Fishing is a great way to get money as raw and cooked fish are always in high demand. Raw fish are also ways in high demand because cooks use fish such as Monkfish, Sharks and Lobsters to get 99. Cooked fished are in high demand all the time too as it is the most commonly used way to restore your HP during PVP and PVM. Fishing is also a great skill because it requires almost no money to level. I will assume that you have a basic understanding of the game. If you are unsure of a location use the in game map and type in the serach bar
