Fishing pulse meter is absent until you catch a fish

[The_Masked_Man]

Hello, i have a bug and its the meter to pulse a fish with the electric spears is absent...until i catch a fish once. this is incredibly aggravating as i have to guess on when to pulse the fish because i cant see the zone. Also after i catch  a fish and the meter appears, if i try to use any gear/bait or open the map it goes away again. it really kills me wanting to even try fishing

I also had the same issue after the second hotfix, and it has now gotten to a point I don't get a meter at all after the last hotfix.
