Try fishing parallel to the bank and when you get the 'start to reel-in your catch' message charge your bobber... just make sure you don't start swimming along the way or else you will stop fishing

I was about to reply with the same advice. This has worked like a charm for me. I just tried fishing for the first time on Saturday, and didn't put much time into it. I've lost my bait or had my catch get away from me a grand total of 3 times so far, and I caught almost 40 fish. 40/43 is a pretty decent success rate. Of course, I'm fishing at a site with Fish Density 5 and Vegetation 0, perfect for fishing. Best yet, it's about 300m from my house, on the opposite side of my player city. For those of you on Radiant who want to try fishing, contact me in game. I'll hook you up with a decent pole and some bait to get you started and point out my favorite fishing spot.

I am wondering if the Devs could implement fishing with grenades. It would be much quicker than standing in the water getting 60-80 units per hour and may even come close to the sampling of other resources that are well over 500 an hour at a good site. I would love to just throw a concussion grenade in a pond and then gather up all the fishies! At times I feel like I am starting to develop a case of trichotilomania due primarily from getting the caught fish message only to have it get away after fighting the fish for a bit (I've personally had this happen six times in a row). Is there anyone who's going to be looking into upgrading the fishing in the game? Please do so - I'm almost bald.
