You can also use gravity traps.Aaaaaah! I only just crafted that last night, but thought it had something to do with lifting heavy objects. Didn't realise you could use it on fish. Thanks!
I'm gonna eat tonight! Yaaaaaay!
In any case, catching fish is only really needed in the first stages of the game. Later on you're going to grow plants, both on air and in water and if you like a fish diet, you're going to have aquariums where you can keep and grow them, too.
Also a word of warning - The crater the game takes place is a closed ecosystem. Fish procreate really slowly and there is a finite number of edible species as well as individuals within the species. It's very easy to make a species go completely extinct! I didn't know that the first time I played and I obliterated the Bladderfish and Peepers entirely.
Later on, if you're lucky and you have some eggs, you can repopulate, but it's really hard!
