Since you will already have good enchanted fishing rods to catch rare fish if you’re in the Second Sea, you might want to know how to get baits like Crystal Bananas and Mist Worms. These can be obtained from Tropical Bait crates, which can be fished with the Magnet bait in any location such as Waveborne, Open Ocean, Pine Shoals, Emberreach, Lushgrove, Azure Lagoon and Isle of New Beginnings as well. The Golden Worm, however, can be found via AFK rewards.
Use the Sundial totems to switch from day to night as per your preference (or make the most of the totems used by other players to save your own). You can’t change the season, so you will need to wait it out and look for specific seasonal fish based on the current one. Players can also use totems to switch the weather from windy to foggy, to rainy.
If you want to catch Tropical bait crates, use simple rods like the Plastic Rod, Training Rod, Candy Cane Rod, Fast Rod, and the Flimsy Rod. Any type of bait other than Magnet can also provide these crates, so try your luck with Bagel, Work, Seaweed, Insect, Maggot, Glakes and more.
Here are the % chances of getting your required baits for the Isle of New Beginnings bestiary:

- Mist Worms: 9.68%

With this, you should be able to complete the Isle of New Beginnings bestiary in Fisch and progress to fish collection from other parts of the Second Sea.
