[I felt like this would probably already be posted, but I took a look and didn't find anything other than wishlists and ungrammatical posts.]
I've been fishing a lot in my world to feed my cats; made a nice little lake and pier. But the actual fishing itself is painstakingly tedious. I figured I would probably catch fish faster if I put some bait or a lure on my pole.
For a lure, I would recommend feathers. For bait, we can put a piece of Rotten Meat on a crafting grid and get some sort of Grub out. Then each time you cast your fishing line, it would use one feather, one grub, one of each or neither depending on what you have in your inventory, similar to a bow using arrows for ammunition.
Having either a lure or bait on your line would increase your chances of catching a fish per tick by a certain amount (say, 20%? more?) over normal, and having both would increase it more (say 50% more likely per tick). [Numbers are rough.]
I just want a new fishing system. Fixing the current one won't change anything because it still sucks. Having to wait 40+ seconds for a single bite is pretty bad when I can run around and kill 5-6 cows in that time and have anywhere from 5-10 steaks.
You have a point; except in the very early game when one hasn't set up a wheat farm to make bread or to breed animals, fishing is not one of the most time efficient food sources. I mainly want it improved because there is no other option to feed cats.

I always tell myself I am going to fish for my food early on -- then I make 4-5 stone swords really quick, and just go murdering everything and then I end up with enough food to last me the next 40 hours of play.
