HUH
I was curious as to what this wet sack would do for me, to my surprise it was 2 grain solvents. WEIRD
Is this an occasional normal thing? Getting crafting materials for something other than Provisions?

Its a fairly common thing, find a wet gunny sack with some crafting materials inside. Usually nothing spectacular but sometimes something good.

well good to know, I'll have to fish more often I guess.

There are 4 water types, and 4 main baits in the game. If you use the correct bait for the water you are at, then you will always get a fish. If you use the wrong bait, then you get a varying chance of a fish or used bait. I think there is a secondary bait that gives a better chance than the others to get fish. But, for best results, use the correct bait for the water you are at.

Now, you can also catch bait items, like Roe (not perfect) or Minnows etc. This is also bait that can give 100% chance for a fish/sack if used at the correct fishing spot. Note, the bait you get at one water type is never used at that fishing hole, it will be used at a different water type.

All this information can be found in the Guide to Fishing in Tamriel that should be part of your Eidetic Memory.

and once you follow that guide for bait your fishing catch will go up a whole bunch.

Once I found a guitar in one

Always use those soggy sacks.I've gotten some nice items out of them.Also,if you dont want your guts,etc,keep them until you get a stack of say 200.Then sell them in your guild store for quite a tidy sum.Same fort insect parts,like Butterflies.

Especially the worms
Us keen fishers can never get enough worms
Also like Jimboo84 I've got Kuta out of a gunny sack. I wouldn't rely on it though. I've gotten a lot of Ta as well.
