okay so i just started to play the game and i figured out how to throw the line with the left mouse button and the exclamation mark comes up but i can't figure out for the life fo me what i am doing wrong

[skyhunter826]

Its not easy for sure but we need to keep keep the green bar on the fish or just below it by tapping the L mouse button. Soemtimes a treasure chest appears and we score that as well. I find it hard to keep the green bar on the fish so lose it but practise makes perfect as usual.

You cast your line and wait for a sound and an Exclamation to pop over your head. Then Left click reals the green bar up (You want to keep the fish in the green bar preferable in the middle).

Step 1) Stand near water (river or ocean)
Step 2) Hold left click till the green bar fills then release
Step 3) Wait for a "Ding" noise and an exclamation mark over your character
Step 4) Keep the green bar over the fish until the gauge fills. Hold left click to make the bar go up, let go to make it drop.

Stand in front of water, ideally as close to the edge as possible to reach a better Fishing Zone.

With the fishing rod selected, click and hold the mouse button to fill the gauge which controls how far you will cast (usually you want to cast as far as possible, again to reach better Fishing Zones).

When the exclamation mark and sound manifest themselves, immediately click once to hook the fish.

Hooking the fish starts the main part of the minigame, where you control a rectangular bar's momentum and try to keep said bar on the fish.

yeah I have been struggling with fishing too, till I fishing with cursor C instead of left mouse, but now what is the different between fishing level V better fishing rod?
higher fishing level make you easier to catch fish? what about better rod? make you able to catch even better fish?
but so far I catch better fish with my training rod? (which is green color rod, for some obvious reason?)

Fishing skill level is what determines how big your fishing bar is, it's what makes fishing easier. It also allows you to cast further away, which will increase the likelihood of stronger, higher-quality fish biting.

The Training rod gives you a functional Fishing skill level of 5 no matter what your actual Fishing skill is; it also makes it impossible to hook strong rare fish. The Fiberglass rod allows the use of bait, which causes fish to bite much, much more quickly. The Iridium rod also allows bait and additionally allows the use of tackles, which affect fishing in various ways.
