Bobber finding and Hearing is parallel threads.

Bobber finding searches differences between before cast and after cast screenshots, than previous bobber positions ordered by occurence.

If bobber not found while fish hearing it searches 2 seconds more for bobber, so has a possibility to catch fish even instant fish hear on cast.

Bobber recheck on hook, so if bobber moves a little it will find again.

Has log file for debugging purposes.

Can capture fishing cursor with hotkey for more precision bobber finding.
