Fish. When do they stop sensing something is amiss?

[synesthetic]

There comes a point when fish sense "something is amiss" no matter where you try to go, no matter how far you try to move. If anyone else has noticed this, would you happen to know when it resets?

I've been going after Titanic Sawfish for the past few days (obviously with no luck) and have been achieving the above state after.. I don't know.. somewhere well over 500 crab balls, I think? When it first happened to me, I just put the game down and found something else to do; I figured that it'd reset at JP midnight. This time, I've been fishing through the night and early morning, then at around 7:10am PST (just past JP midnight) I'm hit by the above situation again.

And I like fishing at Parata's Peace just next door for my peiste maps. So I'm concerned that I'm locked out of fishing for my map for the day. I could go BTN at the Bramble Patch for it when I go to do my beastman dailies later, but I'd still like to know when does this fishing lockout reset for future reference.
Because I gotta catch 'em all, and I'm sure I'll run into this issue again.

Whenever this happens to me just moving a little distance away from where i was previously fishing seems to get rid of this. Seems to work for all my FC members.

Same. When was fishing Silver Sovereigns got the message - moved 1 step outside the fishing hole area (I believe that is the name of area on fishing log right?), catched 1 fish and stepped back in to go on with Silver Sovereigns.

Its so you can't just stay in the same spot and fish continuously But as was said moving a little ways to andifferent spot will reset it.

Like I said, I reach a point where no matter how far you try to move, it doesn't stop. I'll move from the entrance to Cape Westwind to the other end and still not be able to fish. Whereas normally I can just move a few feet and it clears up.

From what people have observed, this is some kind of bugged glitch or anti-botting measure. It can apparently be triggered if you eat food too soon after you reel a fish in, or somesuch. You have to move to an entirely differently named fishing area and fish there to reset when this happens.

caught all my silver sovereign without food. This still happen quite often though. Only need to fish 1 time on other fishing spot then come back.

If you're going for the Titanic Sawfish, your biggest problem is that you're spending a lot of time fishing at the wrong time. It's only catchable between 10am and 6pm and only in clear weather. Go try for something else during the night or cloudy weather and you should never run into the "something amiss" problem.

The question still stands because the point here is that I want to understand this game mechanic better.
On that note, I was able to fish for my map later in the day. So I'm guessing it's more like a cooldown than a static reset. But I still want a better idea of what length of time is involved.

As for sawfish specifically, I have read about those conditions already, but I don't see how people came to that conclusion and would rather not follow it religiously until I see strong reasoning to back it up. I only saw around five testimonies, and it's almost always clear weather in the area anyway. If there's a nice listing where significantly more people have been submitting their raw data for perusal, I'd love to see it. Until then, I don't mind fishing under whatever time frame I'm able to, because it's either I fish or I commit sudoku, and I've already gone through waaay too much sudoku lately.

What I personally love is: fish a couple of times, have a duty finder pop, spend an hour in the dungeon, come back out, try to fish... the fish sense something amiss.
