Purpose:
Graphical indicator for when to reel in fish.
Function:
When a fish is on the hook, "FISH" appears in the middle of the screen. Until the fish is caught or the person stops fishing.
Mechanics:
Uses EVENT_INVENTORY_SINGLE_SLOT_UPDATE to measure a countChange of -1 of an existing item (bait) as "a-fish-on-the-hook" to turn on indicator, and obtaining a new item as the "fish caught" to turn off indicator.
Uses EVENT_CLIENT_INTERACT_RESULT to add "currently fishing" restriction to indicator turn on condition.
Uses EVENT_CHATTER_END as an additional "indicator-off" trigger, to handle the exception where the player does not reel in when the fish is on the hook.
Background:
All the features in this addOn can be found in Votan's Fisherman by @votan73. I simply wanted the indicator to be in static solid bold red text.
Votan's Fisherman and FishAlerter by "hawry" was studied extensively to make this addOn.
Conclusion:
Not tested with multiple languages, not tested extensively. Recommend using alongside Votan's Fisherman for a comprehensive fishing experience.

Installation:
Drag and drop in Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns folder
Versions:
1.2 Added "Mystic Fishing Hole" and "Oily Fishing Hole" to the fishingHoles list so that the addOn can now recognize and perform with the two aforementioned fishing holes.
1.1 Unregistered events and added event-filters where possible.
Known Bugs:
Will register "fish on the hook" and display "FISH" when if player aborts fishing and then uses an potion/consumable. (the lowering of stack count of any item the player currently have in his backpack/craft bag)
Temporary solution: Use the fishing hole again or any interactable.
