I cant find any fishing hotspots

[MiMiren]

I can fish the regular fishes but ever since the peppered bait fix I cant get any rare fishes, mainly murkrays. I read on multiple sites that I need to throw the special bait into a hotspot(bubble water) but I haven't seen one in a very long time.I even spent half an hour staring at the water at night. I do remember seeing them in the first day when I was trying to figure out fishing.

Do any of you have the same issue? Do I have a bug or am I just blind?

Ps.: Is anybody bothered by the fact that in description murkrays are said to live in lakes yet they spawn in ocean?

The map doesn't explain what these blue fish signs are. Do you know? Are there only specific places where hotspots can appear?

Make sure that your are Aiming with the spear to be able to hear the bubbles. You can jump up, or use ivara's dash wire to stay above the water, to be able to get a clearer view of the lake. 

Here you go from the wiki : http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Fishing

Depending on the location and type of body of water the player will encounter different species of fish.

• The large lake in front of Cetus:
  • Mawfish (common at day)
  • Charc Eel (common at night and day)
  • Norg (rare at night, special bait)

• Landlocked bodies of water scattered around the plains:
  • Yogwun (common at day)
  • Khut-Khut (common at day)
  • Mortus Lungfish (rare at day, common at night)
  • Cuthol (rare at night, special bait)

• Coast lines of the ocean (far left and right to Cetus gate):
  • Goopolla (common at night and day)
  • Tralok (common at day)
  • Sharrac (rare at night and day, general bait)
  • Karkina (rare at night and day, general bait)
  • Murkray (rare at day and night, special bait)
  • Glappid (rare at night, special bait)

Okay thanks for the map, something that it did not mention but I experimented with after seeing the map are hotspot areas. In other words the regular fishes will spawn pretty much anywhere its categorized as sea, pond or lake but it also narrows down to places that can spawn hotspots. Thats what I think at least. I found a few areas where they appear so i think im good now. Thanks for the help.
