Fishing lockout?

[Zamire]

Well I just went through about 4 stacks of lugworms at the Summerford spot and now I'm locked out, does anybody have any idea how long that lasts?

Try moving to a different spot on the same river. If you get the same message pretty much no matter where you go, go to a different fishing spot on the same map (closest one you can get to), catch any fish there, then go back to old fishing spot. Unlocked :-)

Oh wow, that simple? I thought I was going to have to wait till the next weekly reset or something... Thanks xD

I think it's just there to discourage bot fishing by making it a bit more difficult to do that way.

Yea that's what I figured but I didn't think it had such an easy work around.

yeah, just fish ONCE at another spot = unlocked

Exactly.

Note it's not necessarily another fishing hole, just another fishing spot. Like, move a few feet to the side and try again.

The only place this is a big problem is the Exploratory Fishing Hole in Coerthas (because it's so small). The workaround there is to fish from maximum distance and, if you get the message (or ever few throws) move to the maximum distance spot 120 degrees around the hole. Like, imagine a triangle around the hole with each vertex the max distance away where you can still fish. Fish at those points. It seems to look at distance from where YOU were when you "overfished," not the distance from where your theoretical hook would have hit the water.
