Fishing data after 4.0.3a
Jimbra, December 2010:
While waiting around in EPL to get nuked by Deathwing (still waiting...) I engaged in a little research fishing, to see if anything changed since the last patch.
I made 100 casts from the bridge just outside Light's Hope Chapel. I have 450 Fishing skill, and used a Kalu'ak pole with Eternium line...485 skill total. I deliberately did not use lures, to keep my skill at least somewhat closer to the zone level. Results:
49 Raw Redgill
1 37 Pound Redgill
21 Raw Sunscale Salmon
8 Raw Nightfin Snapper
7 Raw Mithril Head Trout
13 Oily Blackmouth
1 Lightning Eel (oddball catch, I think it must have been dumped from someone's aquarium)I have read that the Bloated Redgill can be caught in EPL, but my sample size must have been too small to capture it.
Hope this data helps someone.
