Fishing macroFollow

I am making a macro that lets me equip my fishing rod and fish on the same key. What would i need to type to actualy fish (i.e. throw out the bobbler and catch the fish). I have simply tried '/fish' which didnt work. Please could somebody tell me the correct command. Thanks

I'm not sure you can do this with a macro. Catching the fish requires a keystroke following input from the game - the bobber moves - and the cursor must be in position at the time. So, the macro would have to cast a line, then wait for the bobber to move, then immediately "catch" the fish, all while the cursor is in position over the bobber.

It's certainly beyond my ability. Although you did not ask for opinions, I would add that such a macro would take most of the "feel" out of fishing. It would become rote, and not resemble fishing at all. I am one of the people who enjoy fishing and would not use such a macro.

Meanwhile, if you simply want to be able to switch back and forth between fishing rod and weapon (and at the same time change into and out of fishing gear, such as gloves with + fishing enchant or any of the gear won in the fishing tournament), then as already suggested, Fishing Buddy is a great add-on. You can tell it what to switch, and as long as those items are in your bag it will switch all of them at the same time. Great if you get jumped and need to switch back to your weapon real quick.

Thanks for the replys.

I clearly didnt explain what i meant by 'fishing'. You know when you drag the fishing ability from your spellbook onto your ability bar, and click it (bobler gets thrown out)? Thats what i meant. I didnt mean to say that the macro would click the bobbler too. So does anyone know the command for this?

Thanks again.

In case you don't want to use an add-on, the macro should probably look like this:

/equip <name of your fishing pole>
/cast Fishing

worked perfectly, thank you.
