How to Achieve 99 Fishing in RuneScape

Getting level 99 fishing is one of the longest objectives to do, but it is also a rewarding one because it’s a good way to get coins. Reading this article could help you become level 99 in fishing on Runescape.

Non-members Method
Stock up on supplies. You will need 2 small nets, 2 fishing rods, 2 fly fishing rods, fishing bait, feathers, a harpoon, and a lobster cage, you can buy these supplies and more from Port Sarim. Although this sounds like a lot of coins, it is not that expensive.
Fish 40 shrimps. You can find them south of Lumbridge. Shrimps are good because you don’t have to worry about bait or feathers yet because you only need a small net. Continue doing this until your fishing is level 5.
Fish 40 sardines. You can find these fish where you found the shrimps. Now you will be using your fishing rod and fish bait. Do this until your fishing level is 10.
Fish some herrings. Fish in the same area. You will still need your fishing rod and bait. You will still continue to catch sardines at the same time. Continue this until your fishing is level 15.
Fish some anchovies. Get your small fishing net and fish in the same area you were already fishing in. You will catch shrimps when you fish these. Fish these until your fishing level is 20.
Fish 68 trouts. This time you get to go to a different place. Go to Lumbridge River and fish there. You will also use the fly fishing rod and your feathers to catch the fish. Fish for trouts until you fishing level is 25.
Fish 93 pikes. You will still be in Lumbridge River, but you will go back to using your fishing rod and bait. Keep getting the pikes until your fishing level is 30.
Fish some salmon. Don’t be to jumpy to move to another place because you will still be fishing in Lumbridge River. However, you will be using your fly fishing rod and feathers. When fishing salmon, you will also be catching trout at the same time. Do this until your fishing is level 35
Harpoon 186 tuna. This time you will move to a different location; but you will need a lot of money because it takes 60 coins to go to Karamja and back. Also, you won’t need any bait anymore! All you need is a harpoon. Harpoon the the tuna until your fishing is level 40.
Cage 714 lobsters. Now you can start making money off of these types of fish. You will stay on Karamja Dock, but you will be using a lobster cage. Cage these until your fishing is level 50.
Methods such as lobsters, sharks, swordfish are very slow methods to 99. The fastest way (proven) is to complete the Swan Song quest. This enables you to fish monkfish. Monkfish are faster than lobsters and sharks, heal 16, and give more EXP than any other fish in the game. Another alternative, which is commonly used by nonmembers is to fly-fish from the earliest moment possible to the moment you reach level 99. It is one of the fastest ways to gain experience.
You may want an iPod, MP3 player, or music on your computer because fishing can get boring at times.
Another way to fight boredom is to chat with the other people who are fishing near you.
If you want to make more money while fishing, sell the fish raw. Raw fish often sell for higher than cooked fish.
You shouldn’t have any items that you don’t need when you fish. You’ll need to go to the bank/cook more often
Join a clan; RuneScape has recently added a clan chat feature, and there are surely other people as bored as you that may wish to chat.
Multitask while doing this. For example, play another game, or do homework.
Check your character often. You don’t want to be killed or teleported by a random event stay where you are when the fishing spot moves, or stay there with a full inventory.
Watch for whirlpools and big fish. They’ll snatch your equipment.
If you have done Shilo Village Quest, then fish there until you want to fish for something higher; you can also lvl 4-5 levels per day, which makes it the perfect place to fish for levels.
