Is there a point in leveling Fisher to 50?

I've read in a post that there are no new fish in higher grade waters. If that is true, what is the point? Why should anyone fish in grade 6 and above?

To level to 50 if you are not, and be prepared for future content.

Future content would have to wait. I have 15 other jobs to grind for Present content

Are you kidding? There are so much to do and never enough time to do them. Can you make the crap bow? Can you make the armor and jewelry to go with you mighty archer class? Can you make the scale glue for red coral arrows? Can you make the fletching? Is you archer 50? Does it have all the support skills? On and on and on and on.

nope, no point, even worse then botany and mining
atleast with botany and mining there was top items that got easier with the levels, all of the available fish are more then easy enough at R40

r30 you get star spangled subligar, after that I don't see much worth besides if you wanted to then level up cul or alc

When you reach 45 and grade 5 give you suck sp and then you want to move to higher grade ( 6 )
You'll find out that grade 6 fishing spots most of them have aggressive mob around and that can kill you with 1 shot =='
More worse.. when you fishing at grade 6 you'll get fish that likely you can fish at grade 1 or 2. ( it gave low lv fish only )

My point is.. it suck to lv FSH to 50 atm cuz there's no super-high lv fish yet.
Only high lv fish that worth fishing is in grade 4-5 only ( worth to break to crystal )
Also... there's CUL don't play big role in this game so it's no point to fishing much..
except you need it to make crystal/shard for other craft class.

As a rank 50 fisherman I will agree that any fishing spot over grade 6 has utterly useless fish; however, on the point of why to take the class to 50 is a simple answer. I make more gil with my fisherman than I do any other class, and because I'm rank 50 I can wear the better gear and boost my perception, gathering and output stats by quite a lot compared to the rank 30 gear. Which in turn means I catch more fish per cast, and get more bites and I don't need to fight the fish nearly as hard. Just because all the worthwhile fish are in lower rank pools, doesn't mean you shouldn't rank your fisherman up past that point.
