Fishing snippet offers a simple but expandible form of entertainment for players that also provides them with a food source that can be sold. If your mud uses cooking to cook raw meats, make sure to make the fishcatch object with a raw flag.

Players have to have a fishing pole and hold it to fish. They also need to have bait in their inv. They must be standing in a room of sector type WATER_SWIM or WATER_NOSWIM (adjust to fit your code) to fish.

You will need to create the following:
Skills:
fish
Object Types:
pole
bait
Specific Objects:
fishcatch - declared in your game as a specific vnum
