'''Bait'''
When used on a hook, baits increase the chance of catching a particular fish. There are 12 types of bait:
Fly - You catch these using a pottery jar with a bit of honey in it, on animals that require grooming.
Cheese Piece - Cheese Broken into smaller pieces.
Dough Ball - a small ball of dough.
Wurm - Found on dirt and mycelium tiles.
Sardines - Caught using fishing nets in shallows.
Roach - Caught in shallow waters.
Perch - Caught in shallow waters.
Minnow - Caught in caves.
Fish Bait - Small fish chopped up.
Grub - Found in shrivelled trees, prised out using an awl.
Wheat Grain - from wheat!
Corn Kernel - from corn.
Each time a fish bites on a baited line, the bait will take damage (e.g. the fish eats a bit of it). Bait is not required to catch fish (i.e. you can catch fish without bait), but the chances are a lot lower. Different fish prefer different bait.
'''Standing on Land:'''
'''Note''' - When fishing by boat, due to the forces of wind and current, it is often necessary for the captain to either moor the boat with an [[anchor]] or disembark and then re-embark as a passenger. This will secure the boat from further movement and then make fishing possible.
'''General Attributes of Fish Types:'''
All fish now have a set of attributes which determine where and when they are more likely to be caught:
Preferred water type (lake, sea, etc)
Minimum and maximum depth.
Feeding height.
Rod types.
Time of day - some fish like to feed in the morning, afternoon, evening or even at night
Baits - each fish has a favorite bait, some baits it likes, others it is less likely to eat, and some it will never touch.
Outside or in caves - some fish are only found underground
Rare fish can only be caught on special tiles (which are out at sea).
