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.
Fish before the Carrot stage
The recorded Needlefish pairing is Fishing Rod plus Standard Lure on Desert Island. Needlefish is a candidate for the Tourist trade; the Carrot received from that objective is a later bait, not what you attach to catch Needlefish.
Keep this order clear if the story appears stuck: obtain an accepted fish, complete the Tourist exchange, then use the resulting bait for the Pufferfish encounter.
Compare the two recorded trade choices
Needlefish has a 60-coin base and Seahorse a 100-coin base in the reviewed table. Both are listed as Tourist trade choices.
If you possess both, the 40-coin base difference is worth considering before a hand-in, but your current quest prompt determines what is accepted. Do not sell the only suitable fish while the Carrot objective remains unfinished.
