The last two are junk and have no actual value. Other than those, most fish are easy to catch and have no special requirements. Thankfully, weather doesn’t matter when trying to catch specific fish. Some fish, like the Goblin Shark, may have a higher spawn chance when it’s raining/snowing, but they can be found even when it isn’t. Just ensure you’re in the right location during the proper season.
