== Fish ==
Note: To catch herring, you need to place fishing nets on the fishing spots and wait for the herring to be caught. You can check when the nets are ready by inspecting them. The net can then be dumped out into the inventory. The Raw herring can then be sliced for lobster bait by using a knife with it. 
A willow or yew lobster trap is needed to trap lobster on the locations shown on the map. This can be made by combining a willow or yew cage made with carpentry with a buoy made with smithing.

== Efficient Fishing Guide ==
Perch: Perch can be caught off the coast off the west side of the Immerbury Bank (the one next to the general store). To catch them, you need jars of worms which can be purchased from the general store. 
Pike: Pike can be caught off the west side of the Immerbury bank, as well as Perch 
Herring: Herring can efficiently be caught on the water near Immerbury while in a boat, where there are five spots to catch them. You can use the armoury bank to bank the fish. They are used to being bait for trap lobster fishing. When a fishing net is laid down on the herring trap fishing spots, they can be caught in 3 minutes. Once caught, they can be sliced with a knife to get sliced herring which then can be used to trap lobster fishing bait. 
Trout: Trout can be caught North-east of Immerbury, outside the town. 
Cod: The only location to catch raw cod is in Gesterville. They provide very fast XP and great cooking XP. There is a range very close by as well.
Crayfish: Crayfish can be caught in No Man's Land at the pond to the east or in Tinon. Both are in PK zones.
Lobster: With the exception of one spot in Al Huyyar in the Al Aljar Desert, lobster can be caught using trap fishing, which is the most effective way to catch lobster, however, this also requires catching herring for bait. The most efficient location to catch lobster through trap fishing is west of Kilewe Village at sea, where there are 7 lobster traps fishing spots, slightly south-west of Vaillerrithes at sea, where there are 5 lobster trap fishing spots, and lastly, south of Al Aljar at sea, where there are ? lobster trap fishing spots. Lobster trap fishing spots, when cages are laid down, are on a 5-minute timer. 
Swordfish: Swordfish can be efficiently caught in Vaillerrithes while on a boat. It is possible to catch swordfish and lobster at the same time here by trapping lobster with lobster traps nearby and picking up the lobster after banking an inventory of swordfish. Lobster traps take 5 minutes to catch lobster.
Shark: Shark can be harpooned effectively south of Al Aljar at sea and west of Kilewe Village at sea. To fish them, you must first weaken them in combat and then use a harpoon on them. They are level 66 combat. The best gear to wear for killing them is Jungle Top and Jungle Bottom or Botanic Armor for the typing of grass for maximum offensive efficiency. If you stay on your boat, you will be Wood, Grass typing instead of Grass, Grass, so it's best to dismount from your boat. When killed with a harpoon, you will often get more than one or multiple shark meat. 
Sea Turtles: Sea Turtles are only found west of Kilewe Village, where they can be weakened with combat and then harpooned at sea. To fish them, you must first weaken them in combat and then use a harpoon on them. They are level 44 combat. The best gear to wear for killing them is Jungle Top and Jungle Bottom or Botanic Armor for the typing of Grass, Grass for maximum offensive efficiency. If you stay on your boat, you will be Wood, Grass typing instead of Grass, Grass, so it's best to dismount from your boat. When killed by a harpoon, unlike a shark, you will only get one turtle per harpoon kill.
