I am currently lvl 45 fisher, and this is the layout I use. I will update as I lvl up.

PROVISIONAL - NOT LEVELLED OR TESTED

The idea for my Fisher setup is that there is a main hotbar for the most useful actions for general/ocean fishing, you press R1 to access spearfishing skills, and the middle hotbar is for ease of movement, large-size fish and Patience skills. Dye button here = Cordial

1 - Easy general fishing

Here is to make it easy to do general fishing.

2 - Buffs and macros

I have /sit on [1] and Cordials on the far left macros.

The XHB setup I use for my Fisher. 1-3 are unique to FSH, all else are shared between all jobs. XHB4's LT->RT pane is a selection of emotes. XHB7 is my job selector.

For level 100 FSH

!GENERAL FISHING CROSSBAR!

1= HI-CORDIAL

XBars 1 and 2 are for normal fishing XBar 3 is for Spearfishing

I suggest Mooch, Mooch II, Consumables, Thaliak's Favor and Surface Slap are placed on hotbars to track procs and cooldowns.

All are FSH specific. Extra bait stays in Saddlebag. Tried to keep things grouped functionally. Untested so far, purely hypothetical.

5-year KB+M player gets Steam Deck, is forced to learn controller. regular fishing is heavily prioritized over spearfishing.

Full Fisher WXHB I ran out of space to add other gatherer skills, but this is easy use for spear fishing on the 1LT and general fishing on all the other XHBs.
