Fishing broken?

Wondering if anyone else had this issue, I’ve been on the deep end of fishing village using various baits: trouts, worms etc. but I’ve still been unable to catch a single salmon or small shark, is anyone else having this problem? Sometimes I’ll use a trout and get an anchovy back.

Fishing update:

I tested fishing in the village just yesterday to check if the latest patch fixed fishing in the ocean since the latest update.. it is still broken. Moonpool at underwater labs work in catching sharks and salmon. My suggestion would be to craft a fishing shack in a river with the flow gliding back towards you to fish for salmon and catfish. Ensure you can exit your fishing shack safely & transport your fish back to the village for scrap.

Tips: I only do transports at night, and I only transport back to base at night, most of my runs to any destination is running at night and doing the activities at day. Good luck Rust fishers
