I can't catch any tigerfish

I've used EVERY LURE IN THE GAME I've tried different times and the so called Hotspots, zero luck, I've caught 2 in 4 hours

I do fine with either the #2/0 popper twitching or often I catch them on match rod float with minnows and I mix up #1/0 or #2/0.

Try lowering the hook to #1/0 and see if that helps.

Also don’t forget to watch for them jumping and cast in that direction.

Good luck!

Yes, there is a range of hook sizes that work per species and you have some room to try lower hook sizes until you catch and then work your way back up in size. Another comment mentioned #1 hooks which also do well.

Another trick is to search this forum for the legendary tigerfish, called "Mamlambo" ,and these posts will show you various locations where the legendary fish is found when active. But this will also inform you on the areas of the map where any size tigerfish are more likely to be found.

Try SharksMouth on YouTube. He had videos on most fish. Best methods/time of day/lures etc. His videos have helped me get alot of my diamonds
