How to fish?

[Terry Crews Is Hawaiian]

Ok so I bought this game a day after the fishing update with absolutely no knowledge about how to play the game or its features. When I realized fishing was a core mechanic to crafting medical supplies I decided to try, but I can't seem to figure out to actually catch anything. I've wasted 4 lure kits and I don't want to lose any more without knowing what buttons to press etc lol.

pfffffttt relly? lol, welp thats good job steam search haha.

well u got the grubs an made fishing tackle, so... sounds like youre clicking 'Strike' without a fish pulling under the bobber. wait for the bobber to go under, you cant miss it, then click 'Strike' to actually hook the fish. after a sec a message top mid-screen will say Fish Hooked!, (or strike failed), then R Click to reel it in. note the instructions to right of screen for reel, strike..etc.
when fish and you are close enough together, another message will appear to retrieve fish with F default.

after viewing it for a sec it goes right in your inventory.
R Click on fish to fillet it an two fish oil in a lab flask (green) will appear in your inventory for the large salmon, and 2 fillets, or one flask for small fish. But dont fillet on the spot unless you want the fish oil or eat right away, take that thing home an throw it in the freezer (you do have a freezer dont you?) an fillet it then or when you want the fish oil or eat it, but dont carry it around all day as meat goes bad now in your inventory if there too long.

For people using a controller like myself it goes as follows. 'Aim down sights' readies the pole for casting. 'Fire' casts the bait. The higher you aim the furthur out it goes until you can't see the float at all. You don't have to cast that far. Once the float is pulled under, 'Fire' sets the hook. Sometimes it second or so for the game to acknowledge then you use 'Aim down sights' to reel it in. If you have casted too far to see the float easily just tap to reel in it closer without reeling it all the way in then wait. Finaly, when the fish is close enogh you click the 'use' or often called 'activate' button and you have it. I'm using the 360 controller but the commands listed in the "Controls" window in the main menu or bwith "Esc" in game will be the same.

Been PCing since 1982 0n a 386 proc. Used all kinds of controllers including mice. Cirrently have a trackball. Find FPS games more comfortable on my hands and wrists after a few accidents when I was in the military years back. Prefer the old fashioned multi function joysticks but current siting arangements aren't comfortabe enough so I'm stuck with a console controller. Just so you know. :>)

Please write English.
As English is not my native tongue it is very difficult to understand what your point is. Thank you.

Nothing to it. I can not only take a little ribbing or poking but I can dish it out as well. Actualy I find it entertainig from time to time. Usualy prefer the intellectual aproach. It's all good soemwhere along the line. Provided the light at the end of the tunnel isn't the rear of my train leaving me behind. :>)
