Instant Hook

A small quality-of-life mod for Voodoo Fishin' that removes the waiting period before a fish bites.

Normally you cast your line and wait for a random delay before a fish takes the bait. Instant Hook sets that delay to zero, so the moment your line hits the water the reel-in minigame begins. Less idle staring at the water, more actually fishing.

Features

• Removes the random fish bite delay entirely (min and max set to 0).
• The reel-in / tug minigame triggers immediately after casting.
• Lightweight — a single Harmony patch on the game's FishingManager, no other behavior changed.

Installation

With a mod manager (recommended)

Install through Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modman. The required BepInExPack IL2CPP dependency is installed automatically.

Manual installation

1. Install BepInExPack IL2CPP for the game (version 6.0.7.5 or compatible).
2. Download this mod and extract it.
3. Copy InstantHook.dll into your BepInEx/plugins folder.
4. Launch the game.

How it works

The mod uses HarmonyX to patch eFishing.FishingManager. On startup it overrides the _minFishBiteDelay and _maxFishBiteDelay values so the game never waits before triggering a bite. No game files are modified.

Compatibility

• Requires BepInEx 6 (IL2CPP).
• Built against the current Steam build of Voodoo Fishin'. If a game update changes the fishing logic, the patch may stop working until the mod is updated.

Notes

This mod only affects bite timing. It does not auto-catch fish or change catch rates — you still play the reel-in minigame yourself.
