'''Standing on Land:'''
* Activate the [[fishing pole]], [[fishing rod]], or [[fishing net]]
* Right-click a fully submerged [[water tile]] within 3 tiles of the tile on which you stand.
* Select "Fish".
'''Embarked on Boat:'''
* Activate the fishing pole or fishing rod
* Right-click a fully submerged water tile within 3 tiles of the [[boat]] and select "Fish". Another option, with the fishing rod activated, is to simply right-click the boat itself and select "Fish".
'''Note''' - When fishing by boat, due to the forces of wind and current, it is often necessary for the captain to either moor the boat with an [[anchor]] or disembark and then re-embark as a passenger. This will secure the boat from further movement and then make fishing possible.
* A [[fish keep net]] can be attached to a boat to help reduce decay on fish, also can be planted next to a player (in water) for same affect
→Method: added info on how to fish with rod and spear, and a blank section for net fishing until we get further info
== Method ==
=== Rod fishing ===
# Right-click on a tile or boat > '''Start fishing'''
# A timer begins for casting. Cast by moving the mouse. When the circle is not red, left-click to cast at that spot.
# A 2nd timer starts (3 minutes). During this time, the following can happen:
* After a delay, a fish will appear and swim to the hook where it will take a bite (the float bobs up and down as well as the line moves).
* You have a limited time to try to hook the fish.
* If you manage to hook a fish it will try to get away, during this time you may see the fish moving away from or closer to you.
** If the fish gets too far away, it will escape.
** If the fish gets close to you, it will be caught.
** There is a possibility for the rod to break (actually the rod stays with you but you loose the reel and anything in it).
** There is a possibility for the line to snap (you will loose anything that was on the line as well).
*If you tried and failed to hook the fish, your fishing session is over.
*If you did not try to hook the fish, it will swim away, and after a delay another will turn up.
===Spear fishing===
# Right-click on a tile > '''Start fishing''
# A timer will start, waiting for fish to arrive.
*A fish will appear and slowly swim fairly close to you. It will pass just in front of you.
*You can try to spear it by launching your spear (e.g. left-click) near the fish.
**If you hit it, you catch a fish.
**If you miss it, it will swim away. It’s also possible to hit your own foot!
*If you decide to leave the fish alone, it will swim on past. Once out of range after a delay a new fish should turn up.
===Net fishing===
* ?
'''[[Bait]]'''
Each time a fish bites on a baited line, the bait will take damage (e.g. the fish eats a bit of it). Bait is not required to catch fish (i.e. you can catch fish without bait), but the chances are a lot lower. Different fish prefer different bait.
