I was fishing just fine yesterday, caught a few fish...but today, I can't get my line to cast out! I can select my pole (which is baited) but it won't cast out. there are no error messages at the top, and I've tried several locations including the ones where I was catching yesterday. any ideas? I've been wasting bait trying to cast out...
after doing some reading, I might not have a lure only the bright baubles! ack, I think this might be my problem...I need to login and check! (duh!)

Put the fishing "spell" from you spell book on the toolbar. Then cast from there.
correct as far as it goes. If you put the pole on the toolbar, clicking on it will only equip it (move it from your backpack to your weapon slot). Clicking on the fishing icon will actually cast your lure out to the water. What I've done with my toons is I map the casting button to a hotkey (I use the letter "Q", but if you use keyboard navigation, you might want to consider a different option). That way, pressing the letter will re-cast the bobber, instead of maneuvering around with the mouse to re-cast.
After fishing, don't forget to re-equip your regular weapon. Hitting mobs with a fishing pole might be satisfying, but it does the pole no good.
