Stormfishes love to dwell within the treacherous storms. You can tell that you are caught in one by the ringing of the bell of the ship. Not only that, you can also know that you are caught in one by a compass that is spinning out of control.

Unlike some of the other fish, Stormfish are not much divided by rarity. Their regional variants are more varied. Naturally, Ancient ones are found within The Ancient Isles, Shore ones are found along The Shores of Plenty, and the Wild ones live in The Wilds. As for the rare variant, which is Shadow Stromfish, they are most likely to surface at The Glorious Seadog Tavern and Uncharted Island (N-13). The same areas are where you are also able to find the nighttime variant of the species, which is Twilight Stormfish. These two, as well as Splashtails, are the only ones that show up at this location. From the statement, it can be concluded that it will be guaranteed to get a rare when fishing during the day as it will be easy to differentiate a silhouette of Splashtail. If you see the silhouette that is long and flat, do not wait and just abort mission right away and recast.

In addition to Ancientscale and Stormfish, Splashtails, Islehoppers and Pondies are also attracted to leeches, even though bait is not needed to catch them. If you are interested in catching Splashtails by using leeches, you can go to the location to find Stormfish. If you want to get Islehoppers, go to the shorelines of large islands. As if catching Pondies, you can do it in ponds and lakes.
