Wowpedia Fishing Wowwiki Patch 3.1

You can now fish anywhere, regardless of skill. Every catch has the potential for fishing skill gains, but you are likely to catch worthless junk in areas that are too difficult for your skill.

Based on this there is can be 2 conditions:

1. Not click on Fishing Bobber - you can't get skill up. Return message You fish got away.
2. Click on Fishing Bobber - you can get skill up.

Probably this report is condition 2. I'm assuming it's about missing worthless junk that you can get if you fishing skill not high enough. Because with condition 1 everything is ok. According to Fishing skill requirements by zone Feralas Skill for 100% fish (no junk) catch rate is 300.

@ishidinho - when you say a fish escaped, do you mean that an empty loot screen appeared, or did you get a junk item?

If it was junk, that would be expected behaviour: "all casts will catch something and award a chance for a skill-up. However, if your skill level is too low for a zone, you will catch mostly vendor trash items. The skill level required to guarantee "no junk" catches is equivalent to the old "no get away" level." If, on the other hand, you got an empty loot screen, then that would be an issue.

[Shineslippers]

Yes, empty loot and skill up. I guess issue with junk. I never got any junk there.

@Azcobu

Really nothing appears. No fish. No item. No empty loot screen. No error message.

[Shineslippers]

No empty loot screen could be caused by addons like xloot or auto-loot.

[ishidinho]

I preproduced the issue with all addons disabled before posting the issue.

[Shineslippers]

@Azcobu same as https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/issues/9208. Sometimes no loot. There is probably because day/night schedule. Can't reproduce no loot window only empty loot window

[Azcobu]

Merging this ticket into https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/issues/9208 and renaming that to reflect that it's a broader problem.

[Azcobu]

It just occurred to me that perhaps the disappearing window could be caused by auto-loot being on?

[Shineslippers]

Yea, i mentioned it 2 messages above https://github.com/chromiecraft/chromiecraft/issues/2410#issuecomment-981116941
