All About Fishing

Edico:
I'm starting this topic in hopes people will share anything they've experienced in game with fishing, and for people to ask any questions. 

On my characters I like to fish without rods or nets, and it seems like regardless of using spear or club type weapons you pretty much only catch pike unless you're in a rapids or deep sea tile.  I've caught burbot in deep sea and rapids, and salmon and burbot in rapids.  Anyone else share the same experience?

Also, the wiki says that spears are superior to clubs for fishing, I'm not sure I've experienced this to be true.  Early game I tend to just use a rock and it seems to work just as well as a javelin?  Does the type of spear or club matter?  Does attack bonus or anything play a part?  I'm assuming better quality is good.  Can using a different type of spear or club result in different fish caught?

Privateer:
While I worked on a primitive fishing gorge mod for the game, I had the opportunity to ask Sami some questions.

Fishing rods and nets "can" target multiple fish of varied size.
Rocks (clubs), spears/javalins and (maybe) trident all target a single large fish.

tedomedo:
Fishing in rapids gives big fishes. So it's good to build your house by rapids. Rapids never freeze, so you don't have to worry that a njerpez will "visit" you in winter. The best scenario for never being hungry is "I want to be a fisherman".   Fishing skill needs will, dexterity and touch attributes.

Tedomedo- heh, I chose that 'Fisherman' as an Islander. My skills were so awful that it took over a day just to build a shelter, I didn't have a ranged weapon and had not the skill or tools to make a javelin from a staff. It was a bad one.

tedomedo:
Tom, did you have good attributes for fishing? I saw in my excel file that Islander is one of the best cultures for fishing if all attributes values are (almost) maximal.
