I mentioned this back in Oct '08 before I found out I would be leaving WL for a time. I would like to start this again but I only plan to spend the time to post it if I know it can be added as a searchable category in advanced search for items.
If it can be added I would program a remote to fish for 6 hours then respawn and post the results. I would start this with 1 Character and post each nights results with Current Character lvl, Skill lvl ( Start and Finish), and the Items w/ Quantity and Rank, as well as the Rod used.
A few things I know you can get that will make this worth it: Steel All metal Materials/plates/sands ( gold, silver, and white silvery are previously untested ) All Ores ( Including silver, white silvery, and gold ) Dye All Woods and Grasses Many skins, furs, bones, claws, flowers, leaves, gems, and rocks.
I will start with 47 available spaces and nothing being discarded. Considering 47 spaces tends to fill in 2 hours ( give or take ) I will be sure to list quantities and we can perhaps have a rarity system as well.

P.S. I do believe that no matter your skill level or rod type you can not get items with a rank higher than 10. But as a true researcher (slacker/addict) I will test them anyways.
P.S.S. As a side note I will also be randomly compounding with a hyper cam going so that I can add findings to the compound database :)
I hid the OP so that it would still be here. Thats what that spoiler is. I have decided to do this regardless of a decision to make it a searchable category since it will still help many of you. So here it goes.
Knowns and Unknowns:
Known: There are Three available Fishing Tools each with different capabilities; Simple, Great, and Luxury.
Known: The Rod you use and your Fishing Skill level effect what you can/will find.
Assumed: The Highest item you can fish for is Rank 10
^^^^ Wrong!!! I have previously found Gold Ore (rank 11)
Unknown: The max proficiency for Primary Fishing
Unknown: Does location effect what you can/will find
Partial Unknown: What items can be found by Fishing

Goals:
- Solve the Unknowns.
- Convince Scott to make Fishing a searchable / filter for the database.

If anyone can think of something that should be added please post it here and I will credit that to you and it to this post.
