* When determining the type of fish that is hooked, the effective [[#Fishing Zone|Fishing Zone]] is increased by 1, ''i.e.,'' trash is less likely to be caught and difficult-to-catch are more likely. Some [[Fish#Legendary Fish|Legendary Fish]] can be found closer to the shore when bubbles are present.

If the player starts the day over, they may notice that Bubble Spots occur in precisely the same coordinates at the exact same time of day, repeatably. This is because their placement is predetermined using the game's [[Random Seed]]<ref name="performtenminuteupdate" />. If the player does a "dry run" through the day and takes notes of any bubble location and game time seen, it is possible to restart the day and take much better advantage of the bubble spots by knowing exactly where and when they will appear.
No more than one bubble spot can exist per area at any given time, but different bubble spots can occur in multiple areas simultaneously. Some bubble spots are not possible for the player to reach with the fishing rod. Bubble spots cannot spawn on the [[Farm]] (unless the player has chosen the [[Farm_Maps|Riverland Farm Map]])<ref name="performtenminuteupdate" />.

<ref name="treasure_special">The chance of a special item appearing in a treasure chest is adjusted by <samp>LuckModifier</samp>, which is set to <samp>(1 + DailyLuck) * FishingZone/5</samp>. This means that fishing zone is the most important factor, as special items are 5x more likely to be found when caught in a fishing zone of 5 instead of 1. Special items are only 1.25x more likely to be found with maximum daily luck (0.125) instead of minimum (-0.1). For example, the chance of finding a Broken Trident varies from 0.075% (DailyLuck=-0.1, FishingZone=1) to 0.469% (DailyLuck=0.125, FishingZone=5). The page lists the chance of finding special items with neutral luck and Zone=5.</ref>
