Legal fishing
Starting to Fish
To fish, you will need a license, a fishing rod, and bait. You can fish either on the shore or via a boat. You will need the bait in your inventory in order to use the fishing rod, which is also used through the inventory menu.

With your rod out, you will periodically presented with "Press x to reel in your catch", where x will be a different button on your keyboard. Provided you have the bait and the inventory space, this has a chance to reel in a fish. The fish may also swim away from your rod, and you may also lose your bait with no catch.
Alongside regular fishing, there are also 'protected species' which are illegal to fish. These include: shark, dolphin, and whale. Illegal fish have their own sell-point, with more lucrative prices but this location must be found through roleplay methods.
