A lot of other things than bait and fish activate fire in the water, and bait and fish can move through water with a lot of fire in it without activating it. True, on a very dark night actively feeding fish can show up as dull blobs of light, and strikes can be very spectacular, but counting on fire to tell you what's out there is a reach at best.

From what I've both read and experienced fire in the water isn't a good thing. If it does indicate action in the water it certainly doesn't seem to always indicate good fishing.

Fire or phosphoresence is not a good thing at all for fishing. It kills it 99% of the time.
