Driftwood
Icy water, no problem
Bright ice floes, dark fjords or green harbour water: the bobber is found as the one new detail in the water you just cast into.

Lures handled
Driftwood reads your lure buff next to the minimap and re-applies it between two casts before it runs out.
Setup in 5 steps
A one-time setup in the game options – then press Start.
- Borderless windowed mode
Video options: windowed (fullscreen window), UI scale 1.0, effects at least “medium” so the splash is visible.
- Enable auto loot
Interface → Controls → Auto Loot. Driftwood confirms every catch by the loot.
- Bind fishing to a key
Put “Fishing” on an action bar key and set the same key in Driftwood's settings. Optionally bind your lure to a key as well.
- Zoom close to the water
Stand at the shore and zoom the camera in so the bobber lands in the middle to lower third of the screen.
- Start Driftwood

WotLK questions
Does it work on my realm?
Driftwood works with any server that runs the original 3.3.5a client, because it only looks at the screen. Whether automation is allowed is up to your realm – please check its rules first.
Do I need special add-ons or a modified client?
No. Driftwood runs as a separate Windows program next to the game. Add-ons that move the default buff frame can affect lure timer reading – then the lure interval takes over.
What if a bite is missed?
Driftwood checks that the fishing channel ends after each click. Missed casts are counted, and after several failures in a row it stops by itself instead of clicking around.
What happens when I alt-tab?
Driftwood pauses as soon as the game loses focus and continues when you return.
