Requirements

Hard requirements
35 Hunter
Minimum Hunter level for the activity.
Empty weapon, shield and hand slots
Required to receive and use Alry's cormorant.
Fish offcuts or bait unlock
One bait is used every three to four catches until the 20-Molch-pearl consumption unlock is purchased.
Recommended
High Fishing and Hunter
Improves catch success, XP and Molch pearl chance.
Closest-spot priority
Fishing spots within two tiles resolve faster than distant spots.
Frenzied spot priority
A frenzied spot repeatedly catches every three ticks until depleted.
Fish offcuts
Buying bait is generally faster than cutting caught fish during the session.
Small market test
Shark lure demand and pearl conversion determine whether the method is meaningfully profitable.
Location and access

Travel to Lake Molch and take Boaty from one of the three shore docks to the central island.

Method
A repeatable practical cycle
Obtain the cormorant
Speak to Alry with the weapon, shield and hand slots clear.
Prioritize close spots
Send the bird to the nearest fishing spots and avoid targets more than five tiles away when closer options exist.
Use frenzied spots
Switch immediately to a frenzied spot unless a very close normal target is faster.
Manage bait
Restock fish offcuts or buy the 20-pearl no-bait unlock when it fits the account.
Convert pearls
Buy Shark lure packs and check the real sale price before valuing the session.
XP vs profit
What changes the tradeoff
Fishing and Hunter XP vary by both levels and catch mix
Aerial Fishing is primarily active dual-skill training. Pearl chance rises with Fishing and Hunter levels, so the 99/99 Shark lure rate should not be used as a universal GP result.
Profitability
Wiki reference plus your assumptions
Expected profit depends on market prices, pace and the Wiki method assumptions.
