Well, one of the ways for money making is through the fishing in Runescape, which allows you to fish for food which you can sell to other players or use for your own consumption while you train. Fishing are one of the easiest way for make a good profit training it along Cooking because a lot of players needs food for theirs trips to dangerous places like the Goda wars Dungeon, Tzhaar Figth Pits or the Bounty Hunter

High levels, high benefits but all need to start low and fishing aren't the exception, for the start players should catch Crayfish a fish which are caught fairly often, more than shrimps. Some players starts Fires near the river and in there players can train cooking too. Depending on the player cooking level sometimes they will burn the crayfish. As they aren't really expensive and the players do not buy it this, so don't care.

As the bank and the shop are near the Chapel (behind it is the crayfish spot) you can easily bank it, sell it, eat it or drop it.

Players should decide if they change to sardine in level 5, change to herring in level 10, both fishes which needs a fishing rod and fishing bait to be caugth. This and more fishing items can be bought at Gerrant's Shop on Port Sarim. Players should buy too a Fly-fishing rod and feathers (can be also collected as a loot of the chickens) for his next step, trout and the fly-fishing. Both fishes plus anchovies and shrimps can be caught near the Lumbridge swamp at the south east of Lumbridge itself. if you want keep training cooking as many of this fish are still worthless

Anchovies are not advised to be caught because most of the times players will only receive shrimps which are same to crayfish.

At level 20 players should change their spot to Barbarian Village and start fly fishing, fly-fishing are one of the fastest method of training fishing and gives a good profit if the fish are sold raw (is a common misconception that cooked fish worth more, since the introduction of the grand exchange, cooked fish drops their prices.)

Take all your fish to the bank of Edgeville (north of the spot) and store it (you decide cooked or not) when you need feathers go to the grand exchange and buy some. Keep doing this until level 40, the next step and a step really profitable lobster.

It's recommendable to do before this step the Lumbridge/Draynor achievement diary because the reward (Explorer's Ring) higly reduces times. When you were ready buy a Lobster Cage at Gerrant's and sail to Karamja (next to Gerrant's shop is the ship which travel to Karamja.)

The lobster spot is in the north of the Banana Plantation; it's fairly slower than Fly-Fishing but gives a good profit. When you were ready use the Teleport to the Cabbage port, bank and Draynor and do all again. Remeber tghat the fee to Karamja worth 30gp.  Normally you can get from 45k to 100k an hour depending on the speed of your catch.

You can either change on level 50 to swordfish which worth more but are slower and usually Tunas appear instead Swordfish: players also needs an Harpoon to catch these. At level 65 players can also wears Swordfish Gloves which increases in 100 the experience of swordfish. Also on level 62 members can caught Monkfish after do the "Swan Song" quest which worth a lot too.

Enjoy your fishing!
