One wanting a bite? (6)

I believe the answer is:

angler

(Other definitions for angler that I've seen before include "Fisher with rod and line" , "who looks for compliments" , "One proverbially exaggerating" , "person hoping to catch fish" , "A rod and line fisherman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
