Method

A repeatable practical cycle

1
Set the catch-rate assumption

Use 75 to 150 catches/hr based on Fishing level rather than applying the maximum to every account.

2
Fish the shoreline spots

Move only when the current spot relocates.

3
Fill the barrel

Store fish before the inventory fills when using the barrel.

4
Bank nearby

Empty both inventory and barrel, restock Sandworms and return.

XP vs profit

What changes the tradeoff

About 9K to 18K Fishing XP/hr at 75 to 150 catches

Each catch gives 120 Fishing XP. Rada's blessing and Spirit flakes increase fish yield without granting XP for the bonus fish.
