The Gobfather ★★★
Location
South Shroud holds 64 fisher nodes, 6 of them time-restricted and the other 58 available at any hour. At level 50 this is higher than 54 of the other 63, which span levels 5 to 50. This one is not among the 6 that are, so it needs no timing — the 58 untimed nodes here can be worked in any order.
Fishing Forecast
Replaying the weather rotation for 365 real days from 1 January 2020 — 7,509 Eorzean days across 22,526 eight-bell weather periods — The Gobfather opens 3,700 times, about 10.1 windows per real day. Those windows average 28 minutes 8 seconds, which leaves it catchable 19.8% of the time.
The median wait from one window closing to the next opening is 1 hour 33 minutes, and the mean 1 hour 54 minutes. The shortest gap in that simulation was 23 minutes 20 seconds; the worst drought ran 12 hours 27 minutes.
Ranked against every other fish in this dataset that carries a time or weather requirement, that is the 185th tightest of 348: 160 are catchable for more of the clock than The Gobfather, and 3 others land on exactly the same figure.
Those windows are not spread evenly across the conditions that allow them: Thunder carries 75.3% of them (2,786 of 3,700) and Thunderstorms 24.7%.
