INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In order to get something to bite the bait, you'll need to make sure that you are fishing in an area that has at least 75 continuous (vertically or horizontally) tiles/blocks of any liquid (this includes lava and honey). This technically means that you can fish in any body of water so long as they adhere to the 75 continuous tiles/blocks requirement.  The easiest way to fish is to go to the nearest ocean biome. However, you'll need to be careful since you're probably going to come across some high-level monsters on your way there. Although it's possible to make your own fishing area, it will take time. You might want to look into this though, once you've acquired more powerful equipment after defeating a couple of bosses. You can also fish in lava and honey, but you will need to make sure that you have the right fishing pole and bait. You cannot fish while submerged or standing in water.  Make sure you stand close to the water, but not in it. Open your inventory and place the fishing pole in your hot bar. While you have your inventory open, select your bait and place it in one of the ammo slots to the right below your inventory. Now you'll need to wait for the bobber to move, indicating that you've caught something. Once it's moving, click or press the attack button again and you should now have the item in your inventory.

SUMMARY: Go to a body of water. Stand next to the body of water. Equip the Fishing Pole. Equip bait into your ammo slots. Reel in the fish.
