In general, it is optimal to cast the bobber as far from land as possible, to maximize the [[Fishing#Fishing Zone|Fishing Zone]]. Longer casting distances are important, but also casting east/west instead of north/south can improve the fishing zone, as can fishing in wide-open water. In addition to affecting the quality of the fish, Fishing Zone also affects the chances of catching certain fish over other ones. While all non-Legendary fish can be caught in tiles that have a zone of 1, a lot of the "better" fish have a higher chance to be caught at higher-zone locations.

[[Fishing#Bubbles|Bubbles]] greatly increase the rate at which fish bite, and can also alter the relative chances of each fish type at the location.  Careful placement of the bobber on the edge of the bubbles allows the bubble bonus to be used in any of the adjacent tiles, providing some ability to optimize the Fishing Zone.

Fishing level is important because each increase in the fishing level increases the fishing bar by 8 pixels. The longer the fishing bar is, the easier it is to catch all types of fish. The fishing bar will continue to increase by this amount even as the player goes beyond level 10 (with [[buffs]]). This means the bar can get much bigger than it naturally would be even at fishing level 10. Using a fishing rod with the [[Forge#Tool enchantments|Master enchant]] will also increase the fishing bar by 8 pixels.
