secret fishing tech??

[Zepulchure]

have i missed some info or something.
was fishing in throne world, one other guy caught 2 exotics
(first on his first cast after an event, so fresh spot, second while halfway to frenzy)
and 6 legendary fish.
while i got only blues and greens, (more greens than blue during frenzy)
all my catches were perfect so thats not the problem.

is there some buff, some spot or direction that just works better. or have bungie just cursed my existence??

my secret tech is to not do it

It's just RNG. The exotic pond for that week has the best odds, and getting perfect catches seems to improve rates, but that's about all the technical information about fishing there seems to be,

So after doing a bit of research

it seems really the meter thing has little to do with it, I turned up at the pond on Throne World eariler and it was not disturbed by public events for about half an hour. Caught 3 exotics, 8 legendarys, and about 80 everything else, after spending a couple of days trying to catch maybe 1 or 3 legendarys.
There is some weird stuff, it seems after you catch some good stuff you will have a quiet period of catching only blue and green. AS I was bored I was timing the catches, some are under 10 seconds, but the vast majority are between 15 and 25.

Which if you are only catching blue and green is a fairly poor rate at best

so, after having finished the fishing quest, i have made some possible discoveries.
first of all, don't just stand still and collect multiple fish at once.
not only does the meter go up from collecting, and not just catching.
but it seems to somehow improve your odds, i can be sure about this, but after i started doing that i caught multiple legendaries and a few exotics, compared to before where i would stand still and not collect until the pond got interrupted by an event, and i would not get a single legendary.
