Fishing Nelayan
Four kinds of spot, from the mackerel in the reef shallows to the tuna off the end of the Kuala Besut jetty.
Fishing spots
Fish show as moving rings on the water, each kind its own colour. Click a ring to fish it from the shore or the jetty. Spots never run out.
| Spot | Fishing | Attempt (ticks) | Catch | XP | Where |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fishing spot Net | 1 | 5 · 3 s | Raw mackerel Ikan kembung | 10 | 14 on Perhentian, 6 in Kuala Besut |
| Squid spot Jig | 5 | 6 · 3.6 s | Raw squid Sotong | 38 | 4 on Perhentian |
| Prawn spot Trap | 8 | 6 · 3.6 s | Raw prawn Udang galah | 52 | 5 in Kuala Besut |
| Tuna spot Hand-line | 12 | 7 · 4.2 s | Raw tuna Ikan tongkol | 70 | 3 in Kuala Besut |
The second line under each spot is the word the game uses for the action. The mackerel ring is the one the game simply calls a fishing spot.

Mak Long Esah's lesson
Find Mak Long Esah on the beach by the reef. Net five fish of any kind and she shows you how to throw: every fishing attempt is one tick faster from then on, and you get 150 Fishing XP.
Look at that. Now: throw from the hip, not the shoulder, and let the net open by itself.Mak Long Esah
What to do with the catch
Cook it (Cooking), eat it, or sell it to Kak Yah, raw or grilled (grilled pays more). Mackerel are the quest fish: Guru wants two cooked before he will teach you to fight.
Each spot will need its gear
With tools, a ring on the water is not enough. Mackerel need a cast net, squid a jig, prawns a trap, and tuna a hand-line. Mak Long Esah lends you your first net. Nets, jigs, traps and lines has all of it, including prawn traps you leave in the river and tuna that want a mackerel for bait.
