fishing in this game is very position sensitive. A few degrees left/right of the char can make it activate or not... Since you can't usually say from where the bot comes to the fishing node, you can't predict in which direction it's looking and therefor can't say if fishing is possible. (Standing against a rail or something makes things even worse, but I've also seen that while standing in the water).
A possible workaround for this could be to check the availability of the cast icon, i.e. instead of just spamming the cast button, check if it's active, and if not, turn the char a few degrees.
That's a problem pathing bots have as well, with a slight advantage that usually the bot always comes from the same direction and therefor looks in always the same angle. Have seen it fail as well though ;)
