I agree this one is more annoying than the level 90 (Levelmete). Could probaby catch enough of the 90 fish to complete that leve 4-5 times in the time it takes to do this once.

But what worked for me (all ilvl 620 gear purchased with Scrips, 3040 Gather, 2514 Percep)

Patience 1
Precision Hookset on single ! catches only (can use Powerful Hookset on !!s if you want the XP and an Angler's Art for Thaliak's Favor uses, otherwise faster to use Reset on !!s)
Mooch if it pops up
Hope you don't lose the Mooch (happened twice I think out of 5 mooches)
Total time for 3 of these was somewhere between 10 and 15 minutes...I think.

I think higher Perception would lead to more moochable catches. A lure/bait specific for the frog would be great, but the Golden Stonefly Nymph also seems to catch Kozama'uka Skippers, and the !! Bopo'u Sleepers so...*shrug*

But yeah, the Patience method works for these. Just takes...patience ;)

This leve is horrendous. If you get it, skip it. I’m over an hour in and only have 2/3.

Another way is to use the new ability to hold the poison frog as bait. As I did not have the option doing this once to Mooch II. Then use your triple hook on the bite.

Best place I found, the two ponds at 14.3x, 12.4y.

Popper Lure, bought with Scrips or Golden Stonefly Nymph for Gil.

Poison Dyefrog has a very fast catch rate… close to 50% and the Pleated Matamata can be mooched there as well.

Just Somedude Seraph [Dynamis]

Kozama'uka 10.2, 15.4

Confirming:
Versatile Lure --> catch Poison Dyefrog --> Mooch II --> Triple Hook to get them all in one go!

Cherry Flos Raiden [Light]

Confirming Versatile Lure + CAST + poison dyefrog + MOOCH II = Pleated Matamata

BUT

Keep in mind its MOOCH II , so you need to 180 Seconds between casts .. i recommend you use TRIPLE HOOK ( 700 GP) , so that from 1 Poison DyeFrog you get 3 Pleated Matamata.

Confirming --- Versatile Lure, mooched from poison dyefrog - when I used the Golden Stonefly nymph and tried to mooch with the frog - it never worked. The versatile lure worked with the mooching 3 out of 4 times (the line snapped on the 4th try). Fish Eyes also made it go a lot faster because I would get a frog every time I used it.
