Find the tree, then make the cast
The How to Fish Wiki player-capture guide locates the Coconut purchase at the palm tree near the centre of Desert. Look for the purchase interaction rather than an ordinary shop listing.
Confirm that the prompt names Coconut before buying. The point is to identify the interaction, not memorize a tree silhouette from a different camera angle.
Kingy adviceEquip the Coconut on your Fishing Rod and cast from Desert. The player-capture guide documents the Coconut as single-use, so check your gear before spending it.
After reeling in the creature, use movement and the trees to interrupt direct approaches while fighting at range. Published guides recommend an upgraded SMG, but their evidence does not establish that it is the only viable weapon.

Confirm the result
Read the encounter or creature name. A strange shape by itself is not reliable identification. If your result differs, keep the lure, island and version in your notes rather than repeatedly paying for an assumed guarantee.
