I've tried Salmon, didn't have any troubles with it. I tried ferry, bite rate was almost non-existant. The constant boarding and unboarding was annoying.

I stopped fishing Salmon because of the profit issue, gil is hard to come by for me and one of the reasons I choose Nebi's is because of the gil potential. I plan on getting Lu Shang's, and the gil earned by Nebi's will help me on my way to purchasing it.

In the long term it'd be better to earn gil the entire way so when I get to the point where I need Lu Shang's, I'll have it ready.
