Is it normal - while fishing in Selbina with a Clothespole and Little Worms - to get a LOT of "You didn't catch anything."?

I'm 3/18 attempts.

I've only just started leveling the skill, but that seems like a lot of nothings..

I know there's a very small chance anyone will want to give away their money-making secrets, but it's worth a shot... Would anyone be willing to post a guide about "Fishing for Profit"? Or at least decent tips to start making a profit (without giving too much away, if you prefer).

In addition, do most profitable spots in retail transpose to Nasomi?

Just do it in Yhoat. It's better. There's a tunnel dead-end NW of the crystal that you can fish in, without aggro.

I can say since I hit level 5 and started isolating fish solely for skillups, I've averaged a level every 60-90mins of fishing(YMMV).

I just started fishing the other day on my alt and have been using a sabiki rig in selbina and I can catch everything that bites and something bites almost every single time. aside from the fact that the fish wont even pay for the rigs I've lost by mistakenly cancelling my fishing, it's been great. Hopefully fishing actually produces a reasonable income at some point. I fished for a good 20-30 minutes straight with no skill ups but then got .9 worth of skillups over 4 or 5 successive casts, which was exciting. I had spent hours in Bastok in the past on my main fishing and still never even hit 1.0 skill on him.

Yeah - We've kinda been telling folks to use worms because of cost. I, too, used Sabiki Rig and found that it wasn't that bad.

you want to target as many possible fish that you can skill you up on at a time with no fish you cannot catch also took me 60-90 minutes a level pretty much the entire way, full/new moon seemed better and 50% horrible

Or pick a carp route where you can skill up while also getting moat carp to sell if you aren't going for a Lu's. Mix and match where it makes sense for you, especially when you're trying to balance fish that only (mostly) give skillups.

If you want to fish for gil, don't fish anything except for Moat Carp from 5-11.
