I go to check on it 5 mins later and my fisher is dead in the middle of moonglow...uh ?? has this ever happened to you ?

Any macroing of a skill which can gather resources of any kind is only allowed if you're at the keyboard.

Fishing unattended for skill is only permitted from shore, but the reson your dead in moonglow is not related to that, there are other reasons not to fish in deep water unattended.

If you log out or are disconnected for long enough for your char to "leave the world" and your boat continues moving, when you log back in you'll be in the middle of the water without a boat under you and will be transported to the nearest shore.
