That is exactly what I thought... and any spawn you saw in the ocean during the day (clear skies) was a previous spawn during a rainy day.

I have a guy here says he saw one "spawn" in a river.... and I tried to tell him that had to be one that followed him from the ocean on a rainy day.

Night spawns..despawn at night.

Day spawns remain.
