Red Snapper

Anyone starting out in Moosewood will meet the Red Snapper early. It is a Common fish, it takes any bait, bites at any hour in any weather, and appears in Summer and Autumn, so the only real filter is the season.

It weighs 1 kg to 7 kg, averaging 4 kg, and at C$10 per kg an average fish sells for about C$50, with 80 base XP. By average value it is 656th of the 742 documented fish, and by maximum weight 507th of 663, so it sits in the lower end on both counts. Its low price is consistent with being a beginner fish.

Neighbors in Moosewood at the same rarity are Anchovy, Largemouth Bass, Sockeye Salmon and Trout. The zone also sells five rods, Flimsy Rod, Fast Rod, Crew Rod, Lucky Rod and Long Rod, which makes Moosewood a convenient base for upgrading while you fish.

The practical read is straightforward: this fish is easy to catch and low in value, so it is a good fit for new players who have not unlocked better bait yet. Sell it for the C$50 and use the money toward gear, and do not spend premium bait on it. As your tools improve you will outgrow it, and nothing in the data suggests a reason to keep it long term.
