adding section about fish bite time
The length of the cast is less important than where the bobber lands. Longer casts only improve fishing results if the bobber lands further from the shore, increasing the [[#Fishing Zone|Fishing Zone]]. Standing next to the water's edge allows casts to go further from land, as does avoiding locations with other nearby shores (''e.g.,'' try to fish where a river is as wide and straight as possible).

===Fish Bite Time===
The fish bite time measures the amount of time that passes before a fish bites once the fishing rod is in the water. This base time is a random number between 0.6 and 30 seconds. Each increase in the fishing level decreases the maximum amount of time it takes for a fish to bite by 0.25 seconds. So for example, at level 8 fishing, the time it takes for a fish to bite would be a random time between 0.6 and 28 seconds. Equipping an [[Iridium Rod]] with a [[Spinner]] will decrease the maximum amount of time by 5 seconds, and equipping an Iridium Rod with a [[Dressed Spinner]] will decrease the maximum amount of time by 10 seconds. So at level 10 fishing and with the Dressed Spinner, the time it takes for a fish to bite would be a random time between 0.6 and 17.5 seconds.
Using [[Bait]] will decrease both the minimum and maximum amount of time it takes for a fish to bite by 50%. [[Wild Bait]] further decreases this by another 25%, for a total of a 62.5% decrease compared to no [[Bait]]. So at level 10 fishing using the Dressed Spinner and Wild Bait, the time it takes for a fish to bite would be a random time between 0.225 and 6.5625 seconds.

Fishing Skill is increased by catching [[Fish]], [[Trash]], [[Seaweed]], [[Green Algae]], or [[White Algae]] with a Fishing Rod/Pole, by harvesting [[Crab Pot]]s, or by collecting items from [[Fish Pond]]s.

Each level grants +1 Fishing Rod [[Skills#Proficiency|Proficiency]], increases the minimum fish size (in/cm) and bobber bar height, and decreases the max amount of time before fish bite.
