-Going through the mines is good, right?

Yes.

Most of the gear you find there is only really useful FOR the mine, so you don't necessarily NEED to go there, but you're eventually going to reach a point where you want to build things for your farm that require metals, and buying them from Clint is a massive waste. So you're going to want to have access to the various levels where you can mine copper, iron, and gold. Plus Clint will often give you quests to bring him ore, and Lewis will give you quests to kill slimes, which are pretty good for income early on.

There's also a point where you'll find a stardrop, which gives you more energy, which can help you work longer.

Once the mines are open, you should pretty much go there any day when it's raining and you don't have to water crops. Even on "unlucky" days, you can still clear a few more floors and get deeper, which is useful because the elevator lets you keep your progress. I usually try to sprint directly to floor 90 or so (so I can get gold) as quickly as possible, which in turn allows me to build the irrigation I need, at which point I automate the farm (thus allowing me to do other things, like mining, fishing, and raising animals).

I played this for a bit and it's pretty good but man that fishing system needs to go. Like the one aspect not copied from Harvest Moon and it's really frustrating trying to catch anything.

In my experience, it's super-difficult and really sucks when you first start, but as you slowly level up your Fishing skill, and get better fishing poles, it gets easier. The constant practice also helps.

By the end, I only really had a problem with the legendary fish and a couple other things, and even those were mostly covered by just tossing the lure in the pole that lets slows down the decay rate. It definitely seems more daunting than it really is, especially at first.
