Phishing is basically making the user believe that he is visiting the website he wanted, by making the particular website copy, preparing a believeable story and styling an email accordingly and such. But that's the second step - first is finding a careless person and make him confident enough to actually act on it.

Phishing is enticing people--mostly indiscriminately--into providing something to you; something (like access, personal details, verification) they would not otherwise provide. Spear Phishing is deliberately selecting a target. In information security, both are forms of social engineering.
