Angelfish: location, bait and collection notes

Angelfish uses Standard Lure on Desert Island and has a recorded 62-coin base. Compare its sale role with Bluegill and the Tourist’s separate quest-trade choices.

Entity facts retain the guide’s Patch 1.0.10 snapshot (2026-08-28); the newly written notes are not a current-build playtest. Fixed values are raw bases, not guaranteed sale offers. Patch 1.1.3 adds bait display after a first kill in Fishipedia; use your current game to check a returning catch.

Switch to the Desert lure tier

Use the Fishing Rod with Standard Lure for the recorded Angelfish setup on Desert Island. Beginner Lure is the earlier Forest tier, not the pairing listed for this species.

Bluegill shares both the Standard Lure tier and the 62-coin base. The same setup can therefore help with two separately named collection gaps.

Separate sale catches from the Tourist trade

Angelfish’s 62-coin base is 2 above Needlefish and 9 above Yellow Boxfish. These numbers describe raw value, not whether the Tourist accepts a species for his objective.

The reviewed quest notes identify Needlefish and Seahorse as trade choices. Do not infer that Angelfish qualifies just because it belongs to the same Desert fishing pool.
