"The fish sense something amiss." anti-bot needs tweaking.

This is specifically related to going after Big Fish that require the intuition buff.

I recently caught a Mora Tecta and decided to wait an hour for the next window to open to try and get a second one so that I can attempt to catch Lancetfish. However, the anti-bot "Fish sense something amiss." kicked in the moment I tried to start going for a second Mora Tecta, wasting an hour of my time.

I'm sure I'm not the only person this has happened to when going after various Big Fish. Surely there has to be some better way of this anti-bot functioning? It's literally ruining many legitimate players time. Can this anti-bot not be tweaked to recognize that it's clearly a player going after a Big Fish and not some RMT?

I don't know how it works, I only know how it fails to identify, or it can't identify legitimate players. This old anti-bot needs removed or updated so that it doesn't get in the way like it currently does.

The worst part of this is that it does not stop the bots. There are bots fishing constantly on the moon.

Sure this has something to do with anti bot?

Also one could fly a bit away from the spot. And nowadays it is even possible to log out of the game and the progress made to the intuition buff is being kept, if I'm not wrong.

While amiss is really flawed and very clearly doesn't stop bots if you go and take a look at something like The Frozen Fissure on the moon, as it's explained here you probably could easily counter it and continue fishing for the second Mora Tecta to get the int.

There's two types of amiss:
1) Procs 50 minutes after your first use Cast at a given position. The 'wary' message occurs 3 minutes before, if you're actively fishing anyway.
2) Procs after you use Cast 500 times at one fishing hole.

Both stop you from fishing where you are, but the first one doesn't stop you from fishing at the hole you're at entirely. It can be fixed by moving over slightly at the same fishing hole. You do this, you can keep fishing there. Even if you Cast, leave for 50 minutes without fishing somewhere else then come back to that exact spot, you'll still trigger this amiss.
An easy way to do this at Northwest Caliban Gorge if you're going to spend multiple windows trying for Mora is to move between the left and right edges of the pool for each window, but you don't even need to move that far to fix it.

The second one is what locks you out of fishing at the hole entirely. You need to use Cast at another fishing hole to reset it.

I don't remember when this was changed, I clearly missed it. But I've been of the mind that when you leave the fishing spot all progress toward the intuition buff was lost, I'm pretty sure it was like this a long time ago. However, if it was changed so you only need to stay in that area now, then that's great to hear and makes my complaining moot.

Thanks for the info, Minah and Tyo'to!

It was in the 6.0 patch notes:

Progress toward Fisher's Intuition will remain even after logging out.
