Got 'em in Bloodshore, Costa del Sol, 33.4, 33.3 using Spoon Worms. Make sure you are in "Bloodshore", not "Costa del Sol" wasting valuable time like I was.

I don't know what people are saying about Isle of Umbra. Not only are the enemies too high level to get the fish for the level 30 fishing quest but I couldn't catch it there. The location that people were referencing won't even let me fish. I did end up getting it after 3 casts with the Spoon worm bait but in Costa Del Sol( X 31, Y 31). I think they may have patched this earlier in the year because people were having issues with it. Happy fishing!

Year 2026: Do NOT use herring ball as bait. You will waste time fishing up red coral in the Isle of Umbra location that people have already mentioned. Use SPOON WORM to get the fullmoon sardines.

Also, whoever designed these godforsaken time-gated gathering quests: I pray that your pillow is hot every night.

Safi Rankaros Maduin [Dynamis]

Thanks guys! Didn't catch any in the surroundings of Costa del sol so I went to Umbra Isles with Herring ball and BOOM! It was in the night hours.

R'enai Lindimaitar Cerberus [Chaos]

Costa Del Sol, Bloodshore X33 Y33 worked for me. I tried north bloodshore first with versatile lure and got nothing. Once I went to 33/33 and switched to Spoon Worm bait, I had all 10 sardines in about 10 minutes.

Ryushal Karyujin Marilith [Dynamis]

I would like to share my surprising experience: I was fishing at Bloodshore location 31.9 / 33 (Costa de Sol). With herring ball as bait, I got 2 sardines out of 25 fishes. Since bored, I decided to try different and used a level 1 versatile lure... I suddenly got 6 sardines, almost in a row (1 every 2 catches)! LOL

So versatile lure seems to be good enough to speed it up. :D

Side note: Isles of Umbra location requires to be at least fisher level 50.

Western La Noscea > The Isles of Umbra (11.6, 36.6). Herring Ball Confirmed

Yoru Beznasvi Famfrit [Primal]

Western La Noscea > The Isles of Umbra (11.6, 36.6). Herring Ball works like a charm and definitely fish at nighttime. Chum helps a lot but it's not necessary. At nighttime with herring ball, you're more than likely to catch the Fullmoon Sardine, although you might occasionally get a Red Coral. At night, I think I got 10 fish and 2-3 corals in a short period of time.

Sameira Orenda Cactuar [Aether]

La Noscea, Eastern La Noscea, Costa Del Sol, Blooshore X: 31.6, Y: 33.0 - Fish after 6:30pm-6:00am Local Time. Can use Spoon Worm bait, but also had luck with Versatile Lure.

Chel Rhaza Halicarnassus [Dynamis]

South Bloodshore around (33, 33), spoon worm bait and between 10:00pm and 6:00am.

Got about 3-4 in a row with short cast times past 10:00pm.

Bayand Khadan Sagittarius [Chaos]

Spoon worm for bait, 33,33 at Costa del Sol fishing after 6PM! Took less the 15 minutes to catch 10n for quest.

Mindar Taine Seraph [Dynamis]

Eastern La Noscea, 33, 33 confirmed caught at 9pm E Time. Make sure its nighttime

Goodboi Peepis Goblin [Crystal]

At Eastern La Noscea, (33.2, 33.8). Closest aetheryte is Costa Del Sol!
Uses Spoon Worm bait and you can get it from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM Eorzean time. It'll be a (!) bite.
Best of luck fishing!

Mika Mishi Brynhildr [Crystal]

Had an easy time catching around 8:30-10:00 Erozea time! Spoon worm for bait, 33,33 at Costa del Sol! Happy fishing :D

Fani Mela Hyperion [Primal]

This was a total pain. Versatile Lure did work but I started late at 930pm ET. I only finished this in one night due to being so high level for using identical cast. Mythril and Silver Spoon lure do not work. Have to be at 33, 33 or you will not catch any. Caught a few at 230am and at 530am.

Kyo Ce'pear Balmung [Crystal]

(January 2023) Found in South BloodShore
X: 33.4 Y: 33.6 Z:0.0 9pm to 9:20pm varies to getaway fish to new fish plus the quest for Fisher other than that it worked for me...

Misao Harada Faerie [Aether]

Bloodshore at Costa Del Sol, Eastern La Noscea worked like a charm! (September 2022). I fished from 6pm to 6am, used Spoon Worm, fished 10 extra besides the quest and got a shark within two tries of Mooch after catching the large variant of the Sardine. Maybe it will sell nice :)

Lady Astra Spriggan [Chaos]

What Manbearpigoat says above, still valid on July 2022.

Indha Moore Omega [Chaos]

Went to X:33 Y:33, starting fishing at 4:30 Eorzea Time. Bait used was spoon worm. Fullmoon Sardines began showing up sparingly at 6:00 PM sharp. Drop rate greatly increased at 8:00 PM. Would recommend to keep fishing for extra one to mooch it for a silver shark too. Happy fishing!

Verra Beifeng Halicarnassus [Dynamis]

I caught 6 in a row at south bloodshore using spoon worms between 7PM and 7:59PM

After 8PM, the results were mixed, and the remaining 4 I needed for the quest took another 2 in-game hours.
