Fastest Way to Level Up Fishing

Guide
This is a very simple [[Fishing]] guide and the ETA is around 2-3 hours to level 10 (from level 1) and assumes that you know the basics on how to fish.
Stay in [[The Vesperpool - East Bank|Vesperpool - East Bank]], for 2-3 hours, tallying [[EXP]] up every 2 in game days (then every 1 day when you get to level 8-9)
That's pretty much it, but for something more in depth, see below.
==Guide==
First thing to do is to go to [[The Vesperpool - East Bank|Vesperpool]] (the very north of the map)
I need to talk about the haven there: Every time you stay there, you will get a really long conversation with [[Gladio]] about a Fishing tour. DO NOT accept the quest. To complete the tour, you ideally need to be level 10 and have a rod from [[Altissia]]. Because of this, if you need to save, do it manually and only go to the haven to tally up EXP.
Where the parking spot is, take the Right path and follow it til you get to [[Bert's Bobbers 'n' Stuff]]. There is a fishing spot here called Vesperpool East Bank. We will be staying here for a while.
 
[[Lotus Bluegill]] are fish with blue dot on the mini map.
==What to Buy==
==Misc Notes==
*Use the [[Stinker: Malboro]] [[Lures]]
*The [[Lotus Bluegill]] is actually pretty rare, but count your blessings when you get one as even at level 9 is worth about 10% of that levels entire [[SP]].
*Good fish to be catching are [[Phoenix Bass]], [[Crag Barramundi]], [[Golden Catfish]].
*If you get a fish that is taking a long time to reel in, just let your line snap, even if you do catch a hard fish, the time/SP ratio probably isn't worth it (avoid dots with a ring around them)
*Ignore [[Gladio]] and [[Ignis]]'s chatter.
*Throw your line at the small dots (we want quantity)
*Buy more [[Lures]] as needed.
*You can reset a fishing spot by quitting the fishing game, then pressing X to fish again
*Re-spool your line at about 300 durability (your party will nag you for using it <1000 but ignore them) or you can just use it till it snaps.
