Topic: Fishing
Lv. 1
############################## <-- (supposed to look like nets)
Begin at this level by catching shrimps using your net near Draynor until level 5 (shrimp give only 10exp. But it is worth it). You may also cook the shrimps for cooking exp.
lv. 5
##############################
at level 5; you are given an option to fish with a rod. This is optional; you may stick to net fishing, or the slower but cheaper method. You can buy a rod at gerrants (in port) for 5gp or so, but the bait will cost a lot (I mean ALOT). You may buy them, but if you have decent combat, you may battle men (who are lv. 9 and drop 1 bait) or zombies in edgeville (drops more than men). You may either fish near draynor, barbarian village creek, the river in lumbridge, or pay 30gp and fish in karamja, anyplace will do. At lv. 5 you can only catch sardines, level 10 you may catch herrings(30 exp), and at level 20-30 (I forgot) you can catch pike(80 exp).
Lv. 15
##############################
now you can take a break for angling and net fish again, but this time you will catch tasty anchovies that give a decent 40 exp. if you get to this point, then pat yourself on the back. :'-) *sniff* I proud!
lv.20

Blah! Blah! No relaxation is over bub, time for fly-fishing! *rimshot* you can buy fly-fishing rods at gerrants for 5 gp, and those who buy the bait-feathers are idiots. Why spend money when you can go to a chicken coop, and over there you can get 30 feathers at a time from killing chickens. After getting about 300 (enough to level up to level 30), you can fly-fish at lumbridge river, or (my suggestion) the barbarian village creek. You can only catch trout at level 20 (60 exp) and salmon (80 exp) at level 30.
lv.35

finally! Your hard work has played off and now you don't have to angle anymore (I mean it this time). I suggest you to sell all of your old fishing equipment (rods, nets, bait, feathers, etc.) and buy a harpoon. Get 30gp in your inventory because you can only harpoon in karamja.
When you get there go to the support (I call it a pier) and click on the sparkling water. Yay! Tuna!!! Catch a few of these (100exp.) and sell them to the general store. If they are high in stock, cook them and sell them (level 30 cooking minimum) for your trip back.
ALWAYS bring raw tuna to mainland because you can sell a lot at a light inventory and you can
sell them to gerrant and could make K's if low in stock!
lv.40
##############################
this is my personal favorite way of fishing--trapping! You get to trap lobsters, cook 'em make them into certs and sell for a very high price. All you need is a lobster pot, they look like creels and can be bought at gerrant (I?m tired of saying that b45t4rd's name) for about 20gp each. Go to karamja again and right-click this time to pot lobsters. Happy hunting! =P
p.s. why do raw lobbies look cooked and vise-versa?
lv.50
##############################
this is your best fish you can catch if thou art a free server-swordfish! These, like the lobster, can be made into certs, raw of cooked; but unlike the lobster, these are more valuable. To catch these, take out or buy another harpoon and go to karamja *Hawaiian music*.
At the support you may catch swordfish.
*fanfare* congratulations! You have mastered fishing ...and read through this without falling asleep...LOL
