A Fishing explosive is a Slayer item used for luring Mogres out of the water. They are often killed forflippers, after a player has completed the Mogre (miniquest). The explosives must be "used" on any of the three "Ominous Fishing Spots" on the peninsula of Mudskipper Point, located south of Port Sarim. Using a Fairy Ring, you can access Mudskipper by dialling: A-I-Q.

The explosives can be bought from any Slayer Master.

After completion of Kennith's Concerns, Super Fishing Explosive can be used, which deals 150 life points when a Mogre comes out of the water.

Trivia

• In the book Betrayal at Falador, it is revealed that fishing explosives are pieces of sodium metal contained in oil. Sodium, along with the other Alkali metals, is in fact known for its violent reactions with water.
• The examine info says "jar", while the mixture appears to be contained in a vial.
• Attempting to use a Fishing explosive within two squares of an Ominous Fishing Spot causes your player to dubiously state, "If this thing explodes, I think I should stand a liiiiitle further away..."
• They were used by Derril, an explorer of the Ancient Cavern. They were also used by Skippy.
