At level 76 Fishing players can start catching Raw sharks. Only an average of 90 sharks can be caught per hour at lower levels, yielding 64,620; whereas upwards of 170 can be caught at much higher levels, yielding 122,060.

The best place to catch sharks is on the docks at the Fishing Guild, as you will have an invisible +7 Fishing level boost while inside the guild. There is also a bank nearby to store your sharks. It is recommended to use a Dragon harpoon as it gives the player a 20% faster catch rate compared to the regular harpoon; or if you have completed Song of the Elves you can use a Crystal harpoon which has an increased catch rate of 32.5%. Additionally, equipping any Rada's blessing will provide a 2%, 4%, 6%, or 8% chance to catch two sharks at once respectively. Spirit flakes held in your inventory also give a 50% chance to catch two sharks at the cost of one flake per fish caught; this effect does stack with the Rada's blessing. However both the Rada's blessing and Spirit flakes will yield no additional experience for any extra sharks caught.

This money making method is great for acquiring raw sharks while also being a relatively AFK activity, as opposed to trading them for minnows which is more click-intensive.
