Minecraft – Do visual glitches affect the way you fish

minecraft-java-edition

Often when using my indoor pool, I have to aim my rod quite shallow (so it doesn't hit the other end of the pool), and as a result my bob often floats above the water (i.e. it isn't in the water but floats about one block above it). Does having the bob float outside the water (in what appears to be a visual glitch) affect your ability to fish or is it simply just a client-side visual glitch?

In addition, would fishing so my rod hits the edge of the indoor pool after being cast (not landing on but sliding across the water so it hits the side) also affect my ability to fish?

According to this website, depth nor position of the bobber or player affect fishing in any way. Fishing works the way it should in any depth of water.
