 Each time a fish bites on a baited line, the bait will take damage (e.g. the fish eats a bit of it).  Bait is not required to catch fish (i.e. you can catch fish without bait), but the chances are a lot lower. Different fish prefer different bait.

-To discover what species of [[Fish]] you'll be able to fish on a given water tile, activate any fishing tool in your inventory then right-click the tile and select Lore from the menu. The Lore function, as it relates to fishing, is a little like the [[Prospecting]] function in [[Mining]], in that you will receive more information about the tile, including the type of tile and its depth in metres, if you have a higher fishing skill. Different fishing tools will reveal different information.
