Tornado spawning on ship while afk fishing

I have been AFK fishing out in the same spot in Margoria for months, and tonight the first night I attempt to do so a waterspout spawned directly on top of me and chain CCd me until both me and my ship were dead. Is this an intended change? Is deep sea fishing just no longer an option?

 

UPDATE: Round 2 tonight, tried to find a crate to test AFK fishing from. Ghost ship spawned on top of me approximately 15 seconds after using Premium TP. It sailed off without attacking. Found a crate to try and swim to after about 15-20s of swimming with shark suit. A waterspout spawned directly on my character model and CCd me to death before I could reach it. All of this took place in less than a minute of TP into Margoria.
