Wrothgar fishing broken again PC/NA

I am trying to fish up the Crab-Slaughter-Crane fish in Wrothgar. I fished out two nodes, then suddenly every saltwater node I found was bugged. I could cast, something would bite and I could reel in normally, but I wasn't actually catching anything. I first noticed this on the nodes near Morkul Wayshrine.

    Neither /reloadui nor relogging worked to solve the problem. :(

    What are the chances you have Sharp active or his passive unlocked?

    I've heard reports that his token is causing bugs in Wrothgar specifically regarding the Crab-Slaughter-Crane fish. https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/637293/wrothgar-fishing-is-this-a-bug-or-feature

    If you don't have his memento yet, just make sure you don't have him out in that zone. If so, that's a bug that needs to be fixed.

    After further diagnostics, there is a specific group of saltwater nodes around the Morkul Wayshrine and Exile's Barrow -- around where Atorag (the NPC that tells you about the special fish) is located. It's about half a dozen nodes, give or take a few. In this group of nodes, players can cast, get a bite (theoretically) and reel in normally, but don't catch any normal fish. They can only catch special items like sea sponges; most of the time they get nothing at all. I tried grouping with two other people, and we all got the same result. The nodes farther north, from Forgemaster Falls northward, and south of Exile's Barrow, work normally.

    Yes, we did have Sharp out, so I'll have to investigate that. Thanks for that tip.

    This is happening to me as well. Only the nodes west of Morkul wayshrine. We were fishing at night trying to get the Wrothgar's biggest fish achievement. Worms were expended but no fish were received.

    FOLLOW UP! I am happy to report that Update 39 has fixed this bug, and I caught the Crab-Slaughter-Crane fish last night. Thanks ZOS!
