Glistening shoals are a type of mixed shoal requiring level 76 Fishing to fish from, which have a 10% chance to spawn in place of a yellowfin shoal or halibut shoal whilst deep sea trawling. Like the aforementioned shoals, glistening shoals swim at shallow and moderate depths, and as such must be caught with a linen trawling net or greater to consistently catch them.

Glistening shoals will appear once a shoal begins moving again, and will last for two stops before reverting back to the original shoal. Their movements and stop timer are also identical to the original shoal.

Glistening shoals have better chances for a successful catch, and will also yield raw bluefin and marlin in addition to raw yellowfin and halibut.

A glistening shoal can be spotted by the sight of bluefin swimming around.

Fishing info

Catch chance

A roll for a successful catch is performed every 3 ticks (1.8s), indicated by the small amount of Sailing experience granted whenever this occurs. This can be increased to every 2 ticks (1.2s) by clicking the trawling net every tick. For crewmates, a roll is performed every 5 ticks (3s), giving a flat 4% chance of a successful catch.

If rod fishing, a roll is performed every 5 ticks (3s) - the same as regular fishing.

The following success rates are provided by Jagex.
