You Might Need Some Better Food For Them

Stripey feathers can be obtained by snaring tropical wagtails. Rainbow fish can be used raw to hunt barb-tailed kebbits, or cooked and eaten to heal 11hp.Get your Harpoon and head off to the beautiful island of Karamja. Go down to the fishing dock, located North of the banana field.The trip to Karamja will cost you 30 gold pieces by the way, and another 30 to get back. Here you'll be able to catch tuna with the harpoon. Simply right click on the fishing spot and select "harpoon". Tuna is good for training on low level monsters that won't hit you that hard. For example, Karamja Volcano has red spiders and skeletons which are good for training. There are also Lesser Demons, but you might need some better food for them.

Next on the harpooning chain is swordfish. You will need level 50 fishing to fish these. They heal 14 hp, and you catch them the same place you catch tuna. Depending on your fishing level, you will most likely get more tuna than swordfish when harpooning for them. Like the tuna, you also need a harpoon to catch swordfish.Members who reach a lofty level 76 can start catching the bone-crunching sharks. They heal an amazing 20 hp, and you catch them the same place you go big net fishing.If you are p2p, you can obtain Barb-tail harpoons from Barb-tailed Kebbits (level 33 Hunter) or buy from other players. A barb-tail harpoon is wieldable, which frees up 1 more inventory space. That's handy isn't it?

You can also fish lobsters on Karamja. However, to do this, you will need a "Lobster Pot" to do this (don't ask WHY they call it a pot...makes more sense to call it a cage. A pot is for cooking! Oh well...). The lobster pot will cost 20 gold pieces from the Port Sarim fishing shop. Lobsters are a great way of making money. Many people prefer lobsters for training food, because you only need level 40 to fish and cook them, and they heal 12 hp. Cage is the first option when you click on the sea fishing spot.

When you reach level 48 fishing and have completed enough Barbarian Training, you will be able to catch Leaping trout. At higher fishing levels you can catch Leaping salmon and even Leaping sturgeon (there are strength and agility level requirements as well). You will need a Heavy fishing rod, as well as bait to catch these fish. A Heavy fishing rod can be found under Otto's bed. You can use any of these items as bait(from left to right of the picture): Bait, Feather, Fish cutoffs, Caviar, Roe. As a bonus to fishing experience, you will also gain a small amount of Strength and Agility experience. The Leaping trout and salmon are no different then their fly fishing counterparts except that these fish cannot be cooked. But if you use a knife with a leaping fish, you will obtain 10 cooking experience as well as one or more of the following: Fish cutoffs, Roe (Trout, Salmon), Caviar (Sturgeon). But sometimes cutting up the fish will give you nothing. The Roe and Caviar can be used on 2 dose potions to enhance them. A dose of these potions will heal a few HP as well as the normal potion effect.

With 55 Fishing and more Barbarian Training, members can use their own bare hands to capture fish! This is exactly like Harpoon fishing, but you will get some Strength exp as well. Take note that to do this, you must have a Strength level equivalent to the fishing level that is needed to normally catch this fish. For example, Tuna requires 55 Fishing and 35 Strength to capture.

When you have completed Tai Bwo Wannai Trio quest and have the appropriate fishing level you can catch your own Karambwan which heals 18 each if cooked properly. First you need loads of Karambwanji for bait. Use a small net to catch them in the lake just south of the Tai Bwo Wannai village fire ring. When you think you have enough, grab your vessel and head across the log bridge and up to the north shore. Use a Karambwanji with your vessel to load it, then click on a fishing spot and away you go! Remember, you have to reload your vessel after each catch. Players who have at least started Fairy Tale Part II quest to access fairy rings, can use code CKR for the Karambwanji lake, and code DKP to reach the Karambwan fishing shore.
