Ok, I have been known to be evil at times but I will be kind and post something that helps all those who refuse to use the search function here looking for "the red herring". It will also gain you some gold too. If you use google and search you will see a red herring is a fish. Where do you catch fish in TON......Estero Beach.
Make sure you have the "Red Butt Plug" from the bait shop.
Then go in and out of the beach until you see a red herring (it may take many attempts).
NOTE: You can also pickup 225 gold max to increase your gold when the 7 spots spawn.
FORUM MODS: Please don't delete this helpful post to use the search function unless it violates rules or you accidentally delete it while pissing yourself laughing.
What a clever joke, my compliments
There is no "Red Butt Plug" in the bait shop, so I could challenge you to show a screen shot as proof but wouldn't that take the joke a bit too far?
English is only my second language but I'm practiced enough to know the meaning of words like Red Herring and Wild Goose Chase.. as aware that the Dev of this game has a lot of humor and likes to play small jokes on us, or rather.. the Hint Lady does it for him at the end of each version
However.. a lot of players are not that practiced and could fall for your helpful attempt, so your initial statement of being "evil at times" would also apply this time
