Combine it with my other addon Speedy Autoloot for a seemless fishing experience Speedy AutoLoot (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/speedyautoloot)

Open AddOn Settings with /bf or /betterfishing or go to Options > AddOns > Better Fishing, you can enable Enhanced Sound or Double Click to cast there.

Better Fishing allows you to Fish and Hook with a single keybind. It uses Dragonflights and Wrath (since 3.4.1) new Soft Targeting accessibilty feature which lets you target NPCs and Objects (the fishing bobber is an object) with camera only and use the Interact key to interact with the target. This addon combines the features onto a single key. Double Click (with Right Click) to cast is also supported but has to be enabled via options (/bf or /betterfishing).

Note for Classic Era and Mists users: The range of soft targeting is currently fixed and too low for fishing range, so a bobber cast too far away can not be hooked via keybind and you will have to use your mouse so you may want to preferably use double click fishing.

Go to Settings > Keybindings > Better Fishing> Cast and Interact to set keybinds

How to Fish after binding the key:

  1. Press the key to start fishing
  2. Wait for the fishing sound
  3. Press the key to interact with the bobber
  4. Repeat

Did you know? You can use Controller Bindings to fish too!
/console GamePadEnable 1 to enable gamepad mode
/console GamePadEnable 0 to disable gamepad mode again
In the keybinding UI you can then bind your controller key, and use that to fish with, sit back and relax
Use the fantastic ConsolePort addon if you want a controller optimized UI
