Try to fish where you see fish jumping and try live bait (leeches) instead of lures.

There is one possibility here: the node is dry. I'm not sure it's ever been fixed, but if the node is fished dry, it can take a couple of hours for the fish to quit jumping.

The fresh baits:
Worms: dig dirt and you get an occasional worm, around 20-30% of the time, maybe a bit less.
Leeches: Just walk through swamps. They'll attach you you in your equipment spots if there isn't anything there.
Intestines: from butchering large animals: fox, mouflon, aurochsen, boar, deer, bear, cow, sheep, pigs.
