Whether casting lines in quiet lakes, hauling nets on the open sea, or spearfishing along rugged coasts, you have spent much of your life making a living from the water. The rhythm of the tides and the patience of the hunt have shaped you, teaching resilience, resourcefulness, and respect for nature. You know how to navigate shifting currents, predict the weather, and handle yourself in the unpredictable dangers of the waters.

Your days were spent hauling in the catch, mending nets, and reading the signs of the deep. Perhaps you fished to provide for your family or sold your haul at the docks to earn your keep. Maybe you worked as part of a crew, enduring long days and perilous nights on the open sea. No matter where you learned your craft, the lessons of the water stay with you.

Now, your journey takes you far from the familiar shores. Whether driven by duty, survival, or the promise of fortune, you carry the instincts of a seasoned fisher—always watching, always waiting, and always ready for the next big catch.
