when you see the fish take your bait and turn around with it, try to hook it or try hooking it while it turns around. to increase the chance of catching it, have th biggest hook and a 30lb. line. this works every other fishing day for me and you normally only catch 1 fish. (when i say every other fishing day, i mean you have to fish there until you run out of EVERY bait or till the sun sets and the game says to head back to the aqua lodge.)
