Maybe you were fishing in a wrong spot? As far as I know some fish spawn only in certain places.

I only have tried the standard two baits. Neither does anything.

So, I would not be surprised if this was the same for all. People mention chucking bait into the ripples (what ripples?) but who know.s

I checked the wiki, and it seems the bait might not work correctly:

- Using bait might be affected by a hidden cooldown period, not spawning the special fish for a certain duration.
- Currently special baits are not consistent. Sometimes the bait will not attract the special type of fish that it should attract no matter how much bait is thrown in.
- Though bait is said to lure fish, it may not lure any fish in the duration it is out for.
