Fishing Buddy (Classic)
A fishing addon that keeps track of the fish you catch and helps manage your fishing gear.
Features:
- Double-click fishing
- '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
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
Known Issues:
This is an early release for Classic and I'm attempting to share as much code as possible. There will be issues.
- Graphical issues everywhere -- the tabs are weird and the model doesn't show up in the outfit frame
- EasyLures doesn't apply lures for everyone -- still looking for why
Feel free to send comments to Sutorix=AT=hotmailDOTcom.
Please add links to Fishing Buddy retail and Fishing Buddy Crusade to the description. Thanks!

Shoot. Okay, let me go see what I can do.
I'm getting around 20 LUA errors a second in the BCC version, the errors only start once a fishing pole is equipped.
Sadly as the error log is resetting so fast I can't manage to copy it, I did manage to see that TradeSkill Master is included in the errors though.
?? Two Questions. So I'm running FB(Classic) 7.5.2 because the newer ones had a problem where the button disappeared etc,
Is it safe to do the update that WowUp tells me about?
Does the WoW BCC cover my toons as they level up through both areas or do I need to have both the Classic and BCC??
In reply to WoWEye:
In 0.7.5.5 I still have the problem that I cannot wear my fishing pole by clicking on the minimap button. If WowUp tells you the current version is 1.16.6 then don't install the update, 0.7.5.5 is the current tbc version.
In reply to WoWEye:
If you're playing BCC you need "Fishing Buddy (Crusade)", if you're playing "Classic Era" Classic you need "Fishing Buddy (Classic)".
One problem might be that the .toc file has:
## X-Curse-Project-ID: 15093
## X-WoWI-ID: 4239
when the Curse Project ID for Classic is 340577 (and Crusade is 500433). I'm not sure how your WoWInterface projects are arranged so I'll leave that to you to figure out.
In reply to bsmorgan:
That may have done it! Thanks!
So, anyone have any ideas on why all of the addon managers can't tell that the versions are specific for Classic and Crusade and don't apply to Retail? Do I have to change the name of the folders/TOC files?
In reply to Sutorix:
In the TBC folder you have 2 x TOC files, one for TBC and one for Classic, delete the Classic one.
Try also to change this in the TBC one:
## Title: Fishing Buddy (Classic)
to:
## Title: Fishing Buddy (Classic TBC)

Thank you, I think I have it all sorted now!
Version 0.7.6 Beta 1
- Let's try separate versions for Classic and Crusade
The BCC version is now at Fishing Buddy (Crusade), we'll see how this works out.
I have been looking a little at that EasyLure
I think the reason that it's not working for everyone is that they have different skills and the skill in the addon is wrong for some zones.
Example.
Right now I'm fishing in "Azshara - The Shattered Strand" there the addon say: "Fishing 75 - 100%"
No lure applied but it's needed as the zone require skill 300 and I'm only skill 277
If I then move to "Azshara - Bay of Storms" the addon say: "Fishing 425 - 78%"
Here lure is applied as it should be as I’m way below skill 425, only skill 277
I found the skill's here if you need them:
https://wowwiki-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Fishing_skill_requirements_by_zone
And thanks a lot for the addon, I would never fish without it. :)
>>> EDIT <<<
Just to test out my theory I have added a line in: LibFishing-1.0.lua
Line 1565: ["The Shattered Strand"] = 300,
Now lure is applied as it should. ;)
If it's the right way to do it ? I don't know. :)
>>> EDIT 2 <<<
The link I just posted with fishing skill is not 100% accurate.
“Azshara - The Shattered Strand” is according to the list 300, but at 382 (+25 pole and 75 lure) I still get "Your fish got away"
I would guess it is around 400 for the 100% catch rate.
I will see if I can find a better list, or maybe someone already knows an accurate list ?
In reply to SubbyDK:
I'm in the process of making separate versions for Classic and Crusade, which should help keep things straight.
In reply to Sutorix:
Sounds good mate, will be looking forward to it. ;)
Sutorix, Just want to Thank You for the work you put into keeping this alive for us!
My fishing buddy disappeared!!! but I downloaded the update "Lets try that again, shall we?" lol
FYI, when I try to have the addon remove some cloths, such as my chest piece so I can see my beautiful Blue linen shirt, I am told "Only soul shards can be placed in that." (warlock) The only way I can get it to remove my clothes is to actually have items set up to go in their place.
Please.... figure out... how to...... take my clothes off? XD
