Catching Oily Blackmouth

• Commentary: Up to 25% of the catch from open water can be Oily Blackmouth. Mid-skill areas, such as the Wetlands, seem to be best for open water fishing of Oily Blackmouth. Overall, pool fishing is normally more efficient. The lowest skill areas (The Barrens, Darkshore, Silverpine Forest, and Westfall) contain only Lesser Oily Blackmouth School and Floating Debris Pool, so the chance of finding an Oily Blackmouth in these areas should be higher.
