[Fishing] Keeping the cursor over the bobber

1. rakoth <Angler>, 1 year ago:

   When fishing I've noticed that with floating wreckage I often have to move the cursor a little while waiting for the bite to keep it over the bobber. Is there an addon or macro that would allow you to catch the fish when you click without having the cursor over the bobber, or one that would keep the cursor over it?

   For the record, I'm not trying to automate fishing. I'd just like to reduce my screen staring a little. Right now I use Fishing Buddy and am thinking about adding FishPing to help out, but having something to keep the cursor in the right spot would be nice. Then I could watch TV while I fish :)

   No, that's one of the thing Blizzard specifically prevents.

   What I will do if I'm "afk fishing" is move the cursor over the bobber right after I cast, then look somewhere else (forums, a movie, etc). Running WoW in windowed mode is great for this. Simply listen for the splash and right click when you hear it.
