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.

Use the Standard setup

Bluegill is listed for the Fishing Rod and Standard Lure on Desert Island. It shares this tier with Angelfish, Needlefish and several lower-base ordinary catches.

Carrot bait belongs to the Pufferfish story encounter, not to the Bluegill pairing. Complete a Bluegill collection check through the ordinary lure pool.

Compare like-for-like base values

Bluegill and Angelfish are both listed at 62 coins before sale modifiers. Needlefish is 60, only 2 coins lower, but also has a recorded quest-trade use.

That trade use can matter more than the small price difference. Keep quest decisions separate from the raw-value comparison when deciding what to sell on the Desert route.
