing skills. I donated it to the museum. I hope I can catch more the next time I see it raining on the island. Signature--------------

During the spring and summer, the odds are about 60% that if it's raining in your town it'll be raining on your island. Fall and winter make rain nearly impossible, but snow substitutes as rain in the winter. Unfortunately I don't have any data for fall and winter yet.

Name Ethan Ethan ACGC Town N.Y. Last Active 9/15 1:52pm Wouldn't it be better to just get some stats on how often it rains on the island instead? I don't think its weather is in any way related to the weather back home. Signature--------------

Name Twelve ACCF Town Central Last Active 7/29 11:40pm Getting stats on the weather is basically useless, because it's completely up to RNG, which is weighted by season. So I'd have to go through each season and skip through each day, sampling every day to see when it rains. Signature--------------
