With planters and pots you can farm and harvest dozens, even hundreds of herbs at a time but when it comes to fish, you're stuck with the relatively slow process of fetching fish after fish.. what if fishing was made a little easier, and automatic like herb farming?
Crab Pots! I couldn't decide on a color, so here's a few of them.
Crafted with 10 Iron/Lead Bars and 5 of any bait with at least 30% bait power, these pots can be placed on the surface of any liquid to slowly catch fish over time, letting you do other stuff, like planters allow. When they catch something they will begin to vibrate, and right clicking them will spit the fish item out into your inventory.
Pros:

Pros:
- Can catch fish without needing to fish.
- Needs a few bait to craft, but will catch fish infinitely.
- They are unable to catch crates and quest fish, so you will still have to fish manually for those.
- Each crab pot in a body of water will subtract 10 blocks from the water tile count. (If you have a body of water with 300 tiles with 10 crab pots in it, the catching rate for the crab pots will be that of a 200 tile body of water. Fishing by pole will not suffer the fishing penalty, though.)
- A slow process, catches one fish on average 1-2 in-game days.
- Can only hold one fish at a time, so they need to be looted now and then.
