Fishing

Fishing is a skill that nets you experience, coin and fun. Perfect for the new player as well as relaxing for the old, fishing is fairly easy to do. You need to see one of the many merchants in the towns throughout the lands who sell poles and bait. Those are the bare necessities for this ability, but the serious fisherman can add tackle boxes and bait buckets. Once outfitted, you find the nearest waterway, be it ocean, bay, pond or stream and get comfortable. "Bait pole with worm" is the syntax. Make sure you dont put the worm on the pole because the little dickens will just march around on there, not doing much good. Once baited, "Cast pole" will send your line reeling out onto the water. Then it is just a matter of patience and constantly maintaining the line by using "pull pole." When you get a bite, "pull pole" will reel him in and then you get "fish" from pole, or as you will find out "get mackerel from pole." Slap the poor fish to end his struggling, then take your catch to Fishy Jim or one of his cohorts to be weighed and you will be paid according to size and quality. This skill will up your Outdoorsmanship.
