There are many things
to do in Second Life and apparently one of those things is fishing. Yes
fishing, complete with rods, fishing line, boats, and of course fish!
A really
good friend of mine, John, is a fisher in Second Life and he took the time to
explain to me the various types of fishing systems from both a fisher and land
owner standpoint.
We were standing in
the 7Seas Area on Tribute City, which definitely did not smell “fishy”. As John explained, “Fishing in Second Life is
very similar to real life fishing, without having to actually clean the fish.
There are many systems available. 7Seas, Neo Realms, Fish Hunt, Magic Fishing,
and Star Fishing are the most well-known fishing systems. There is also
Evo-Fishing, which I really don’t know much about”.
“Each fishing systems
have their own ups and downs”, John continued. “I have fished them all. My
personal favorite is Fish Hunt, but I really enjoy hosting 7Seas and
Neo-Realms”. We teleported down to the main area of Tribute City, which is
fishing central. I noticed buoys, vendors, and what looked like bait barrels.
