Fishing spots

The icon representing a fishing spot.

There are several different types of fishing spots in Old School RuneScape. The most common types are 'Net/Bait', 'Lure/Bait', 'Cage/Harpoon', and 'Net/Harpoon'. Most fishing spots take a minimum of 250 ticks (2.5 minutes) to move, and a maximum of 530 ticks (around 5 minutes). There are some exceptions: fishing spots for Karambwan, the big net spot in Civitas illa Fortis, and the Dark Crab spots in the Wilderness Resource Area never move, fishing spots for Sacred eel and Infernal eel move between 100 ticks (1 minute) and 300 ticks (3 minutes), and fishing spots for Anglerfish move between 8 ticks (5 seconds) and 830 ticks (8.3 minutes).

Trivia

• The fishing spots are treated as NPCs by the game engine, as evident by their text colour.
• When a fishing spot changes location, if clicked on as it changes, the player will run to the new location to start fishing. This is because the fishing spot moves to the new spot instantly, rather than disappearing and spawning a new fishing spot.
• Several inaccessible fishing spots can be seen at the Barbarian Outpost Agility Course and near the Chaos druids in Edgeville Dungeon. They are not treated as NPCs unlike other fishing spots.
