I add a reply, because my experience was again different from all the ones below. It went fast and easy.

Location: Same than others, around X27 / Y18.
Bait: Versatile Lure.
Time: I was there around 3:30 pm and don't believe time matters.
Method: I just cast and hook standard.
A'sA: 0! It went so fast I had no time to catch any large fishes.

I got 1 icepick on 2nd cast, used Identical Cast to secure an immediate 2nd one, and 3 fishes later, I got another icepick. I got 3 pieces within 6 minutes, just like that! LOL

Caught at Coerthas Western Highlands x27,y18
Level 58,Perception: 352, Gathering:430
Bait:Goblin Jig
Extra: Patience on, Precision Hookset on

Kototo Koto Raiden [Light]

Level 62, 398 Gathering, 338 Perception, between 6pm and 9pm Eorzea Time, using Versatile Lure because I forgot to bring bait.

I caught 2 icepicks in my first 5 casts, but didn't catch the 3rd one until cast #17.

So definitely bring the correct bait if you don't want to spend 20-30 minutes at this like I did. :)

Ryushal Karyujin Marilith [Dynamis]

Check your gear, need to be around 300 in both gather/perception from what I could tell.

Started at level 53, caught one with versatile lure after about 4 mins. Then nothing until I hit level 54. Caught the next two on Patience. One about 10 mins in. And then I finally remembered I had some better gear from my other gathering jobs, switched, plugged in the best Materia I had on me. Cast twice on Patience and caught the last one for the quest.

Overall, about 20 mins - but with better gear to start it almost assuredly would've been much faster.

Angital Amih Siren [Aether]

Can confirm what Alexzia said, 3 casts 3 catches with Goblin Jig and nothing else.

Saya Alrior Phoenix [Light]

Okay you'll want to be fishing at approximately Coerthas Western Highlands ( 28.4 , 17.4 ) Z: 0.7, 3 like some people said but the bait I recommend you use is the Goblin Jig. I used it and got the fish each time with it compared to when I tried with Stonefly Nymph or Caddisfly Larva or even the Versatile Lure. Save yourself time and headache and get the Goblin Jig.

Alexzia Tosho Jenova [Aether]

Same here, stonefly nymph at Coerthas Western Highlands ( 28.4 , 17.4 ) Z: 0.7, 3 icepicks in under 10 casts.

Eli Eckhart Midgardsormr [Aether]

Coerthas Western Highlands X: 27.4 Y: 18.3 - Unfrozen Pond - 10PM ET
The Icepick Challenge Fisher Quest

Bait: Stonefly Nymph
Buffs: None

- A lot of people say to use the Verstile Lure, I tried this for about 20 minutes and didn't catch a single Icepick, the second I switched to the Stonefly Nymph, I caught 3 right away within 10 casts. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE STONEFLY NYMPH!

Glorbini Mcshlorbini Excalibur [Primal]

Coerthas Western Highlands X: 28.2 Y: 16.7 Gorgagne Holding

Was doing this for the Level 53 The Icepick Challenge Fisher Quest

Bait: Versatile Lure
Buffs: None (Chum if you want to get a bite faster)

Took like 20 minutes to grab 3 Icepicks. Got a bunch of Ice Faeries and Abalathian Smelts before getting the Icepicks

My fisher level was so low that my fish kept getting away. It's probably best to level up your fisher gear a bit but I had 29 Fisher Item Level LOL (I should really up my gear)

Ran Suu Sargatanas [Aether]

Goblin Jig @ Coerthas Western Highlands, Riversmeet, Unfrozen Pond (28, 17). 3 casts = 3 Icepicks.

Kenari Al'kendra Brynhildr [Crystal]

Location: Coerthas Western Highlands X27.5 Y18.0
Level: 58

I used Cast & Hook for about 5-10 minutes with a Versatile Lure and caught x3 Icepicks.

Kairi Freya Cactuar [Aether]

First try with Versatile Lure, had snagging on and i triple hooked the rest (im at level 90 ^^')

Aylon Wolf Phoenix [Light]

Bait: Versatile Lure

Caught tonnes of Abalathian Smelt before I turned off snagging and caught 3 icepicks in a role.

