So how does Fishing luck work? Fishing luck works by reaching a certain amount of roll score in the loot table. If you exceed the amount of rolls, it will then exclude the ones that are less than your fishing luck.

An example is if you equip Ironwood with the Lucky Day/Night III perk. Complete fishing gear with Lucky Waters III perk. Use tier 3 baits and have 3 major trophies in your house. Do the fishing in a 3-star hotspot, and you will only get Treasure Chests and Legendary Fish.

Catching Oysters

To only catch oysters, we need a fishing luck of about 22,500. Reaching this will require you to have 3 major trophies in your house, using an aged wood pole with no luck perks. However, you must not use fishing gear. Instead, equip either a snail or freshwater bait. This will be the ideal setting to fish oysters in 3-star hotspots.
