Well.. practice is... practice, what else? You'll be having a go at fishing. Find a fishing dock, and use the fishing tools to catch a fish.
First, let me give you the fishing tools I told you about. Your goal is to catch 5 practice fish using the fishing rod. Do that, and you're no longer a novice fisher.
Oh, remember that practice fish can only be caught using the practice bait I'll be giving you. It isn't worth much, but you'll catch them faster than normal fish, and that makes them perfect for practice!
Good luck to you, then!
