The octopus is my arch-nemesis, and I definitely would not object if it were to be nerfed at least a little bit in the future, especially since it can only be caught in one season, or during the deep sea tour at the Night Market. There are even a few legendary fish that are less difficult to catch than the octopus. I'd go as far as to call it a pseudo-legendary.
The Rain Totem is your friend. Once I found out about this I just spammed these all the time until getting those elusive rainy day Fish. However the requirements for making one usually means you won't have access to it until Year 2 unless you're adhering to a strict Min/Max schedule, which I don't do because it's
Honestly the CC is one of my least favorite things about the game. I'd much like it if mayor lewis fixed the CC on his own and you could just go around doing your farming thing. Why?

Yeah, like I said, it was my first playthrough (didn't understand every part), and my foraging wasn't high enough (no rain totem recipe).
It's not doing the bundles thats the issue, its the thematic issue. They have this old building that everyone wishes was restored, but they are all waiting for someone else to do it. No one else has the pride to start, no one has the initiative to try to gather people, so instead they just sit and let it rot.
There are various types of lures, some help, others don't. Trap lure helps the most IMO (others like lead, because they have bottom bounce issues).
