Anyone know anything about this? i done my research, an it says to do it, but i know HOW to do it. Is it the sneak spell? and what is stamina?
 
Sneak fishing is just keeping the Sneak spell up at all times while you fish. If you accidentally pull up a monster, it doesn't aggro. You have plenty of time to move to another spot. It also keeps things like the Sea Horror from attacking you, as well as those scorpions in Den of Rancor.
 
Sneak fishing is simply casting sneak while you fish so that you can pull up monsters w/o getting aggroed, and in some cases, not get aggro by the surrounding mobs. Stamina fishing is knowing roughly what sort of fish/item is on your line by the way the rod moves and stamina drops. You know if you get a rusty bucket, the line almost never changes position - stays centered a lot and stamina drops very fast. Then you get on the ferry and catch presumably a very strong monster or a legendary fish and the rod whips left and right 2-3 times a second and you don't stand a chance. With a small margin of error, it's pretty easy to start knowing what's on your line before you ever reel it it. I'm currently fishing a trio of Cone Calamary, Noble Ladies and Bluetail, and Cone Calamary acts more like a rusty bucket, whilst Bluetail rocks the line quite a bit. Noble Ladies are somewhere in the middle but have high stamina. If I cared to, I could probably limit myself to one fish.
 
perhaps these topics you keep making about fishing should be in crafters corner? since this is technically a craft?
 
Technically a craft yes, but in spirit its an "activity", like gardening or mining,
only fishing has skill lvls. Anyways, I don't think it counts as a craft since you don't synth stuff to lvl up. But yeah this should go in the crafters corner...
