Zelda Twight Princess Help

[grouchie]

Ok, just started playing this game and the whole fishing thing is pissing me off.

I am probably overlooking something simple, but I am really not getting it.
I've tried it for about 25 minutes or so, and I have not gotten one real bite yet. I have not see the words fish on, I do not Know what I am doing wrong.

Can anyone guide me through this?
I want to get this cat a fish so i can finally go and play the damn game!

god I suck
