This guide will give you a simple instruction on how to fish, you will read about the possible locations, the pros and cons about those locations, where to buy fishing rods and where to sell fish.
Buying fishing rods can be done over at the pub in the docks area.
Go inside and speak with one of the NPC's in there to make your purchase, if you do not have any money on you an ATM can be found inside the pub. To successfully make the purchase simply click the fishing rod using your LMB (Left mouse button).
To start fishing you will have to find a source of water big enough to be able to hold fish. There are a few locations that can be used for fishing, there is the Docks, the Beach, Hicktown and the Forest Pond. To get started simply put your fishing rods on the side of the water and make sure the hooks are in the water, eventually a fish will take a bite or trash will get stuck on the hook, you can take these off by pressing E on the item. Although these are some of the primary fishing spots, please note that you can fish anywhere around the docks, beach fronts and Hicktown.
Docks is the most simple place for newer people to go fishing. You can easily obtain more fishing rods if yours go missing, you can also sell your fish directly to the vendor inside Lelito's Pub. But beware, of where alongside the docks you fish, as parts of the docks are muggable areas. It's recommended you seek advise from the mugging map before settling down with your rods here.
Beach is also a good place for fishing and you are unable to get mugged here.
You can also purchase a beach hut directly from the bank, the beach hut is placed alongside the beach by regals resort, offering you quick and easy access to a storage chest where you can store your fish.
There's also plenty of places to park nearby the beach, allowing you to park a vehicle nearby with a storage chest, for convenient way to transport your fish to a Vendor.
Hicktown Lake is more hidden place, but just like the docks, like in hicktown, your location may be the difference between you being left alone to fish, or a convenient target for a mugging. It could be smart to take some advice from the mugging map before fishing in these locations. The fishing spot displayed below is situated right next to Roxie's Diner and is not a muggable location.
Though if you buy a Hicktown trailer, which is almost a must if you go fishing here. You have the ability to really easily store your fish and belongings inside of the storage chest inside of your trailer.
After using the Hicktown trailer's storage you still need to sell the fish after, you can do this by going to the Suburbs Gas Station. You can take fish out of the storage into your inventory.
Forest Pond is a hidden gem nearby love lane in the forest. Although remote, with limited options nearby to store or sell your items, you might need to rely more on alternative ways to transport your fish here. However this location serves as a peaceful and off-grid location for you to take a break from the city life. Additionally no one can mug you in this location.
Selling your fish is really easy, all you have to do is find a NPC vendor that sells items, it doesn't matter which NPC you use, simply interact with them by pressing E while looking directly at them, and then clicking the fish thats in your inventory. Left-click sells 1 fish at a click. Right-click sells 5 fish (or less if you dont have 5) at a click.
