I'll help get the ball rolling on this.
My fishing skill was at 11 as of June 25th. On a whim I thought I'd try fishing in Western Adoulin at the docks near the Waterfront, using your same theory of quicker skillups via Ionis.
I got more skillups in 30 minutes getting my fishing to 14 than I did getting my fishing skill from 0-11 during the old fishing days.
Halcyon Rod / Composite Rod
Sabiki Rig
I caught Mackerel, Quus, Senroh Sardine (Small Fish), and Barnacles (Item message!) Composite Rod gave me the "Too Small" message for the fish.
For some reason, skill ups stopped abruptly when I hit 14.
I tried fishing in Eastern Adoulin to mix it up, but it's the same body of water (you can see the other side of town over the docks), so I fished up the same things.
I tried Rala Waterways earlier today, but all I could find with different baits were Crayfish and Moat Carp.
