Fishing bot

From the Dark RuneScape Wiki - follow the rules, or else!

A fishing bot harpooning for sharks.

Fishing bots are players or gold farmers that use third party software to automatically fish for them in order to get either a high fishing level and profit, usually the latter. These players hang out often in Catherby and the fishing guild when found in members, and Karamja and Draynor Village in free worlds (the bots in Karamja will bank their fish in Draynor Village via the boat in Port Sarim). Most bots fish lobsters and sharks, which they sell for coins, and then sell the coins for real world cash in direct violation of Rule 12. Although most fishing bots sell their collected fish raw, some of them have also been known to cook their collected fish, though this is somewhat rare.

Fishing bots are extremely rare due to the December 10, 2007 update. They usually have either a randomized or the default look, and will often have random or Asian names (since Jagex claims that bots are normally operated by sweatshop workers in East Asian countries). On F2P worlds, they are usually level 3-10. On members worlds, they are usually up to 30 combat, though occasionally higher. If you think one of these players is creating unfair profit for themselves and you have evidence, report them under Rule 7 and Jagex will investigate.
