Reasons To Fish:
It is the only current way to win at UO. But really it is mostly for odd people to do, but there are some pretty interesting things to get from fishing.

Special Fish Net Notes:
These things can make for some fun times if you save up enough of them. These things can seem like junk, but you can have a VERY small chance at finding special coloured ones that sell for quite a bit of cash to other players. If your up for having fun with them though you can go out on your boat and toss the net into the ocean to spawn some basic water creatures to kill, that also have a good chance to drop more fishing loot.
Big Fish Notes:
These things can be cut into fish steaks, with the given amount relating to the weight of the fish. Oh yes there are different sizes of these big guys. When you fish these up they will generally have a weight assigned to them as well as the name of the character that pulled it in, if not then you caught a small one under 20 stones. They can be used with a taxidermy kit to create a fish trophy as well. The maximum weight for these is 200 stones.
Message in a Bottle Notes:
These things are what fishing is about. Open these up to reveal the special SoS message or if your lucky an Ancient SoS message.
Waterstained SoS Notes:
A skill level of 65 Fishing is required to fish these up. Read the message then head to that location and start fishing. You get a chance at some shipwreck items, water creatures, spawning and then finally the shipwrecks chest full of goodies, including reagents, gold, scrolls, weapons and armor.
Ancient SoS Notes:
A skill level of 65 Fishing is required to fish these up. These are basically the exact same as the normal SoS except the chest you recieve has much better loot and also you will get a Fabled Fishing Net as well.
Fabled Fishing Net Notes:
This is much like the normal Fish net but not at all. It is pretty and special and alot of people will not want to risk parting with it. If you do however toss this net beware of what you do. This net spawns the Nastiest of all water creatures the Leviathan. The Leviathan is a really nasty guy that upon killing has a chance of rewarding the killers and the Fisher that tossed the net Minor Artifacts, some of which can only be obtained this way.
