Anyone tried fishing in the sewers? 4th floor of the damage buildings in the slags?
I just did, and after burning 20+ turns all i got is nothing
With that corpse gone, this area makes a pretty nice fishing spot, actually.
You cast your line and see what might bite in this strange mockery of a lake.
You found: freshwater eel
You found: partially digested fish
with active:
Slags Poisoning (1)
Red Alert (2)

and composite rod
sweet a new fish
Walking near the railing of the ship, you find a fantastic place to fish. It has a little notch for your fishing pole and everything.
Glancing around, you don't see any specters nearby, so you settle in for a few casts and see what you get.

Must NOT have the high test effect active in order to get the fishing pole? I keep getting high test fishing lines instead of a new fishing pole, until I ran out of the high test effect. Sigh, and I'm out of cups of Joe as well.
Fishing isn't worth it in a speedrun without an unearthly coin flip. As a beginning fisher with an old composite rod, I spent 8 energy on the docks to get 3 fishing encounters. The third finally got me a lake bluegill, which I used another energy to craft into a sushi that gave me 5 energy. Net energy gain: -4.
Subsequent attempts got me a net energy gain of +2 and -2. Bah.

DerMagus, are you positive that you got the special fishing encounter in the Docks from the thermos of joe multiple times? It's been my experience that I get that adventure shortly after handing over the thermos, and only then, but can do that multiple times per day. Today I handed over a thermos, immediately got the special adventure, and then spent around 100 energy in the Docks with nothing but regular and high test fishing encounters.
I spend the last few weeks resetting and got 1 giant pike per day at most (along with the occasional bluegill or tin can). Today I didn't reset so I was using my new pole (+2) fishing instead of my old pole (+0) to hunt for giant pike - I got 2 giant pike and an old composite rod. I'm certain I've never ever seen this before on a speed run so +fishing definitely increases the quality of drops.
Sigh, tried to test fishing drops but forgot to check my fishing skill for a couple levels and it increased. This is the second time I've done this, so I'm going to pass on this spading effort unless someone awesome wants to come up with a greasemonkey script that alerts you when your fishing skill increases.
