Fishing is a practice where crew members can use various baits and fishing rods to catch fish. There is a variety of fish available to catch and cook and various exciting items to accidentally pull out of pools of water.
Fishing rods are the meat of the fishing system: without them you could not do much! Fishing rods allow crew members to hunt for fish and items inside large bodies of water. Crafty crew members can even use them to bring items out of pickup range to their location.
