When I fish and press "E" to reel in, nothing happens, I just stop fishing?

When I fish and press "E" to reel in, nothing happens, I just stop fishing. I make sure to press E at the right time and have tried this a ton of times. What could I be doing wrong?

I have fished a lot previously, months ago, but now it just does this. I even tried disabling all addons but it makes no difference...?

    First hold E to chose a bait. Then you can fish with the selected bait.

    Do you have auto-loot on? Look in your inventory to see if the fish are in there.

    By "waiting for the right time", you mean when your character lifts the fishing pole up a little signalling there's a fish?

    Thank you, I found out that I did indeed get the fish; the loot info just didn't show down in the right bottom of the screen for some reason. Restarting the game fixed it (I'll do that next time before posting, sorry).

    No need to apologize. When I first started using auto-loot, I used an undaunted key and didn't see the chest open or any loot so I sent a bug report to ZOS. ZOS responded telling me exactly what I got from the chest and when I checked, sure enough, those items were in my inventory. So, many of us have been there.

    That's why its generally better to see everything you're picking up first.
