The short answer
- Island: Island 4
- Rod: Fishing Rod
- Lure: Professional Lure
- Reported sale value: $320
- Reel it onto land and finish the creature before treating the Fishipedia entry as complete.
Prepare the Island 4 cast
- 1
Reach Island 4 and equip the Fishing Rod.
- 2
Load a Professional Lure before choosing the cast point.
- 3
Pick shoreline with enough open ground to see and finish the landed creature.
- 4
Cast, reel the Flying Fish onto land and move away from other threats before attacking.
Protect the value of the attempt
A Professional Lure is a later-game input, so do not start the cast while low on health or surrounded. Clear the immediate area, reload first and keep the fish visible after it lands. A failed finish wastes more time than a few seconds of preparation.
Use the reported $320 sale deliberately
At the reported $320, Flying Fish is a more meaningful ordinary sale than the Island 2 Piranha. Sell when the next lure, weapon upgrade or ammunition purchase is blocking progress. Eat it only when recovery is worth more than the cash and cheaper food is unavailable.
Failed-attempt checklist
- 1
No Flying Fish: confirm Island 4 and Professional Lure before changing the shoreline.
- 2
Creature escapes after landing: choose more open ground and finish the fight immediately.
- 3
Unexpected low sale value: verify the collected creature is Flying Fish, not another Island 4 entry.
- 4
Repeated dry streak: keep the lure fixed for a full set of casts before changing one variable.
