Underwater Fishing

Underwater Fishing is a fishing game found in an underwater cave in Old Maraqua. These caves give a users Neopet a chance to fish for an item. The item caught is random, but as a pet's fishing skill increases new items become available. Fishing skill is increased at random when a Neopet successfully fishes for any item. The higher the fishing skill, the more likely a valuable item will be received.

A Neopet can check to see if they have something on their fishing line at any time, but receiving a prize is a timed event, and if not enough time has passed since the last visit, nothing is awarded. It's believed users should check back once every 2-12 hours depending on their Neopets fishing skill.

Fishing skill can also be raised by having a Neopet read the book Fishing Made Easy. This increases fishing skill by 1-3, and just like real books can only be read once to a Neopet. The book is a prize while fishing and it is currently believed a minimum fishing skill 20 is needed to be caught.

Trivia

• Users can receive the Fishing - Titanic Squid Avatar when their Neopets fishing skill is at least 80 and catch a Titanic Giant Squid.
• Users at fishing level 40 and over could catch a book called "waterlogged book". Though it was always classified as a book item, neopets could not decipher the runny text until August 10th, 2005.
