You don't need spawners to catch fish at home—you can stock the pond yourself with whatever you want. I often create a pond for one of my sims to catch deathfish, since you can only get six per night at the graveyard. The fish won't be jumping, but the spot will be "a decent place to fish." Even better, your sim will only catch the fish that you stocked. The stock also only reaches so far, so a medium-sized pond can contain two or three separate fishing spots that don't overlap. It takes ten fish to stock the pond, and you can do so as many times as you like.
As far as how efficient it is to fish this way, I usually stock the pond three times (so 30 fish) in the same spot, and my sims who have met the Commercial Fisherman challenge (catch 350 fish, and you'll catch them faster) catch one fish every 40 in-game minutes. That's certainly much slower than the best fishing spots, but the catch rate is steady and there's no travel time.
