Fishing Skill
Once you catch a fish, it is automatically logged in your journal with weight and length. Fishing can help keep food on the table for less and a Sim with good cooking skills can do much with a fresh caught fish. Each fish has a favorite type of Bait. You can learn what fish like which bait by experimenting with different types of Bait. Obviously as your Skill increases, so will the quality of your catch.
Fish bait can be purchased at the grocery store or grown at home. Some fish need to be caught first in order to use as bait for bigger fish. The higher the quality of the bait, the larger the caught fish will be. Once caught, fish can be used in cooking meals, as plant fertilizer, as bait or better still given a name and kept in a fishbowl at home! You can also mail your fish off to be mounted on a board so that you can hang it in your home. It will come back by return mail the next day.
For a detailed list of all of the fish, what they look like in bowls and on the wall as well what you need to catch them, check out the Fish Guide.
