Fishing up the Sea Turtle in Northrend- Post Cata.
cecilfirefox, January 2011:
Hey folks,
I've fished up the turtle mount twice on two different characters. Both we're in Northrend, in WOTLK days. My first was a Druid who maxed her fishing and eventually got it. The second was my DK who went from 1 to about 200 something and got it.
Now, I'm on my Goblin hunter, been fishing in Northrend for a week- stopped leveling, fishing nonstop, I want this mount before Vashj'ir. What I'm trying to ascertain now is whether or not you can still catch the mount in Northrend? Are we sure it's not JUST Cata pools, can we confirm it is still Northrend and Cata content?
And for what it's worth, I did manage to fish up the Dustbringer. :/
Selador, January 2011:
I don't know answer for your question, though i can tell you that u will get seahorse mount in of first quests in Vashj'ir that is even faster than Seaturtle, it can be used only there though.
cecilfirefox, January 2011:
I'm going to go for about an hour or so more- then just level and do it in cata pools. :/
cecilfirefox, January 2011:
Can anyone confirm getting it in Northrend pools post Cata? :/ This is taking so long.
Silvestas, July 2011:
I fished up the sea turtle mount today 05/07/2011 post Cata in a Fangtooth Herring School in Howling Fjord. It took around 250 casts while i was farming for the Dark Herring.

She can now be fished in Cataclysm fish pools. Much better money that way! :)
Mystrose, July 2011:
I started yesterday in Deepholm fishing the albino cave fish pools, moved to Hyjal for about 1/2 hour and ended up in Uldum. I fished for about 2hrs yesterday total. This morning, I continued in Uldum and hit every blackbelly mudfish pool I could find. I had about 90 casts and got the turtle. Wasn't hard at all... I guess I was just lucky. I have seen some with over 5k casts and never got the turtle. Just wish she was a fast mount, but oh she is way cute.
christos, August 2011:
Took me a little over 2 weeks and around 3,000 reels, all in Frozen Seas.. Not 100% sure on that number of reels though.. could be more, could be less!
And for what's its worth, this mount is awsome and a real treat.. especially when doing certain dailies and quests that require looting underwater.. hate to say it but I love breezing by someone on my turtle and looting that crab or barrel of rum or whatever item it may be before them..
renork, August 2011:
OMG OMG OMG you can ride the turtle and loot the crabs underwater on it?!?!? Wow I totally need to keybind the turtle now. I wonder if the reins of poseidus works like that also?
el, August 2011:
Renork - From memory, this changed in patch 4.1. Fairly sure it changed for all mounts.
Chimbo, August 2011:
My 1st post to celebrate catching this sweet mount.
Caught in Frozen Sea SE of Kalu'ak village of Unu'pe. My toon is only lvl 42 so I died quite a bit before I found this safe place to fish in Northrend with many pools spawning in a close area around two icebergs complete with penguin colonies. Elixir of water walking was essential for me.
I caught her in a Moonglow Cuttlefish pool with a bone fishing pole I won in an Org daily. Was already 525 fishing lvl. Took me about 2 weeks in real life over maybe a dozen sessions. Didn't have an add-on to keep track but I guess maybe 2000 or more casts?
Super excited. The advice I got from El's played a huge part. Thanks.
sparkly pools on the coast?
pomegranite, June 2009:
I haven't been able to find this--which may be my own doofusiliouness--but I can't find any reference to the sparkly pools on the coast of Northrend. I'm on Grizzly Hills in particular. The pools looks bubbly & sparkly, and are a few yards off the coast. Are they merely cosmetic or do they contribute anything to fishing itself?
Thanks a lot to anyone who doesn't think my question is too dumb to answer... I've been playing for a few years very casually (read: infrequently) and am not always up on everything.
