How to Fish
You can either fish on land by facing the water, or anywhere at sea. You can also buy bait from an item merchant (the ones that sell clothes) and use it the same fashion that you use the skill.

There are as of yet 3 different baits. Using these wil not raise your Fishing Skill.
 * Bait - Normal bought at every Shopkeeper. Probably lowest rate of catching fish and common fishes are caught.
 * Live bait - Get it from sunken ship from maps or maybe buy later in game. Also obtained as a reward for some Adventurer-type quests. Higher catching rate and rarer fish caught.
 * Fishing Net - Same as Live Bait
 * Fishing Skill - best thing to use

The "catch"
Yeah it's a pun.


 * I have found that it is harder to catch something at open waters.


 * It takes longer to catch something in the ocean.


 * What you catch in towns will be automatically exchanged for money. It'll be at a lower market price than if you sold something you caught from the sea.


 * Poisonous fish will be thrown back into the water.


 * What you catch in the ocean is rarer than on land (so far anyway).
 * I've noticed that seagulls will sometimes fly around your vessel at times, this is perhaps there are more fish in the area since seagulls only fly out to the ocean to die. (Unconfirmed) [edit: Seagulls and Dolphins make you invulnerable versus Disaster]
 * You can make Provisions out of the Fish in a 1:1 trade on the fly at sea. Higher level fish covert into more food. One Spanish Mackrel is worth seven food provisions.
 * By buying book from Shopkeeper (Marsielle) you can process caught fish into "Fish" which sells for more Ducats. 1 fish into 1-3 "Fishes".
