seriously WTF I'm doing a rank 10 leve at skull valley and i'm rank 12 and all i get is "Nothing bites" and "You lost what feels like...." WTF?!?!? I have the right bait, I have gear appropriate, everything I'm doing right and its a pain in the &*%$in ass...

Funny how you don't mention your bait and yet "everything I'm doing right". Clearly, you're doing something wrong. Thats why you're here. I for one am a fishing expert - rank 30 holla!!!! What bait are ya using?

I said I was using the right bait....funny how you don't read. Its not me doing something wrong, I'm using Ocean bait, the yellow worm, can't remember its name...and go figure after i struggle for 20 minutes with catching anything and come on here and vent I get 3 catches in a row to finish the leve. Fishing in this game sucks so far but I think the weather has something to do with the problem I was having because soon as it stopped raining I started catching more regularly.

Hey you, I can read just fine! I was getting at, you have a problem yet you are not supplying the details. Now you have. But I have lost interest in your cause, good luck brah.

I would say look less at what's wrong with fishing and look at once what could be wrong on your end. That is not a flame or meant to be taken as a bash, but somewhere along the line you are doing some incorrectly. Whether your jigging just a bit to far, too little.

More than likely though I would say check your stats, the last patch made fishing more stat based, as it should have been. If you stats are crap for the job then that is probably your issue. I have noticed many lower rank fishers complaining about its difficulty lately and nearly all of them are not using appropriate level rods/gear or have junk stats, I am not saying that is your case, but clearly there is something that you need to fix.

Fishing is perfectly fine as is, there are some tweaks that could be made, but the overall system is fine.

Fishing is by far one of the easiest job classes in the game to level.

Because your fishing is five levels higher than your botany must mean fishing is super easy!!!
Really, lets not talk about how challenging FFXIV is. Unless you really want to.
