Fish & Tips

A lightweight World of Warcraft fishing addon: double-right-click to cast, auto-loot your catch, and track every fish by zone and subzone — session and lifetime, across all your characters. With Auctionator installed, it also shows what your session's catch is worth at auction, live, while you fish.

What it does

• Cast Fishing your way. A keybind, the classic double-right-click click-the-water cast, both, or off — your choice in the options. (Off by default; pick a mode to enable it.)
• Fishing-only auto-loot. You click the bobber; when the loot window opens while fishing, Fish & Tips loots the whole thing for you. Looting a mob or chest is left alone. Because the addon does the looting, your catch counts are exact — no fish slips past the counter (a long-standing annoyance with older trackers). On by default; toggle it in options or with /ft autoloot off.
• Per-location catch tracking. Every catch is logged by zone + subzone, with current-session and lifetime totals, per character plus an account-wide rollup — and a casts/catch-per-hour readout. Gray junk catches can be hidden from the stats with one toggle (shown by default — /ft junk off or the Include junk items option); they keep being tracked either way.
• Auctionator gold values. Fish to sell? If you have Auctionator installed, the stats window shows what your session is worth: each fish shows the value of your catch (count × auction price), and the footer and compact strip show a running session total. On by default (it only ever shows with Auctionator installed); turn it off under Show Auctionator prices or with /ft auc off.

The stats live in a movable window you can toggle from a slash command or the minimap button — and it can open itself when you start fishing — with your current spot highlighted:

Safety

Fish & Tips does nothing automatic that you didn't trigger. The cast happens on your keypress or double-click — through Blizzard's standard secure mechanism — and the loot only happens because you clicked the bobber: there's no loot window without your click, and the addon simply grabs what that window offered. So there's no automation, no "AFK fishing," and nothing against the Terms of Service. The addon cannot and does not detect the bobber splash; you fish, it keeps the books.

Support

Fish & Tips is free and always will be. If it lands you a few more fish, you can buy me a coffee. ☕
