Summoning is a gift so many people neglect, WHY?
I have tried and failed to enjoy fishing, I do not like it one bit but I will need to get 99 one day so I train every now and then for a change and to get a bit of XP, I am level 87 at the moment getting most of my levels fishing for food, I buy food now I have a lot of spare cash so need to make a determined effort to train it with little motivation.
I went to fish some sharks in the guild and after a while I went to the Piscatorious fishing colony, at both places I was amazed that no one was using a familiar to help them fish, there were people there after level 99 and not using a familiar such as the Granite Crab, Ibis and the Granite Lobster, why???
I can not see unless their a pure skiller why anyone would not be using at least a granite crab all the time, the fishing familiars offer a fishing level boost from 1 for the crab to 4 for the lobster, not only does the level boost increase the speed you catch fish and therefore increasing the XP you get per hour but they collect fish for you that you can sell and you also get xp when they catch a fish, even if you don't want the extra xp its got to be worth it for the extra money they bring in as the cost of the fish they catch more than covers the cost of the summoning pouch, people have the chance of recovering the cost of summoning and making a skill xp increase quicker but for some reason prefer to have an over grown hell cat.
When I turned up with my lobster most people went off and came back with a follower, penguins, Spirit Kyatt (Why do they want a hunting level increase when fishing) and hell cats etc, only one player went off and came back with an Ibis.
Enjoy this picture of me washing my chest wig with 2 familiars watching me, mine is the lobster.
Summoning started out carp, Jagex made it great and people are refusing to take advantage of its power.
Many people use the Bunyip training which can speed up training considerably, if your going to train a skill check out for a familiar than can help you and use it.

All I can say about the lack of using summoning critters, is, That for so long, most players have been without summoning to train and thus, they are simply not used to it. It will take time, as I feel more and more people will start using these.
Talking of GWD ever thought of taking a Fruit bat with you.... no??? Why not its special goes and gets you fruit that you can eat like papaya, which heals 8hp each!!! And the scrolls stack!! So you can kill the boss.. Special from your fruit bat and get full hp and more fruit in your invent.
There are lots of little ways to get the best from your summon creatures, Its all about knowing how to get the best from them.
Of the ones I've tried out, the foragers either 1) don't gather anything I can use/sell or 2) don't gather anything frequently enough. The stranger plant, for instance, can produce strange fruit which I love to use to boost my run energy, yet it will only produce 0-1 fruit in 40+ minutes. So far, I like the granite lobster as it fishes up sharks and swordfish which I sell, so it pretty much pays for itself.
As for the BoB, I don't have much use for them except during runecrafting when carrying more essence means gaining exp faster. Unfortunately, only 2 familiars will carry essence and good luck getting the abyssal charms to make them. I received 1 abyssal charm after killing 300 abyssal leeches.
