    You are at a fishing spot to catch sharks, which takes level 76 fishing. Swordfish spots can be found in Catherby, Karamja, and the Fishing Guild. The Fishing Guild requires level 68.

Tips

  • When fishing at Musa Point, run to the southern part of the volcano and find a guy named Stiles. He will turn your tuna, lobsters, and swordfish into notes.

  • Members have the opportunity to train barbarian fishing, where they can earn an additional 10 strength experience for every swordfish they catch. To do this with swordfish, a player must have at least 50 strength and 70 fishing.
    Thanks
