Fishing will be 100000x easier with the following macro.
/wait 13 /fish
13 seconds is the base time to wait between casts. You may subtract one second for every rank (not level!) you increase in fishing.
Basically, every time you get the results of your last cast (Obtained: "fish", Lost your catch, etc.), fire this macro as soon as it becomes available. This will automatically count down the wait, and cast when it is over. As soon as it is fired, you then have 13 seconds to read some homework, check a forum, etc. You will also avoid those awful "You must wait longer..." messages.
Also, if you like to keep track of the moon phase and the time, you can put
/clock
at the start. I have a seperate macro for that, b/c I find seeing the moon and time info every cast clutters my box and makes it harder for me to follow LS conversations or other things that are going on. But if you really want to keep track of the conditions, that is a good way to do it.
Hope this helps.

Sorry to burst your bubble Stri, but I did not actually sit there with a stopwatch timing myself. Instead, I spent a lot of time on the fishing forums on AK trying to put together a solid stock of information from about 4 different fishing guides. I'm trying to take the best of the best and put it into my fishing guide, but since I am only level 19 in fishing, I haven't really gotten a chance to go out and see what places work best for levels 20+. Hopefully within the next week or so I will be able to crank it out to 25 or so and check out some different locations for skilling after East Ronfaure.

I actually had 2 macros for fishing. One to equip all the gear and one to equip rod and bait and start fishing. I'll list them here for anyone who wants them.
Equip Gear: /equip Body "Fsh. Tunica" /equip Hands "Fsh. Gloves" /equip Legs "Angler's Hose" /equip Feet "Angler's Boots"
Fish: /equip Range "Carbon Fish. Rod" /equip Ammo "Insect Ball" /wait 13 /fish
