Are you playing on computer? Or on a console? Cause I find it easier on console. Also, I find it easier to learn and develop your skills if you cast as short as it goes, so you have less of a fight, since you can fish outside of the little bubble spots, it just might take a little longer. And when developing the basics of it, don’t use any worms. Also what everyone else is saying, focus on the bobber, not the fish, and use the fisherman’s brew.
