Fish Flingers

Fish Flingers is a Distraction and Diversion added to RuneScape on 23rd of March, 2010. It is currently only for Members. It features the Fishing skill. There are no requirements to play Fish Flingers, apart from the fact that you must be a member.

Introduction
To the north of the Fishing Guild is a peaceful island named Isla Anglerine, to which many species of rare fish flock. Why they do is unknown, but it makes the island a paradise for budding fishermen. Discovering this, representatives of the Fishing Guild have arranged for regular fishing competitions to be held there, in which those with a love of angling can prove their skill in a race to land the most and the heaviest catches.

Requirements
There are no requirements to enter a Fish Flingers competition, so long as you have a competition entry ticket. Everyone gets ten entry tickets per week, but more can sometimes be found during a competition.

Where to start Fish Flingers: Talk to the fishermen who regularly appear on Catherby's beach, and both inside and outside of the Fishing Guild.

A competition is run every 90 minutes and you have 5 minutes to enter the waiting room on Isla Anglerine. That means that if you are late, you will have to wait at least 85 minutes to enter a new contest. In addition, you can participate in a maximum of 10 competitions a week.

Rewards
You can obtain fishing tackle box (of which there are different levels) or an amount of raw fish from the Fisherman's Wife. You automatically gain some Fishing experience after the competition is over.

Medals are given to the players who catch the most fish, the heaviest fish, the most weight, 2 others.
 * A tacke box is used to store fishing equipment (rod, harpoon, etc.), fishing bait (fishing bait, feather, etc.) and other items (FoG Fishing gloves, cooking gauntlets, etc.)

Trivia

 * The name of the D&D is a pun by Jagex on the words 'fish fingers' (a type of food.).
 * In the Knowledge Base, a caption for one of the pictures is "I'm gonna catch you little fishy." This is a reference to "I'm gonna eat you little fishy", said by The Cat on Red Dwarf.
 * On the day of this D&D's release, some players were unable to see what they were saying in clanchats. This has yet to be fixed.
