After you catch a fish you can either sell it to Fred The Fisherman to get fishing experience and gold or ask him to slice it.
Sliced Fish can be used in [[Cooking]] recipes or it can be sold on market for profit.

He is located upstairs, he will either slice fish for you or you can sell him fish for experience and gold. \\ {{::fred_the_fisherman.png?400|}}\\ ===== How to start ======

1. You get clay fishing rod from lvl 275 {{:help_icon.png?nolink&20|}} reward. If you misplaced it, you can always buy another one from the Tool Merchant at -1 floor in DP building.

2. Around the city there are few spots where you can find fishing spots. They are marked as black circles.
Gold circle is where Fred The Fisherman lives along with [[fishing#daily_task|Daily fishing task]] npc. The best fishing spot remains in [[guildhouses|guildhouse]].

3. After you found your favourite spot, prepare some [[energy]] and you can start fishing.
To catch a fish you have to right-click air bubbles that appear on the surface of the water.

4. Fishing rod can be equipped in ring slot. While equipped it will significantly boost your fishing level
allowing you to catch bigger fishes. To further boost your fishing you can explore [[prisons]] and try to get Fishing Lure {{:fishing_lure.gif?nolink&30|}}.
Once used it will permamently boost your fishing level by 30.

5. Every succesfull attempt will cost you 5 energy that can be lowered by certain [[Trinkets]], [[Backpacks]] and [[Companions]].
These bonuses are additive and energy reduction items will definitely help you save alot of money.

===== Fish ======

Fish are not exactly bound to fishing rod that you're using. The higher your fishing level is,
the bigger fish you will be able to catch. Bigger fish = more experience if you sell it to Fred, more slices if you slice it.