Saycheese Burger Bismarck [Materia]

Used Versatile lure
at 11pm - 12pm and took around 10 tries
X:28.5 Y:17.5

Akili Natnaa Diabolos [Crystal]

Coerthas Western Highlands
> Riversmeet
X: 28.5, Y: 17.7, Z: 0.7

Fished in that peninsula with the tree! Bought both Stonefly Nymph and Caddisfly Larva from the Independent Merchant in Falcon's Nest (x20/each). Only used Cast and Hook.

Both baits got me three Icepicks within 12 casts. And, coincidently, both gave me one on the first cast. However, the Caddisfly Larva net me a total of 6/20 whereas the Stonefly Nymph only gave me 4/20.

Weather was snowing and it was evening in Eorzea time, but not sure if that mattered much. 15-20 of either bait should suffice, with Caddisfly being the one that worked slightly better for me. Good luck!

Dadani Sil'dani Seraph [Dynamis]

Took me about 20 tries with stonefly nymph at 28.4 17.9 with ilvl 200 gear.

Mokoto Kusanagi Seraph [Dynamis]

most of the posted advice is great, my only advice is it seems the stonefly bait is preferred by these fish.

also, stand on the peninsula with the solitary tree and not on the outer banks, i didnt have any success until moving there; the bait didnt matter on the outer banks.

Chakha Uyagir Zalera [Crystal]

Followed all previous comments. Got one on my 3rd cast. Cast x20 all smelt fell asleep, cast x30 more smelt and occasional faerie. Bought them of the Market. I just want the Hat from this quest...

Kouzura Soju Faerie [Aether]

07/5/23 7AM Eorzea Time (ET)

Location: Coerthas Western Highlands
Coords: X:28.0 Y:19.0 Z: 1.2

Bait: Caddisfly Larva
Abilities/buffs: None

Notes: Cast, then Hook when fish is on. Casted 10 times caught 3 Icepicks. I'd bring 15-20 Caddisfly Larva if you have terrible luck, they are cheap.

Jale Moore Famfrit [Primal]

Tried both Stonefly Nymph and Caddisfly Larva. Only managed to catch it with Stonefly Nymph. First icepick after 10 Stonefly Nymph, second after 12, third after 23. 7:45 am - 11:45 am ET though time might not matter. Caught at Coerthas Western Highlands ( 28.4, 17.5 ) south of Gorgane Mills. Only used Cast + Hook, but I was extremely over-leveled catching up on job quests. Buy bait at merchant at Falcon's Nest.

Mistress Phelicya Sophia [Materia]

Turn off Snagging and or Collect

used Caddisfly Larva with only Cast + Hook

casted 3 times caught 3 Icepicks

Seni Sato Midgardsormr [Aether]

Got them pretty quickly at Coerthas Western Highlands x:28 y:17 using the Caddisfly Larva which can me bought off the independent merchant at the Falcons Nest

Tyo'lo Moui Coeurl [Crystal]

See previous comments for location and everything; I used Stonefly Nymph. I didn't catch a single icepick until it rolled around to evening (6 PM Eorzea time), and then I caught two in a row and the third like three casts later. So maybe something to keep in mind?

Rhonwyn Gwynael Adamantoise [Aether]

I used a goblin jig at Coerthas Western Highlands X: 28 Y: 17 with Patience + Precision Hook! Look out for the (!) bites to land your Icepicks ^^!

June Buggy Brynhildr [Crystal]

For the quest (3x Icepicks) I just used 25 Stonefly Nymphs (Falcon's Nest vendor) at the lake on x21 y11.

Mitzrael Chaoskampf Midgardsormr [Aether]

72 casts + a few mooches at the start with Versatile Lure. :C

Susoona Soosa Faerie [Aether]

If you're getting these for the Lv 53 Job Quest then remember to turn off Collect since Icepicks are also collectables and those won't count for the quest!

Ara'll Fariaeth Sargatanas [Aether]

Following an Mister's post:

Coerthas Western Highlands X: 28.1 Y: 17.8

Asmr Gamr Adamantoise [Aether]

Got myself some Stonefly nymph (99 of them). Went to coerthas western highlands (X:28,4 Y: 16.6), had 214 gathering and 165 perception. Took me about 25 baits before I got them all. Used snagging, and that was it. Dont lose hope, just be patient and u will get them in no time!
Got bait from vendor in coerthas western highlands as well,(X:32.6 Y:36.9)
