THE SHORT ANSWER
Match your missing journal entry to its reported lure pool, keep ordinary and Drip progress separate, and check for an active boss before another boss-bait attempt. A later lure is not automatically better.

Check a name only after its kill records in Tab. The targeting lure shown is the best reported accessible pool in build 25127368; a creature may also appear in another pool.
Reported guidance · Inspect source ↗Corpus’s independently extracted 1.0.12 reference says purchased lure selection uses the lure’s weighted list without filtering by island. Islands still matter for reaching shops, quest rewards and authored encounters.
Reported guidance · Inspect source ↗The same reference reports that an active boss can block another dedicated boss bait or substitute a default result in a mixed pool. Finish the active encounter before spending another boss lure.
Reported guidance · Inspect source ↗For each blank entry, record the name, lure, whether another boss is active, and your displayed version. Change one condition at a time.
Kingy advice · Inspect source ↗For ordinary creatures, record the ordinary and Drip variants separately. Corpus reports that boss and miniboss kills fill both journal versions. The tracker keeps the two marks independent so you can match your own journal.
