Using any enchanted or nonenchanted fishing rod no longer produces any fish or "garbage" items; enchanted fishing rods, enchanted bows, enchanted books, nautilus shells, nametags, lily pads, pufferfish, & saddles are the only obtainable items.
I've done a 100-run test using a fishing rod with Unbreaking III & Lure III (no Luck of the Sea) & here are the results: 21% of the loot was books, 18% fishing rods, 15% bows, 14% nautilus shells, 14% lily pads, 9% saddles, & 9% nametags. I recalled that the pufferfish I have was obtained by directly killing them in a warm ocean.
I've also tested with unenchanted fishing rods, but doing a 100-run trial would take a long time. Suffice it to say fish are still unattainable that way.
This was tested in a beach biome & cold ocean, I believe.
The screenshots display the following, in order: fishing rod enchantments, 25 runs, 50 runs, 70 runs, & 100 runs (chest filled up before I could get to 75), & the items organized by type in the last two screenshots. If fore whatever reason the screenshots aren't in that order, refer to the file name, i.e. Screenshot (6-14).png.

Hi, Auldrick. I added pufferfish to the list. I've tried this with an unenchanted fishing rod, one with just mending//unbreaking, lure III, you name it. I'll do 100 runs with a lure III (no luck of the sea) & post the image here.
Yes, enchanted bows are in the fishing loot table.
It sounds like something is overriding your loot table. Do you have any add-ons in the world? Is this your own world or one you got from somebody else?
Ah, I can see from your screenshots that you're using an add-on, at least a texture pack. See if you get the same results without any.
This is completely vanilla with resource packs. I've earned achievements in this world, even today. This world originally came from a corrupt file, but the chunks themselves are 1.12+ generated, with all other features working as expected (aside from bugs).
Ah, OK. When I was recovering the world files, I changed my "luck" value to 800. I guess that value doesn't change in gameplay. I set it to 0 & I'm getting pufferfish, cod, & salmon. I might do another 100 trials with a Luck of the Sea-enchanted fishing rod to see the difference.
I had no idea the luck value made any difference in gameplay! I thought it was a residual feature that never got implemented.
It seems to be working properly for me. From 10 casts with a rod with Lure III and Luck of the Sea III, I got 4 salmon, 3 cod, a pufferfish, a lily pad, and a nautilus shell.
What enchantments do you have on your rod? How many times did you cast, and what did you get?
BTW, enchanted bows? Is that a thing you get from fishing? I don't remember that.
