Fishing Bugs

I'll try and keep this as informative as possible.

Cetus Plains, night.

Loadout: Nidus, Lenz, Staticor, Helios+Deconstructor,

 

Went to geyser pond near entrance, killed Grineer and two Vaumbalysts.

Jumped into rock in the middle of the pond, equipped Peram spear, managed to catch around 5 fish.

Water became turbulent (fish frenzy, whatever the term is) equipped Cuthol Bait. Tossed bait in, waited for fish to spawn.

Cuthol spawned, attempted to catch it but forgot Peram spear is not effective.

(Here is where things get weird)

Swapped over to Lanzo Spear, but instead of equipping spear I swapped over to primary weapon. I select spear from wheel, which was now Lanzo spear instead of my default Peram spear. Immediately all fish de-spawns.

Swapped back to Peram spear, but it switches me to secondary instead. Re-equipped fishing spear from gear wheel (default now Peram again). Fish re-spawned in, including another Cuthol, so I swapped spears and got a repeat of earlier. Then from then on, no matter how long I waited or how much bait I tossed in or different locations I went to, fish would not spawn. I used up about 4-5 Cuthol bait.

I hope this helps.
