★ Time slots beat bait
Same rod, same water — wrong hour, empty bucket. Legendary+ windows run 1-3 hours, some gated by weather (storms, fog). Tape the codex timeslots to your monitor — wisdom from the Stiff Neck Alliance.
“Stared at the bobber all night for a legendary. The legendary never came; a stiff neck did. Checked the codex later — my time window was four hours off.”
