It means they tried to. They went fishing. We don't know whether they caught any. Look up the verb "fish."


"Her brothers climbed trees and fished."

From Oxford Discover Grammar by Helen Casey.
Now you know!

"Climbed" has a B.

Book titles are in italics, not quotation marks. Is it really called Oxford Discover Grammar?

The book is BY Helen Casey.

If you quote words from a piece in your question, make sure you quote them exactly. (emsr2d2)
 
Other meanings of fish would be very strange to me in this sentence.
