See fish jump, go get rod and bait, go back, no fish, wander along shore, not a fish anywhere.
Put everything back, continue on, see fish jumping, go get rod and bait, go back, no fish. Go back, put stuff away.
Find fish, get rod, cast rod, get a lvl1 perch. Rest of fish disappear never to be seen again.
Carry rod, find fish, paltry inventory full so can't pick up fish. Fish laughs and swims away.

Rinse, repeat, baited by game.

Fishing used to be fun. Not so much any more. I like the idea of a flat spot on ocean, would probably be more effective.
