InstantHook

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

Manual installation

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