Code:
obj
    icon = 'Skills.dmi'
    Fishing_Pole
        name = "Fishing Pole"
        icon_state = "f pole"
        verb
            Fish()
                if(locate(/turf/Water) in get_step(src,src.dir))
                    if(usr.isfishing == 0)
                        usr << "You start fishing.."
                        usr.isfishing = 1
                        sleep(rand(10,100))
                        usr << "You caught a sardine!"
                        usr.FExp += 10
                        usr.contents += new /obj/Fish/Sardine
                        usr.FishCheck()
                    else
                        ..()
                else
                    ..()

if(locate(/turf/Water) in get_step(src,src.dir)) means "If there's a /turf/Water inside the turf infront of src," which won't ever happen. You probably meant something like "If the turf infront of src is a /turf/Water," or if(istype(get_step(src,src.dir), /turf/Water))

It would be easier to just set the fish verb to the turf itself.

turf
    water
        icon = 'water.dmi'
        icon_state = "water"
        verb/Fish()
             set src in oview(1)
             //fill the rest in here


That would make life a whole lot easier, You wouldn't have to check for the tile to be infront of you. So long as you are 1 space away you can fish in it. Andd you only get the verb if you are 1 space away.

You can do the same thing for you mining rock too. This make the pole/pickaxe/hammer an item, that way you don't have the mine verb for the entire time you have the item in you inventory.
