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).

    I think I'm going to do the same, or find an alternative. =(

    Having the same problem.
  • #431
    Cannot seem to get the auto lure to stop. I have it unchecked and it still will try and use a lure when i double click to cast. Its really annoying....i dont use lures everytime i fish, so it needed to be fixed.

    Everything else works for me, but im soo annoying about the lure, ive disabled fishing buddy till its fixed.
  • #430
    Did a ticket on CurseForge and nothing so far, so am listing it here. Glow Worm is a reward from Dalaran Fishing daily. It is a +100 "bobber" that lasts for an hour. It is being over written by the other +100 bobbers (or hooks) and should not be. It should be listed as the highest bobber on the list so will not be over written. Please fix this as the other bobbers only last 10 mins and really should NOT over write this one.
    TIA
  • #429
    I can't seem to cast while a tooltip is active (such as the one saying 'Fishing Bobber'
  • #428
    I've lost the history. For awhile, I couldn't see anything but what I had fished since logon. With the latest release, I can see more, but only new, no history. Mine is nice as it covers lots of areas. I have old WTF dirs so I have the savedvariables from before - can I merge them?
  • #427
    I've lost my fishing history. For awhile, nothing showed. Download today and I can see what I've caught, but the history is gone. How can I get it back? I have old copies of the WTF files hanging around. Can the savedvariables be merged?
  • #425
    Seems Blizz's Equipment Manager has problems with fishing buddy. i made a set for fishing gear and one for regular gear. if i click the fishing set to fish then back to regular gear set the auto loot seems to stick until I equip and un-equip my pole again(manually). just an FYI
  • #424
    I have a problem with FB, it keeps trying to Autolure, even if it's disabled (grey'd out even in options), and every time I try to re-cast by double-rightclicking, it tries to apply lure... sometimes trying to apply another lure over an already existing lure.
    I've never used Autolure, nor do I care for it... so looking for a solution to disable it.
  • #426
    I'm having this problem also, and so is my husband. Will there be an update to fix it?
  • #423
    I'm having a problem with the latest versions of FB and Carbonite. The minimap icon doesn't show up with the Carbonite options "Move Minimap into Carbonite map" and "Move Minimap buttons into Carbonite button window". I have managed to get it to show up occasionally by typing /fb and unchecking then rechecking the appropriate checkbox, but I have to try each time I log in, and sometimes it just doesn't work. I would have posted this in the Carbonite section, since FB works fine without Carbonite, but every other addon's minimap button works fine, which makes me think FB is doing something different with its icon. I'm not sure if FB is supposed to play well with other AddOns; just thought I should put that out there.

    Also, I have an unrelated suggestion:
    The fishing statistics don't make any differentiation between pools and normal water. The problem with that is, if I go to a new area and fish only in pools, the statistics for that _area_ will show, for example, 90% Firefin Snapper. That's not indicative of the area, but of the Pool of Firefin Snapper. If I had fished in normal water, there wouldn't be any Firefin Snapper.
    Maybe, if there's no way FB can figure out whether or not I'm fishing in a pool (perhaps by tooltip before each cast?), then I could manually tell it with an "In a pool" checkbox or something similar.

    weird im fishin in frozen sea and now FB is working perfectly.... auto cast and auto loot
    weird
  • #419
    Can you please fix click casting?

    ♪~ ( ) I My Sonos!

  • #417
    Quite often I have to reload the first time I go to fish because the double-click-cast just doesn't work.
  • #414
    It seems there is a glitch in the autolure logic. It sometimes trys to put on a lure in spite of me having disabled the function. But only sometimes.
    I tried clearing the WTF files but problem remains.
