Alternatively you can use a boat: Head out to deep water, activate your fishing rod, right click on your boat and select ''Fish''. Note that you will probably have to moor the boat first or it will drift too far to complete the action. It may help to embark on the boat as passenger rather than commander.
== Types of Fish ==
The higher the quality of the fish, the more weight the fish will have. Each species has a weight to quality ratio. A high quality roach will likely never outweigh any quality of catfish for example.
You can get better fish in deeper water. This water depth is the same depth that first triggers the "Out to Sea" achievement. Past that point special fishing tiles, usually found with [[Lurker in the deep]] pendants, begin showing up quite frequently. These fish are always the same weight, and even at low skill fishing on a [[Item:White shark|White shark]] or [[Item:Marlin|Marlin]] tile can double your total kg of fish intake per hour easily.
Some shore fish can also be caught out in ocean waters, usually at a higher quality than they would be found closer to shore.

== Notes ==
* Fishing in deep water can give deeper is always better fish.
* Fishing skill goes up as you fish, not when you catch the fish.
* Fishing is close to impossible in small pools (less than 4x4) of water.
