I been in your shoes. Back when i was skilling bonecraft, prices were pretty bad. So i skilled fishing to 30 ( Lol yea, 30), and tried to fish them up myself. It was a bit of a struggle at first, it took me a while to get use to their stamina, but if you got the fingers for it, you can snag them. I eventually skilled 30-60 off them lol when i was finished in the end. At First, I tried with composite rod, but that broke all the time. I later borrowed a lu shang's rod. I noticed that i could successfully snag gavial's and Titanticus fishies with it. So i fished them up myself. At 30.
I only tell you this, because you might be able to save a lot of gill, given your motivation level. It took me a solid couple of weeks of /emo fishing to get to 30. But the effort was rewarded IMO, because after i got bonecraft to 100, i turned it into a small business. At the time, i could make 1mil-2mil a day (but those times are long gone).
Anyways, just wanted to give you an alternative. :)
