Fishing is a skill which involves catching fish from selected spots around Gielinor. A higher Fishing level unlocks different methods of Fishing, unlocks higher level fish, and increases a player's catch rate. Raw fish may be cooked through the Cooking skill to create food which may be used later to regain Hitpoints during combat. Alternatively, many players sell their excess stock of catches for gold.
Fishing is one of the easier skills to begin training on PkHonor. To begin training fishing, you must purchase supplies from the Supplies Store Salesman located at ::shops. All of the tools you need can be purchased from the Supplies Store Salesman with the exception of feathers, Oily Fishing Rod, and Dark Fishing Bait. Feathers can be purchased from Crafting Store Salesman and Dark Fishing Bait is dropped by several Wilderness Bosses.

To fish karambwans, go to the south of Brimhaven and talk to Tiadeche. Raw karambwanji are obtained at the fishing spot south-east of Tai Bwo Wannai village or in Tiadeche's shop for 10K coins each.

Leveling Method 99-2b
The best methods to 2B experience…
I did 5 test runs for each of these methods to see how fast/slow they really are. It's not 100% accurate, but I'd like to think it's relatively close. Keep in mind that the EXP rates are if you are fishing 100% of the time(cook/bank time not taken into consideration).
| Fish | Amount needed | With brawlers | EXP/Second | With brawlers | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | Monkfish | 331,161 | 254,740 | 8,666.66 | 11,266.66 |
| | Manta ray | 220,774 | 169,827 | 4,500 | 5,850 |
| | Rocktail | 174,296 | 134,074 | 4,276.07 | 5,557.99 |
 | Dark Crab | 140,914 | 108,396 | 11,752 | 15,277 |
Monkfish are the fastest way to 2 billion experience, as you don't need to bank making them 2-3x faster than other methods. Update: Dark crabs are faster at the wilderness resource area, you can right-click note them at the npc in that area. If you also bring your cooking brawlers you can cook them on the fire next to the fishing spot, then trade your COOKED dark crabs for raw rocktails and cook those again. So you end up with noted rocktails and even more cooking xp. You can also bank the raw crabs and cook them later, proceed to trade the noted cooked crabs to the same npc for raw rocktails again. If you only note your raw crabs you can expect a fishing xp of 55m/hour.
When going for 2b xp it might be worth going after the Dragon harpoon, this item is a 1/1000 drop from level 99'wyrms'. The special attack of this equip-able harpoon gives you +3 fishing levels at the cost of 100% special attack. You can use the ring of vigour to save 10% spec or the ring of vigour (i) to save 15% spec. This way you can use the special attack more often giving you overall a longer boosted time. The extra fishing levels give you a slightly faster catching rate.
