Sim won't fish with bait

My sim won't fish at all where there are groups of fish in the water. I can fish where there are no fish, but there are only a limited number of fish I can get in these spaces and my sim has the 'Presenting the Perfect Private Aquarium' lifetime wish. How do I fix this?

    It's with all of them. The above solution worked for the fishing ponds at community lots but is there a way to fix the ones in the ocean at the beaches?

    Do the oceans not have spawners or can't you replace them ? (never really checked so I don't know).

    No, they don't have spawners. Strange..

    Hm. I guess they are only visible in the world editor then (CAW). Not something you can change.

    Don't know of any other non-mod solutions to try here.

    I even re-installed the game entirely and still the fishing with bait did not work.

    I find that I can combine the world editor with the buydebug on cheat to replace the fishing spawners. 

    Watch that you put the graveyard spawner into the graveyard (i.e. put back the same kind you delete). 

    It seems that when the game got updated the worlds did not get the matching upgrade.   

    I have replaced a couple of the fish spawners and they work fine now.
