So I'm down at the bottom of a deep cave system with no food and only half a heart remaining.
I've walled myself off into an enclosed room, so I'm safe for the moment.
My only hope is a fishing pole and a single bucket of water. What's the most effective way to fish?
I've tried lots of different sized holes and different ways of arranging the water, and even in the best cases I end up sticking the hook to the side of the rock a good half my casts or more. Across a few attempts I ended up with a pathetic 3-4 fish before my fishing pole broke.
The best thing I came up with was a long, skinny channel for the water, placing the water near my feet with the water running away from me. I also had some decent results with a 2x2x2 hole with the water source placed on the upper level and flowing down.
How would you fish in this scenario for the most fish per fishing pole?
A second bucket of water would allow me to create an infinite water source. Would this make it significantly easier? What size/shape pool would you make in this case?
Fish can be caught from any source of water, what matters is if it is open air or not. If it has a roof, the odds of catching a fish are substantially lower.
In My Opinion There's No Best Way To Fish But In My Opinion Just Fish In A Sea, And When It's Raining There's A More Efficient Way Of Getting A Fish :3
I have a pretty good sized naturally occurring fishin' hole in one of my mines, and I still hook the wall a lot.
I'm not sure if the bob has to land in a water source block... the wiki doesn't say one way or another. The long channel you talk about appears to be one method, but with only one bucket, you'll need to stand 3 or 4 blocks away from the end when you cast.

He's not near a sea, he's blocked off in a room underground with half a heart and one bucket of water. That's why he's asking this question.

That's a hidden message, I know that a hidden message!
While "fish while raining" and "fish in the ocean" are reasonable advice for general fishing, that's not my situation.
I'm deep underground, holed up in a room around layer 15, with a fishing pole and a single bucket of water.
yeah you can do that. I watched alot of PC minecraft mod vids on Youtube like Sky Survival,Junara and more where food was limited and people would create an infinite water source w/1 bucket of water and begin to fish and they would actually catch a shitload of fish in there infinite,tiny water source. it's actually pretty coold and I've done it on xbox and it got me out of a lot of messed up situations
Yes, you need 2 buckets to make an infinite water source.
Anyone else want to chime in on the best fishing method when you only have a single bucket of water? ("best" in this case means "most fish caught per fishing pole")
honestly a great way to fish underground without constantly catching it on the sides is to dig a hole in the ground only one block deep and place the water, the mine several blocks above it. Stand in the water then proceed to cast your hook directly above you and the bob will land in the water, jump out of the water so you can observe for fish, I hope this helped ^-^
Well it isnt much help when a thread is 2 years old now is it? Next time look at the dates so you don't do this again. Cause bringing an old thread to life is very silly looking...

Thank you for the great suggestion! Personally, I don't see the harm in reviving old threads to add real information to them. Most of the time, though, people revive old threads just to renew old arguments, so some people take offence. I've never tried casting straight up... does the hook falling down on top of you cause any damage to the player? I know dogs used to go aggro if the player shot an arrow straight up.
I don't think this will cause damage to the player, especially if you were to hop out of the water before it fell, I only bothered to bring up this past post simply because I came across it while looking it up on google, so I figured future knowledge seekers could flourish. knowledge is knowledge, even slightly "outdated", it could be helpful to anyone in need.
Having 2 water source blocks can help increase the surface area you have to catch fish in by generating infinite water sources from there to fill a wider area. then you don't have to risk hooking yourself by casting straight up into the air or worry about having to jump in and out of water again.
You can catch fish under ground... but it is better if there surface of the water is exposed to open sky, and even more so in a biome where rainfall is frequent.

The main problem is that it is so easy to catch the hook on one of the blocks around (or under) the water, that easily half your casts are wasted.
And I think you need 2 buckets full of water to make an infinite water source.
So far as I know, you do. One for each corner of the 2X2 area.
