Are fishing nodes currently bugged? Their spawn timers seem incredibly long.

Beyond the title, I'm not sure what else to add. Most fishing nodes I've been around just don't seem to be respawning at rates I'm familiar with in other blizzlike private servers, such as Nostalrius and Feenix. I can see why lower spawn rates would've been sensible prior to Nostalrius going under, since Kronos probably had a relatively low overall population, but it needs to be bumped up to address the massive influx of players now.

Kronos is blizzlike, other servers tend to tweak stuff

Yes ofc the little cash shop is blizzlike

I'm skeptical of that. Multiple quality blizzlike vanilla realms had higher spawn rates on fishing nodes. To allege that they "tweaked" their spawn rates, and that Kronos is more "blizzlike" with respect to fishing, seems to be a bit of a rash assumption.

Let's assume you are correct. Gather evidence and use the bugtracker https://vanilla-twinhead.twinstar.cz/?issue=1504

The thing is that Nostalrius fishing was bugged as hell. Floating wreckage (or was it debris?) that respawns every couple of minutes (the one at the pier in Shadowprey Village for instance, it seemed to be in a cluster of one with a respawn time of two minutes) is not blizzlike, catching two fishes per throw isn't blizzlike (which happened when you were fishing deviate fishes), so I'd definitely take the validity of Nost fishing with a pinch of salt. Kronos might have the wrong timers, but Nostalrius isn't a source for accurate information and I'd say that neither is Feenix.

If you look at El's Angling which is from TBC you'll get this: http://web.archive.org/web/20080616143612/http://www.elsanglin.com/pool_spawning.html

If you look at old forum posts on say allakhazam for instance, you're mostly gonna get 'wtf is it good for?'-posts. Or something along these lines (but this particular post is also from TBC and is pretty much the same as the El's Angling one): http://wow.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=69&mid=117156635592761272#6

Using http://db.vanillagaming.org/ I'm not sure how accurate the info there (worked perfrectly on Nost) but it does not match fish schools respawn timers on Kronos.

For example - 2 sagefish spots in Ashenvale (near splintertree) respawning longer than vanilladb says.
Also haven't seen any single fish school near sen'jin village in durotar. According to vanilla db and other sources there should be lots of it.
