I've been doing numbers, schill and burglary. Now those I enjoy. The fishing just isn't worth it. Nobody ever carries anything I really want (what the heck am I going to do with another 20 septims or a stupid dagger) and, as one poster pointed out, you're pick-pocketing friendlies! At least with the hostiles I can just kill 'em and then loot their bodies. Besides, the hostiles have the best stuff anyhow.
No pickpocketing those folks I can get behind! SCR** DA' MAN! I especially would like to clean out Siddgeir's pockets. I bet he's got some great (and illegal) stuff.I've been doing numbers, schill and burglary. Now those I enjoy. The fishing just isn't worth it.

The people they get you to pickpocket in those quests are generally not the richest, I've made plenty of money of pickpocketing, jarls, court wizards, nobles. It really is a good skill, if you don't like the skill tree then try out Skyre, also.
