For more details, read the Contests chapter. There are no pools around Jaguero Isle, which also has slightly different open water catches and a higher skill requirement (see below).
- Commentary: The Goblins have blighted some of the most beautiful beaches in Azeroth with various pieces of (technologically backward) industrial machinery.
- Quests: There are several quests associated with winning the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza. In addition, Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme (from Nat Pagle in Dustwallow Marsh) requires a Savage Coast Blue Sailfin. This can be caught from the "Southern Savage Coast", which covers part of the coast south to Booty Bay. The fish can only be caught with this quest. Cannot be caught while in a raid group. For more details read Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme.
