Using this reference
For Whale Shark, start with the hemisphere and month, then check the hour and location. These conditions work together. Finding the right-looking shadow at the wrong time does not satisfy the availability check, and an available result does not guarantee the next catch.
If the checker says unavailable, change one condition at a time to see what blocks the attempt. A month listed for the opposite hemisphere is not another window on the same island. Keep the location and shadow size beside you while fishing so you can narrow down attempts without treating sale price as a spawn clue.
One useful comparison
For Base sale price, Whale Shark is listed at 13000, compared with 12000 for Saw Shark: a difference of 1000. This compares that field in the recorded variants only. Read the other fields before deciding whether the trade-off matters to your use.
Plan your scenario
Outside this timetable
Use your island’s local clock and hemisphere. Location and shadow still matter; a matching time does not guarantee a spawn.
