Core City Docks
Here on the docks, I might have selected a bad spot. However because it can take up to two minutes or occasionally even longer to get a bite in a "good" spot, there's no way to know this for sure until you sit around like a moron for about three or four minutes.
Thing is, you can't catch every fish available (for the fishing quest) from one spot, or even from one screen. As there is no information available on where to obtain specific fish, all you can do is try everywhere.
Also, I change spots and/or screens frequently.
- 20 minutes
- 31 bites
- 8 fish (4 Slackjaw, 3 Yellow Pufferfish, 1 Pentapus); 1 junk (1 electronic scrap)
- 25.8% success rate (29% including junk)
- average 38 seconds between bites (29 if excluding possible bad spot)
- average 2 min., 30 sec. to make a successful catch (2 minutes, 13 incl. junk); or 1 min., 58 sec. (1 min., 40 sec. for junk) if excluding possible bad spot
- worst stretch: 5 min., 0 bites (possible bad spot)

Try better fishing spots, like this for example (on the road to Junkyard, requires Perception). Also, from my experience, the game asks you to "get the fuck out" at some point, when you catch ~10 fishes. I don't think grind is the best approach here.
