Fishing can be kind of a pain to go out of your way to do when you see a school of fish that you want, especially when you got other things to do. Conversely, other gathering professions like mining, and herbalism, are as easy as performing a short cast and gathering a nice little bundle of resources before moving on your way. You even get to unlock the ability to stay mounted while doing it.
I think fishing nodes need to be reworked so that fishing from schools is a bet less of a chore.
First, of course, don’t get rid of the fishing minigame, but relegate it to the role of open water fishing.
Schools, on the other hand, should start working like other resource nodes where it’s a short cast time after you click on it, you get a small bundle of fish, and other players can do the same for a short time before it despawns
To facilitate this logically, add fishing nets as a secondary fishing accessory in addition to the fishing pole, so you’re essentially casting a net to gather the entire school
