### Fishing

Upgrade your fishing experience with specialized gear and tools. The **Fisherman** sells rods, lures, and the **Fish Finder**, which allows you to scan nearby waters and see what species are swimming below the surface. Keep your bait and hooks organized in your **Fishing Bag**, accessible anytime with <mark style="color:$primary;">`/fishingbag`</mark>, and track every fish you’ve caught in your **Fish Codex**, available at the Fisherman.

Caught something impressive? Display your fish as trophies on your wall or sell them to the Fisherman for profit.
