Eric, I'm not entirely sure you must be in a fishing boat to draw legends. I'm fairly sure my first came at dock. Not positive, still checking. It says deep water, however i'm able to go to 90 feet at any dock. Which is the depth i've caught legs.
I'm checking the wiki, back with a edit in a sec. Here we go.
The wiki can sometimes be vague and unhelpful unintentionally.
If anyone wants to add to a wiki, be prepared to be as boring and concise and simple as you can.
This looks like you can't even buy leg lures til 20,.
"Access to Legendary Lures Unlock access to the Legendary Lure. Using the lure you can now catch Legendary Fish. level 20"
This vaguely implies you can buy them but not use them until 20.
"The Legendary Lure is the expensive upgrade from the Regular Lure that the player can use to catch all types of fish including Legendary Fish. This lure is available to use once the player reaches Level 20 Fishing (Mastered)."
How hard is it to write, "You can not buy or use legendary lures until a fish master of level 20, and then only with a master rod. <---not saying this is true, just trying to show better wiki syntax. Was mine clear leaving no doubt?
Copied from the tlopo wiki.
"Legendary Fish are the sea creatures spoken of in whispers across the bar tables by veteran fishermen. Despite the general rule of "The One That Got Away". The legends and stories about these majestic creatures are not in the slightest exaggerated. A pirate who becomes level 20 in fishing may seek out these beings and try to capture them, and retrieve one of their scales as a trophy. There are five different Legendary Fish roaming the Caribbean, and each scale is worth a pretty penny. You can also find Famed items from these monsters.
Unlike all other fish in the sea, you can ONLY catch a Legendary fish with a Legendary Lure. You must have it to try and catch a legend. These massive fish can only be found in the deepest waters, so be prepared to go out on a Fishing Boat.
Talk to the Fishmaster, and listen to their tales. It will help you figure out where to look though each fishmaster provides different stories and each one has little infomation on at least one of the legendary fish.
Once your line is cast, BE PATIENT. A legendary fish doesn't just appear, so you may find yourself avoiding regular fish while you wait. To do this, when you see a ? or ! above a fish's head, quickly click on your mouse, and it will scare the fish away. And they may not decide to make an appearance, but when one does all of the other fish quickly scatter and it's just YOU and the FISH.
Legendary Fishing
Legendary fish icon
There are five legendary fish, when you are lucky enough to have one take your lure, you will see a gauge at the top of the screen. You must wear the massive fish down and it will take new skills. Your fishing skills will NOT work here.
The fish will Struggle - quickly left-click as fast as you can to keep him from getting away.
Then, Reel it in. Move the mouse in a clock-wise circle around the reel to crank it closer.
Sometimes you will need to Catch the Reel. Quickly click on the back-spinning reel to keep from losing it.
Finally, after a while of Struggling, Reeling and Catching, you will land the big one! How long it takes varies from fish to fish."
