Castaway Cliffs

A single catch can make a trip to Castaway Cliffs worthwhile: Great Goldcursed Shark, a Secret, averages C$25,000. Right behind it the Exotic Scalloped Hammerhead sits at C$8,500, then Mirage Toadfish (Mythical) at C$4,000, Hidden Pipefish (Legendary) at C$3,125 and Warty Frogfish (Rare) at C$920.

Eight fish are documented here: one Secret, one Exotic, one Mythical, one Legendary, one Rare, one Unusual and two Common. The price steps are steep at the top: the Secret is about three times the Exotic.

The zone is well equipped. You will find a crab cage and a bait crate, and the cast of characters includes Sporeticus, an Inn Keeper, a Shipwright, Jolly Zack, a Red Marlins Crate Seller and the Red Marlin Faction. One rod is sold, the Rainbow Cluster Rod for C$250,000.

Verdict: a good stop for someone with a mid-game budget who wants to see Secret and Exotic payouts. The rod is expensive enough to need a reason to buy it, so save for it only if you plan to fish here regularly. Otherwise, bring your own gear and focus on the top two fish.
