About Fishing Buddy

Fishing Buddy
-------------

A fishing addon that keeps track of the fish you catch and helps manage your fishing gear.

Features:
- Double-click fishing
- Supports the new WoW "fish without a pole" feature
- Bring out your fishing pets! Drink heavily!
- 'Fish Watcher' lets you see the fish you've caught here before (or the fish that you've caught in the current session)
- Display your current skill level and the time since you started fishing
- Choose your fishing outfit and change into it easily
- Support for automatically adding a lure to your fishing pole
- Support for tracking 'cycle fish' such as the Nightfin Snapper so you know when to go looking for them

Example commands:
/fishingbuddy or /fb
toggle the display of the Fishing Buddy window
/fb help
print the list of Fishing Buddy commands
/fb switch
wear your chosen fishing outfit, or change back

Silly stuff:
In addition to displaying the fishing bonus for your fishing outfit, it also displays your 'style points' as inferred from Draznar's Fishing FAQ (http://wow.toshimo.com/viewtopic.php?t=272).

    Could you explain how the "only cast in pools" option works, or is supposed to work? It doesn't quite work for me, but I don't see how it could.

    And FB automatically drinks captain rumsey's lager! awesome!!
  • #447
    Thanks Sutorix! I'm so addicted to that double-click feature to loot and auto-rebait hook on Fishing Buddy. It's a wonderful addon.
  • #446
    @all -- the code that attempts to make sure you don't cast while you're trying to loot is being confused by the way the Fishing Bobber tooltip fades out. I'm trying to find a workaround now.
  • #448
    Fishing is such a great addon. I appreciate your effort to work on the double-click to recast. I have noticed with 0.9.7f that if the double-click is very quick the recast happens. A tad slower and it doesn't. Hope this helps. Again, thanks for a great add-on.

    I love Fishing Buddy, it's a must for me when fishing! However, I am having an issue that I cannot double right click cast to fish? Has anyone else had this problem? I will post the error that I am getting below,

    I am having the same problem as this poster... since about 2 updates ago I have been unable to recast by double right clicking, although at least I am getting all ma loot now I used to find that sometimes it would recast so quickly I wud lose ma loot.
  • #444
    I can right click to cast, but if I try to recast before the bobber vanishes completely, it does not work. I have been casting using a hotkey.

    My autolure has not worked since last patch though.
  • #439
    This issue has been posted below, but I didn't see any word of a resolution. At the moment, the only way to "turn on" FB in game is to manually equip the fishing pole. Any way we'll be able to do the same with the Equip Manager?
  • #437
    Can we get the "junk" from too low level to stop showing up in the history? Things like driftwood and tattered cloth. It's really annoying and it clutters the history display.
  • #435
    The casting time of this new version is too low, going back to a previous release..
  • #438
    I found that double clicking to cast was too slow for me also, like a 1 second delay or so. Went back to 0.9.7c and the delay went away.
  • #441
    is this (re)cast delay a bug or a new feature?

    this delay is (almost ;-) long enough to grab a cup of coffee before i can cast again. this drives me nuts!!! i'll have to quit FB if this is working as expected...
  • #432
    Use to be that when you double click the bobber, it loots and then recasts for you. What happened to this feature?

    ♪~ ( ) I My Sonos!

  • #434
    cannot do that anymore because every action has to have its own mouse click. the double clicking was to much in the form of automation. you need to right click on the bobber to loot, you can turn on autoloot), and double right click to cast again. you can double right click on the bobber with auto loot enabled however I have lost loot that way so do not recommend it.

    this is the same thing as using the cast button from your spellbook. right click on the bobber to loot and click on the cast to cast again. the doubt right click is just a convenience.
  • #442
    Heck there was a time when my trackball had a button programmed for a double right click. It caught, looted, and recast all on one push of a button. I sure miss that. It worked for almost two years then like magic just stopped.
