The exact locations where the Speartuna appears are marked on the map above. Speartuna is impossible to mistake for anything else. It looks like a miniature Swordfish, and is bigger than all other fish in the water.
you may check both the time of day and the seasons from the Forecast in the top left corner of the Map screen.
Sometimes—but not always—Speartuna fishing spots are indicated by rough waters. The location is easy to identify by the white foamy circle formed by the choppy waters (pictured above). The foamy water phenomenon is an indication that the Speartuna is there. However, it might not be immediately visible because the water isn’t crystal clear.

And that’s it, the Speartuna fish will be caught and you will have gained a Speartuna Fin.
