Fishing Questions!

I have completed all the fishing achievements. Now I just want to fish "for profit." What is the best configuration?
1. Do I want the CP perk "Angler's Insticts" active? I assume NO, since it increases "rare" or "trophy" fish, and I don't want those. Or does it affect the drop rate of containers, like Pyandonean Bottles or Abyssal-drenched folios?
2. Do I want to use "Artaeum Pickled Fish Food", or fish in a group? I assume NO, because these increase drop rate of "rare" or "trophy" fish. Or does this also affect the drop rate of containers, like the Pyandonean Bottles and Abyssal-drenched folios?
3. Do I want to have the "Sharp as Night" companion active? I assume YES. He appears to have (2) buffs, one increasing "rare fish drop" and one to "reel-in frequency", but ZOS has clearly stated that the rare fish increase simply replaces some bait drops, so as long as I don't need bait -- it seems that the reel-in frequency will bring in more fish. True?
4. Do I want the CP perk "Reel Technique" active? I assume YES, since it decreases bite time irrespective of what is on the hook (more fish/containers over time).
Is there any data / experience available to answer these questions?

✭✭✭My answer would be exactly as you said, when I'm fishing for "white" fish all I have active is Reel Technique, I haven't actually bothered to unlock Sharp so I'm not sure about him..
My experience with bottles and folios is their drop rate is just the same without anything but Reel Technique active as it is with everything active.
However I swear the game knows I just want white fish and consequently gives me everything but them...... most notably fishing related furnishings such as sponges, kelp etc etc!!
