# Fishing
Aaaaaand relax, with a spot of fishing. Grab a pole or a net, find the perfect spot, and set up camp for the afternoon. For every fish that you catch you’ll gain a boost in EXP, and the higher the skill-level you obtain the easier it becomes to catch this delicious resource. As you master the fishing skill, new rods and fishing locations will unlock enabling you to catch rarer fish and cook that highly desirable dish.
To begin your fishing journey, chat with Pascal. Nobody knows much about Pascal due to his strange sleeping habits: whenever anyone starts a conversation with him, he begins dozing off! Despite all of this, he has a surprisingly vast knowledge of the sea's currents and the best fishing locations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.bitmates.io/gameplay/life-skills/fishing.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
