Bait for New Fish

[Pam]

Is there a way we can get the bait for the new fish in Island Paradise?  Carl updated the Guide's list of fish to include the new ones, but no bait.  And there's no Prima Guide, which is usually where I get the information.

I think if someone were to Fish With X, when they found the bait it would be added to the Fishing Journal or to their knowledge of what the bait catches. Of course this is a long process though. Unless it's mentioned within the Game Code what the baits are?

Yeah, I was hoping to avoid that tedious process.  Kelp is probably the bait for at least one of them.

It should be in the XML, in the main fish coding. I'll give it a look.

Edit: None of them have any specific bait, which seems very odd.

There's not a new fishing bait book at the bookstore, either.  I guess maybe they don't have baits.

As I mentioned in the collectibles thread, the new fish cannot be fished up with a fishing pole.  They have to be caught while diving in a diving area.  Since they are not actually fished up, there is no bait for them.
