Information back from the front!

At least for the lower-tier bait + Murkray, it's pretty straight forward out on the Ocena tiles.

Find the "Rushing Pools", drop either Day or Night bait or Murkray if you're after that. (Only confirmed this for Ocean area at the moment.) Within about 30s, you should get 2-4 of the special fish spawned. 3 seems the average. There appears to be a 3-5 minute reload on the "rushing pools" before the Bait works again. Or track down where the pools move.

I'm fairly certain, at this point, that Bait does nothing without the "rushing pools" effect. It explains why the Night bait can spawn a bunch of Lungfish if you use it during the night and the pools effect.

On the Spears, Volt makes it easier, but the Spears also appear to have a larger Cone if it's against the proper fish. You don't have to be as precise if you have the correct Spear for the fish. Though I wish there was a faster way to switch between them.
