Iv'e seen a couple of people getting interested in fishing again/for the first time so I thought I would post a guide to get your fisher from 1-50 as fast as possible so you can enjoy the new fishing content.
Because fishing gives so much more XP than Mining or Botany there isn't a big need to use leve's to level early on
Through the use of certain baits at strategic locations and upgrading your gear from a vendor every 5 levels (it's enough time to spirit bond the stuff you are wearing after about lvl 20) you can level your fisher from 1-50 in under 30 hours.
Iv'e added hyperlinks to most of the fishing spots and the baits need
1-5: Limsa lominsa. using the bait provided
5-10: Middle la Noscea. Nym river switching up to Crayfish Balls
10-20: Western la Noscea Brewers Beacon using goby balls until 15 where you switch to rat tails
20-27: Upper la Noscea. Oakwood Lake on the western side of the map using Crow Flys and Brass spoon lures
27-35: Western Thanalan. Moondrip(no map link but it's the little cave just off paratas peace X:17 Y:6) using chocobo fly here gives you grip killifish which are the best exp by far until dune fishing
35-40: Southern Thanalan. Sagoli Dunes using Sand leeches
40-45: Eastern Thanalan. The Burning wall using Stem borers until untill you can use Mythril spoon lure at 41
45-50: Either Cloud Fishing in Coerthas or Mor dhona North Silvertear this the first time you really need to use leve's cause the XP requirements for levels start to get silly, luckily silvertear is home to some great triple turn in's that will net you 90k a pop for HQ turn in's.In Mor Dhona use Glow worms and in Coerthas for Cloud fishing use hover worms.
Enjoy Fishing at 50 I hope you saved up all that materia you got from spiritbonding all that gear cause you are going to need it.
