The Fishing Job

The Fishing Job is a radiant quest given by Delvin Mallory in the Ragged Flagon as extra work for the Thieves Guild. Fishing jobs consist of using the Pickpocket skill to steal a valuable, unique item from a random character. Fishing jobs can be declined at any time by talking to Delvin Mallory again. There is no penalty for declining or rejecting these jobs.

Doing enough additional jobs such as the fishing job in a hold unlocks the city influence quest in that hold.

Trivia

 * When Delvin ask that a gem, or piece of jewelry be pickpocketed, it can be replaced in order to keep the stolen one. Have an identical item in the inventory (it does not matter if tagged as stolen) when talking to Delvin to finish the mission. He will take the un-named "x" item leaving the named one. These can be of some use when enchanting rings or necklaces to avoid having to name them so they can be easily identified in the inventory.
 * Heimskr may be assigned as a target, this could be a problem if he died in the Battle for Whiterun as part of the Civil War, which almost always happens. It's possible that it's on his corpse in the Hall of the Dead, but this has not been confirmed.
 * Brand-Shei may be a target, which is also a problem considering he is put in prison when the quest to join the Thieves Guild is completed, so he may be hard to get to. Unless, of course, the necklace is dropped at the start of the Thieves Guild storyline, which would still allow the quests to continue.
 * Any named jewel acquired during one of these missions, such as Lygrleid's ruby can be used in crafting jewelry. The jewel's identity and stolen flag are lost.

Bugs

 * Occasionally the item requested by Delvin is not on the person. Try saving the game and reloading.
 * Some fishing jobs may require stealing an item that has 0% chance for removal, which in turn will have the quest automatically fail. The only solutions for progress is to reverse pickpocket a paralysis poison with the Poisoned perk and steal it while they're on the ground, or give up the quest for something new.
 * If Nurelion is the target and the White Phial quest has been completed, a message saying "Nurelion is asleep and dying" comes up when trying to interact with him, thus making it impossible to pickpocket him. On PC a solution is to use the console and type "setstage TGRGF 50"
