Nice, this is cute, I wanted to play it because it reminded me of Happy Aquarium and similar games but with pixel graphics. My critique right now is that the majority of the game is in fact casting your line and waiting. And there isn't a button to press to reel in the line when a fish bites, it's a waiting game. I think there's potential for fun here but the fishing I think NEEDS to be fun since that's really what you're going to be doing to get fish.
In the fish tank screen, I've played aquarium games where you have to take care of the fish, or they actually breed and make more fish if you wait. I think something like that would incentivize actually sticking with the game and looking at the fish tank. I know you're going to add more quests to round out the game so I don't wanna throw a bunch of ideas at you but that's my impression so far, is that it kind of needs more activity for the player in order to keep attention.

I like the designs of the fish, it's kinda funny.
