I've found there's only about 3 fish in a particular spot that will bite. After you catch those, move a few meters down the shore and cast again.

Been I while since I played but yeah. Stick to fishing in meadows biomes and after a while of fishing you won't see any more so move to a new place where you see fish and deplete that spot. Eventually the old spots should get replenished. And you will want those fish later on for better recipes (Unless H&H nerfed that idk)
