Fishing out an area

So I have a script that I use for fishing and I am looking to make it super easy for users but finding that i am having trouble figuring out how to make it fish out every possible spot without gettign a million fish are not biting here messages.  Currently, you hard code where to cast and that works great.  i have spots where you fish out 3-4 spots and it hits them and moves on perfectly.  No boats.. land only.

Thinking ahead to a public thoughtless version because let's face it hard coding spots is going to be a nightmare for folks that are not comfortable with easy uo is going to lead to a million PMs of i cannot figure it out will you make spots for me requests and a lot of how does this work questions desipite how solid a write-up is.

The tile scanning to make sure it is water is not an issue...
it is how do i get it to be smart about fishing multiple spots that do not overlap from the same location.  I was thinking of doing what TM's fishing script does and fish or check each direction / diagonal in each direction but there will be marked locations where none of those auto find.

The easiest solution, which i do not care for, is to make it fish one spot and move on.

Any creative ideas?

I think 4x4 fishing is the only way to fly.
I have often thought find the right two boat locations and 4x4 til dry - then move 16 forward and 4x4 again - then move back 16 and restart.

yes, you can but it is rare.  it is when you are close to the middle of where four areas meet.  typically it is 2 or 3 spots.  2 is the most common

Just take a look at how I do it in the fishers I've posted.   If you use a 4x4 grid and journal scan, it's pretty easy to manage fishing up everything without many failed fishing attempts due to no resources.

Look at my miner (I believe i gave you a copy once) and how it calculates 8x8 grids so that it doesn't hit the same grid twice
