Fishing question

Although this might not be of any interest to most I was going to start the achievements for fishing so I can obtain the dye's...Although, I've a question;
  • Do I need special bait to collect the rare fish or can I catch them by simply using the normal bait from Merchants?

The reason I'm asking is that I've been trying to obtain the one on Stros M'kai for several hours now and have had no luck.

    Yes, there are rules for fishing. Here's a great site to answer all your fishing questions. http://www.esofishing.com/

    Quick answer to your main question: Never buy the bait from merchants.

    There are no real 'rules" for fishing.You can use any bait anywhere you choose.Thing is if you want to catch fish and not get used bait,you need to know which bait to use where.
    For oceans,it is Worms,and chub.You'll get Dhufish,Longfin,minnows and wet gunny sacks.(which have items hidden in them)
    Here's a good place to check to see which bait is best for which places::

    It says it is about farming perfect roa,but it tells you about all the needs you'll have.
    Good luck with the fishing achievements! I enjoy getting the fishing ones. :)
