Something like this? Fishing System

No idea what you mean by a fishing system (I could interprete that in a million ways). You need to make your requirements more clear.

ok, someone needs to have a fishing pole in their inventory...they press a button and if near water it will fish...randomly catching fish(which will be a item), or not catching anything

Make it so that the activator button is the actual rod item, this will keep your ability menu free for other abilities.
You then need to check for water, this probably will need JASS but you could also litter the coasts with helper units which are invisible (if near one then you can fish, else it says you are too far from water).

Fishing itself is hardly complex. You use random numbers and maths to get the chances for certain outcomes, and then via multiple selection you can check if those chances occur (if so do the appropiate actions, otherwise move on to next check).

ok, but how would i make them have to stay in place to fish?

like they use the ability...then it stops them for like 5 seconds to fish

Pause the triggering unit, TSA (TriggerSleepAction) for 3 seconds (in MP it will extend to 4-5) and then unpause it. Use a local unit to store it if the triggering unit is lost during the wait.
