Must a ship touch or face a fish shoal to catch fish, and when can you roll for fish?

Several experienced players in the threads agree; there is no official ruling.

One end of your ship must point at the fish shoal hex, or the ship can sit on a sea route directly next to it. A fish roll is made once per turn, before ships move, and no ship needs to touch a fish hex to make it, though it is best to roll only when you have a real chance to catch fish.
