FishermansFriend
FishermansFriend is a fishing helper addon.
FishermansFriend does the following when you equip a fishing rod:
- Enhance Sounds so you can hear the fishing bobber better, and ofcourse restore your original settings when you remove the rod.
- Add doublerightclick autocasting.
- When attempting to doublerightclick autocast FishermansFriend can also use the Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat or automatically apply your best lure.
- Automatically turn on Auto-Looting items when you have a fishing rod equipped.
FishermansFriend uses the itemids for lures etc, and should work on every language client even though the configuration might not be translated in your language yet.
You can open the options panel by /fmf or /fishermansfriend or via Esc -> Interface Options -> AddOns.
Enjoy.

Please update it to work with the artifact fishing pole! :D
Edit: Richards comment below me works!
I have downloaded the r132, dated Aug 4, 2016. I made sure to add the latest pole as suggested, but I am still not able to get this to work. Any other suggestions on how to get this addon to work with Legion? This is one of my favorite addons and it's making me crazy not having it!
poleID update for new Underlight Angler:
local poleIDs = {
[6256] = true, -- Fishing Pole
[6365] = true, -- Strong Fishing Pole (+5)
[6366] = true, -- Darkwood Fishing Pole (+15)
[6367] = true, -- Big Iron Fishing Pole (+20)
[12225] = true, -- Blump Family Fishing Pole (+3)
[19022] = true, -- Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000 (+20)
[19970] = true, -- Arcanite Fishing Pole (+40)
[25978] = true, -- Seths' Graphite Fishing Pole (+20)
[43651] = true, -- Crafty's Pole (+1000)
[44050] = true, -- Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole (+30)
[45858] = true, -- Nat's Lucky Fishing Pole (+25)
[45991] = true, -- Bone Fishing Pole (+30)
[45992] = true, -- Jeweled Fishing Pole (+30)
[46337] = true, -- Staat's Fishing Pole (+3)
[52678] = true, -- Jonathan's Fishing Pole (+3)
[84660] = true, -- Pandaren Fishing Pole (+10)
[84661] = true, -- Dragon Fishing Pole (+30)
[116825] = true, -- Savage Fishing Pole (+30)
[116826] = true, -- Draenic Fishing Pole (+30)
[118381] = true, -- Ephemeral Fishing Pole (+100)
[133755] = true, -- Underlight Angler (+60)
}
Thank you - this change I could manage :D
Along the same lines, I added the following for Shadowlands:
[180136] = true, -- The Brokers Angle'r (+15)
This is failing because of a few changes to the API, here's a hint as to how to make it work ...
replace this ;
--local _,_,itemid,_,itemname = string.find(link or "", "item:(%d+):%d+:%d+:%d(.*)%[(.*)%]")
--itemid = tonumber(itemid)
with this ;
itemid = GetContainerItemID(bag, slot)
Or download the latest version on the project site. Add Richard's fix for the new pole and it is working fine.
This is a great and handy addon, Please update it! Thanks
I have one request, when getting a fish that gives rep to Nat Pagle, could you play that quest complete sound?
Thank you for your awesome addon!
Could you add the feature again, to auto use Captain Rumsey's Lager http://www.wowhead.com/item=34832 ? It's a part of fishing to have enjoy a good lager! :D
Please updated this for WoD. FishingAce doesn't seem to work and isn't near this addon in working features :)
FishingAce! does everything that this addon does and has been in development for longer.
Bump for an update to 5.2, love the addon. Thanks!
2 fix the double-clicking:
first we need to get your fishing pole/rod's item ID:
1) open an item-database lie for exmaple wowhead.com
2) find your fishing pole, the url in the browser should now be something like: http://www.wowhead.com/item=19022. this number, is your fishing pole's item ID.
Now, we need to add that ID to the list of fishing poles in the addon:
1) open the FishermansFriend.lua file with notepad or similar
2) search for this text: local poleIDs = {
3) Add your fishing pole to the list by it's item ID.
This an example where I added Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000:
local poleIDs = {
[6256] = true, -- Fishing Pole
[6365] = true, -- Strong Fishing Pole +5
[6366] = true, -- Darkwood Fishing Pole
[6367] = true, -- Big Iron Fishing Pole +20
[19022] = true, -- Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000
[19970] = true, -- Arcanite Fishing Pole +40
[25978] = true, -- Seths' Graphite Fishing Pole +20
[44050] = true, -- Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole +30
[45858] = true, -- Nat's Lucky Fishing Pole +25
[45991] = true, -- Bone Fishing Pole +30
[45992] = true, -- Jeweled Fishing Pole +30
[12225] = true, -- Blump Family Fishing Pole
[46337] = true, -- Staat's Fishing Pole
[52678] = true, -- Jonathan's Fishing Pole
[84660] = true, -- Pandaren Fishing Pole +10
[84661] = true, -- Dragon Fishing Pole +30
}
Thanks for this Gulvklud. Works a treat and Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000 was the rod that was missing in my LUA file. Just followed your instructions and happiness restored...
Wicked...
Took me a while to have an issue with this as all of my toons (75+) use the [44050] Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole.
Didn't even think about looking at the LUA file to see if all the fishing rods were listed when I started fishing with my Panda and Banker toons.
Well done Gulvklud . . and thanks.
I still dont get why [Captain Rumsey's Lager] havent been added to the addon? I've brought this up earlier and it seems like a good idea to have this, so that u can auto apply lures aswell as this brew to always have max fishing skill :)
double click to cast works fine but looting is having major issues. Internal Bag Error pops up in red on screen. It fails to autoloot and the loot is lost. Turning off autoloot doest fix the issue.
Edit: I disabled the addon. Renabled. Turned off auto lookign in options. This seemed tof ix it but oddly enough it is still auto looting even witht he setting not checked.
You may have another mod that does it. I've got broker_garbage, and it has its own auto loot setting. If I have both of them on, I constantly get 'you can't loot that' or 'you can't carry any more of those' when looting quest items.
Not sure why this no longer works since 5.0.4 for me but sadly it doesn't. I thought the double-rightclick wasn't working because I had the Blizzard option "Click to Move" switched on so I switched it off but still nothing. It won't cast, or auto-lure when I have my fishing rod equipped which means it's useless to me, and I so love this addon :(
(I think this might be the same problem Kiwigal is having)
P.S. I have tried unticking all the options for this addon in the interface, and then re-ticking them but that hasn't sorted it either...thought I'd mention that.
