| Effectiveness | Requirements | Details
|
|---|---|---|
|
***** | 5 | Sardines sell for about 31 coins each if raw, and around 10 coins when cooked. These can be fished from the Catherby shore, the southern shore of Al-Kharid, and Draynor Village. |
|
***** | 10 | Herring sells for about 33 coins each if raw, and around 14 coins when cooked. However while fishing these sardines are also caught, worth half as much. These are fished in the same spots as sardines. |
|
***** | 18 | Catch anchovies in the same spot as herring and sardine with a small net. Anchovies sell for about 8 coins each, while the cooked versions sell for 11 coins each. Shrimp is advisably dropped being worth much less than anchovies. |
|
***** | 35
30 coins | Tuna can be caught at level 35 fishing in either Catherby or the Fishing Guild. They sell for 48 when cooked, and 69 when raw. Also the higher your agility the more chance you have of catching two Tuna at a time. |
|
***** | 38
Fishing bait, light source in Lumbridge Swamp Caves. Recommended: Spiny Helm | Cave eel are caught in the same spots as slimy eel. Raw cave eels sell for 401 coins each. For every 3000 bait used, profits are 1 to 1.3 million coins. |
|
***** | 40
30 coins | Fishing lobsters is a popular way to make money for both free-to-play members and lower level pay-to-play members. There are two popular places to catch them; Karamja or Catherby. Caught at Karamja, bank is quick in TzHaar city, or they can be put into note form at Stiles. Other options include fishing in Catherby, Catherby bank is close. One other place is Jatizso. You need to start The Fremennik Isles quest but it is really close to a bank and is most of the time unpopulated. |
|
***** | 50
30 coins | At this level Swordfish may be caught and sold for 147 when cooked and 290 when raw. Tuna, however, is caught with them. Locations include Catherby, Fishing Guild, musa point, or Jatizso(completion of The Fremennik Trials required) Also the higher your agility the more chance you have of catching two swordfish at a time. |

***** | 62
Swan Song completed | Monkfish are found at the Piscatoris Fishing Colony. They tend to be caught faster than sharks, even at high levels, and sell for around 449 coins each when raw, and about 312 coins when cooked. In an hour, 250-320 monkfish are caught, depending on Fishing level. (good to level to 99 with) |
|
***** | 65
Tai Bwo Wannai Trio completed | Raw karambwan are worth 2,291 coins each. Keep in mind that the Karambwan will sometimes steal the bait from the vessel. If this happens often, it lowers profit. At level 68 the Karambwan steals approximately half of your inventory of Karambwanji. |
|
***** | 70
Light source, and a Spiny helmet Reccomended: Lost City and Death to the Dorgeshuun | Slimy eel sells for 502gp each and can be caught in Lumbrigde Swamp Cave (fastest way) in the same way as Raw cave eel which only sells for 352gp each. Slimy eel only requires 28 Fishing but needs at least 70+ Fishing to make a good profit.This method is not advised however as players will have great difficulty selling the fish. |
|
***** | 76 | At this level sharks may be fished. Sharks are caught fairly slowly even at high levels, so it is advisable not to fish them with a fishing level lower than about 80. Raw sharks sell for 1,026 coins each, and cooked sharks fetch 825 coins each. At 95+ Fishing 1,000 sharks are caught in 7 hours or less; on average, only about 150 sharks can be caught in an hour, even with 99 fishing. It is still arguable that this is the best conventional method of making money by fishing except possibly Rocktail fishing. Also the higher your agility the more chance you have of catching two sharks at a time. |
|
***** | 81 | The Fishing Trawler activity provides Manta rays and/or sea turtles from level 81 if the boat lasts 10 minutes without sinking. Unlike most fish, cooked sea turtles and manta rays fetch higher prices than their raw counterparts. Cooked manta rays can sell for about 2,837 coins each while cooked sea turtles sell for 2,536 coins. If the boat does not sink, normally approximately 20 manta rays are acquired, leading to 50,000 coins every 10 minutes. This is only if the player is with a good team, the boat not sinking. |

***** | 85
Fishing bait | The Living Rock Caverns is an area in the dwarven mines where high level fishers and miners can train their skills. One should to catch Cavefish. To catch this fish, you will need normal fishing bait and good armour to defend yourself from aggressive high-level rock creatures. A raw cavefish has a market price of 1,695 gold pieces and a cooked cavefish sells for 928 gold pieces. |
|
***** | 90 | Just like Cavefish, you can catch another high leveled fish in the Living Rock Caverns - Rocktail. To catch this fish, you will need some bait called Living Minerals. The market price of living minerals is 58 coins. Again, you will need some good armour to defend yourself from the aggressive living rock creatures. The market price for raw rocktail is 2,010 coins and the price for cooked rocktail is 1,696 coins. You are able to make over 100,000 - 250,000 coins per hour using this method. Because rocktails start at level 90 you will start off making around 100k/hr as you increase your level it should become faster to fish. The fishing boost gained by using a fishing familiar like an ibis or granite lobster allows you to fish faster. However, you can also use a pack-yak familiar and bank rocktails using winter storage scrolls, therefore negating the need to run to the bank and increasing profit per hour. |
