Nerd's Hardcore Fishing Helper

This is a project I developed for myself to help with fishing in World of Warcraft Classic Hardcore. My inspiration for this were addons such as PaldasFishbringerReloaded but I wasn't happy with the per cent chance to catch fish or estimated number of fish needed to be caught to increase a skill point. As far as I know, it should work in other Classic versions of the game. I have not tested it there. The addon was written with the aid of Google, allegedly it is using the current Blizzard API so it should avoid issues until the API is changed. This is my first addon and I welcome feedback, both positive and negative.

Features:

Double right mouse click to autocast. A message showing estimated catch chance, estimated number of fish needed to catch to level up a skill point, a reminder to add a lure if you catch chance is below 100% and how much of a bonus you need from the lure to get to 100%. Also shows the skill level needed for a zone for 100% chance to catch a fish. The underlying math is dependent upon my understanding of the fishing profession, the estimates may be off by a little due to the random number generation during the game.

If you try this, I hope you find it useful and enjoy using it. I MAY add additonal features as they are requested (provided my skill and google can accomplish it).
