edit: you can also monitor your local newspaper for the sale leaves, lol... i got one from the newspaper for $3.
and the hot spot is when you are going to fish, you see like fish silhouettes moving/circling in the pond. there are three silhouettes every reset time (i don't know maybe every 10 hours or more). if you hit your baits there, you will absolutely get the double amount of the fish you catch or, double amount of experience points of a single fish (it depends on which baits you use to fish and also your luck).
you can hit your baits not on the hot spots and you will still get something. i got my candy fish not from the hot spots. leave your hot spots for catching anchovies, sea bass, catfish, tuna, or salmon. they will be definitely needed for deliveries to get the tree's upgrade parts.
