I finally got to the desert and the skull dungeon. Is the dungeon supposed to be that hard? Like holy hell the mobs wreck me. I have a lot of trouble timing the slime attacks esp. Also is iridium really that rare there? Like I got 2 ores on my first run to 20f lol.

Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

Welcome to the end of your social life! Fishing is difficult at first but as you level it up it becomes much easier. You'll also be able to buy new poles from Willy and eventually add bait & tackle. Tip: Hold down left click to control the rod rather than spamming, it's far easier to manage.
It's definitely the hardest dungeon in the game. Keep in mind you don't save your progress unlike the regular mine. And likewise the deeper you go the rarer materials you will find. It's far more important to carry stat modifying food with you, it can mean the difference between life and death. Consider upgrading your gear if you can, the crafted ring that ignores damage sometimes is particularly useful. Good luck!
i pretty much only go on an iridium hunt when my luck is really good and even then i'd say it only becomes common at about 40+ good luck!

You can. Fruit trees will also grow during the winter but won't bear fruit.
Some fish are harder to catch than others, particularly the ones that dart around in the span of a second. Here's a guide [link] that lists all fish, their difficulty, sell price, locations, etc. I always play with this guide open on my browser along with a gift/community center guide. Leveling up your fishing skill or upgrading your rod will increase the size of the bar, it's as simple as keeping the fish within the bar until you can reel it in. Tackle will add modifiers that can do things like prevent the bar from bouncing when it hits the bottom. If you slow down the bar enough you can actually prevent this without tackle but it takes practice. Keep at it, I find the fishing minigame is by far the most addicting mechanic once you get the hang of it. I like to fish in New Leaf as well so maybe that interest just carried over for me.
Edit: Eventually you will be able to create high quality fertilizer, it requires 2 sap and a fish. If you really hate fishing but still need a source, use mass crab pots & bait bins. Oysters and cockles can't be used for cooking and don't sell for much but they count as fish for the best fertilizer.

If all else fails you can consider modding the game, I'm sure there's mods to change fishing by now.
Idk man, I really like it personally. It's unique, simple and requires practice to master. Adds a bit to the fishing outside of just being at the right spot at the right time with the right rng.

Yeah, I think it's a bit too much either you master it or you fail for life kinda mentality, but yeah it's not Gaiaonline so I'll shut my breadbox.
ya i found this really nooby mod that p much let's you get the fish with one click and then wait for it to reel in.. smh yes some of you might think it's a bit cheat but ya i'll never get that ****ing mechanic lol.

ahh I really love the fishing but honestly you do you dude
You bought the game and you're customizing it to make it more fun for you, and that's all that matters imo.
yeah ikr, i mostly want it so i can get most of the fishing done without wasting 30 years for all of em it's not that i fish 24*7 just cause it either.. and ya more like easier rather than fun but indeed
