Above all else, try to make it feel like an independent spin 2 win. I think people can agree that spin 2 win is kind of bad. Chance of getting anything is pretty low and always feels like you're getting nothing out of it.
But the moments when you get anything out of it (350 to 1000) feel okay.
Then the moments where it feels worth it (10 crates, 2500 or harmless egg) feel better and it was possibly worth spinning.
And then the micro moments where you just win the jackpot because your name is microboss.
Make it feel like it was worth spending the three hours spinning to win the 40k jackpot.
Add feeding frenzies that are announced to only the lobby server. Make it last three minutes and have two times the catch rate.
Add unfavorable event that makes fishing harder/longer and lasts like 30 minutes so people aren't always in lobby. Shouldn't happen too often or more common when there's a lot of people on lobby.
Along with this, you could add like a side thing like the discord/server status that tells us the weather (like if its in our favor/neutral/bad out).
Weekly quest for bait. Or just TTT in general has a chance to spawn bait on the ground.
Add durability to lures. Maybe repair them or it just goes away so you have to buy another. (lessens macros/automations/bots)
Treasure rarely appears and menu like the challenge chest shows up and gives you small selection of stuff.
Add fishing levels and perks. The more fish you catch, the higher your fishing level goes. Every 5 levels is a perk point. Make it like a perk tree and cost coins to respec.
This kind of ties to just a fishing level itself. The higher level you are, more items in the shop open up to you. Also fishing master title.
Add at least a weapon tier, or a melee like people in the thread are asking for. A fishing rod melee also sounds like silly fun. Ideally, Megalodon would've fit the theme to drop in here.
Add tidals as a droppable thing.
I know you said not complicated, but I just wanted to add systems to give options.
