Starting Out

To begin training the profession, you need to purchase a Fishing Spear from Melv's Fishing Supplies, which is located off of the east side of the Town Square, South of the Guard HQ. You can then head back to the East Beach where you gathered the Brown Kelp for the Tutorial Quest and spear fish 13 Mottled Flounder until level 2. Consult the above table for what fish are available upon leveling up and where they can be found after this point.

Fish Uses

Initially, fish are only useful for selling to the fishmonger, but check the information tab, as certain ones are useful for different recipes and can be stored in the Ingredients Bank that lies within the The Delectable Dab Kitchen at the back of The Delectable Dab Restaurant on the west side of Stone Street.

Fishing Enhancements

When you can afford it, you can visit the Enchanter in Hopeport to enchant your fishing tools for a permanent experience buff while gathering with a particular tool. The Table below indicates the cost and benefits of doing so for each particular tool.
