This is the "everything but anchovies" version -- the download contains all of the Fishing Buddy related add-ons in one convenient package. A full-service fishing add-on.

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

Features:
- 'Easy Cast' lets you double-right-click to cast when a Fishing Pole is equipped
'Easy Lures' will put a lure on if you need one
'Auto Loot' will turn on the auto-loot function if it's not on already (but only while you fish)
- '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
- Full Titan Panel support
- myAddOns support
- Preliminary 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

There are two actual add-ons -- the second one, OutfitDisplayFrame, handles the pretty pane to set up your fishing outfit (it's next on the list to be made into something more general that anyone can use). The OutfitDisplayFrame addon can be safely left out if you have a preferred equipment manager.

alt-clicking on an item in your outfit display will clear it

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).

Thanks to the authors of:

TackleBox -- the original!

and many, many others.

    Thank you for fixing this. It works great now with 2.4.3 WoW.

    Easy-cast seems to be trapping the right-click event and not releasing it, as of today's patch. 1: change outfits to Fishing Buddy, 2: double-click near a lake, 3: nothing happens. Try to turn around via right-click steering, and nothing happens. Problem persists until /reloadui

    I got impatient and added sound in backround :)

    Added these lines to FishingBuddy.lua:


    Line 1844: local sb = tonumber(GetCVar("Sound_EnableSoundWhenGameIsInBG"));
    


    Line 1853: efsv["Sound_EnableSoundWhenGameIsInBG"] = sb;
    


    Lines 225-26:  
             ["EnhanceSound_EnableSoundWhenGameIsInBG"] = {
                      ["default"] = 1.0,
             },

    Line 1844: local sb = tonumber(GetCVar("Sound_EnableSoundWhenGameIsInBG"));

    Line 1853: efsv["Sound_EnableSoundWhenGameIsInBG"] = sb;

    Lines 225-26:
    ["EnhanceSound_EnableSoundWhenGameIsInBG"] = {
    ["default"] = 1.0,
    },

    -- Can you please add the following two lines to FISHINGWATCHER.LUA
    -- base code so i can stop adding them every version ?
    -- Just lists the Total Skill Level instead of forcing me to add it all up
    -- search for Skill: and replace that line with these two lines. Thnks

    local totallevel = skill + mods;
    local line = "Skill: |cff00ff00"..skill.."+"..mods.." (Total = "..totallevel..")|r";

    Perhaps a command to go to the outfits directly? I can't seem to find a way to get directly to the particular window itself (had to do a manual reinstall due to something that was my fault, but regardless I used to be able to go via-tab or ctrl+click.) Now it just "no outfit found" or something other.

    There's a preview of 0.9.4l up at http://sutorix.spaces.live.com/ in the "Public Folder". Enjoy -- if you don't mind possible bugs :-)

    what about fish tracking? when I click 'change outfit', how about automatically turning on fish tracking for me?

    Oh, you mean "Find Fish" -- it's on my list of things to add. :-)

    Thanks for adding sound in background :)

    One more request - how about adding "Sharpened Fish Hook" to the lures applied with "auto lure"?

    Any chance of getting "Sound in Background" enabled while fishing?

    I don't touch the Sound In Background setting, so if it's on it should stay on, even while fishing...

    I don't usually have it on. But I tend to minimize when fishing. Would be nice to have it automatically turn on when I fish :)

    Any idea if you're going to be able to add sound in background? Would make FB perfect! :)

    @Oddible -- there's a bug on Blizz's side with Auto-loot and fishing. I haven't found a way around it yet. Or, at least, there was. FB doesn't recast unless the loot window is closed...

    Having a problem with Auto-Loot. When I have it turned on (with EasyCast) its hit or miss. Sometimes it loots just fine, sometimes it just leaves the loot screen open and recasts, sometimes it closes the loot window and doesn't loot at all - it registers the fish in the list but I don't get the fish in my bags (this happened on the daily fishing quest - I saw the fish appear in the loot window and in Fishing Buddy's list but it never appeared in my bag). This just started happening since 2.4 with 0.9.4h.

    Thanks for the great addon!!

    I'm having the same problem when using Easy Cast to double click catches.

    Here's another thing I keep running into... I'm not sure if there's a decent solution to this. So.. I have my fishing outfit with blue overalls, fishing hat, etc. But I only really wear them when I attend the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza. Outside of that, all of the fishing gear except for my pole sits in my bank. When I try to switch between fishing mode and normal mode after I've set up my full gear, I get an error that certain items could not be found.

    Wouldn't it make more sense to just equip the items that can be found and ignore the ones that can't be found? (But then... what happens to the slot for which the item can't be found? Should the slot be emptied or the currently equipped item left unchanged?)
