Fishing is surprisingly fun!

I'm always somewhat a bit sad when I read that new players level Fisher solely through Ocean Fishing. I for myself always found it interesting to go on the maps and explore all the possible fishing spots and fish a few times to get some new fishes in every spot. That way I got to see a lot of different fishes. The XP weren't that bad either I think. And every new fish gives some bonus XP. I don't know though if they changed something on the XP for huge fishes (formerly HQ), that also gave 3 or 4 times as much XP.

Actually, I spent plenty of time leveling it through other avenues as well; while I do admit, I really did power-level it through Ocean Fishing so I could get the EW Beast Tribe unlocked, I also spent plenty of time doing the quests, as well as just running around to random spots and just fishing for whatever. It's actually really cathartic, funnily enough; there's something that I really just kinda enjoy about wandering around, sitting down and engaging in a small mini-game while taking in the sights.

Welcome to one of the best parts of the game!

I agree. I've had a very satisfying week, checking off a number of fish and completing some spots.
