Tried fishing off the coast of Tanaris and Revantusk. Empty loot window.

Tried fishing in Undercity and Booty Bay. Successfully caught fish.

This issue has been around for at least 10 years. It’s unrelated to auto loot, addons, layering, etc.

Tested:

Regions: Tanaris, Hinterlands, Undercity, Booty Bay

Level 35 Mage with Artisan Fishing 230+

Level 20-something Mage with Expert Fishing 225 (filed an in-game ticket at the time)

Reloaded UI

Enabled and disabled addons, reloading UI between toggles

Toggled auto loot on and off

Used Aquadynamic Fish Attractor, Bright Baubles, and no baubles

Used Fishing Pole and Big Iron Fishing Pole

Changed positions along shorelines

Changed locations between attempts

Perhaps related: I opened a series of Mythril Bounded Trunks in my inventory and received the items from each one, but only the first trunk yielded currency. The other trunks remained in my inventory and after I opened those again, one by one, they yielded their currency loot.

All in all, this really feels like a server-side issue that, for some reason, affects fishing more severely than other components of the game.
