My Salty 90 shaman has the following equipped as a fishing set: Head: Nat’s Hat Shoulders: Puncture Binding Spaulders Shirt: Red Lumberjack Shirt Wrist: Antique Silver Cufflinks Pole: Mastercraft Kalu’ak Fishing Pole (with High Test Eternium Fishing Line, +5 fishing) Hands: Heavy Linen Gloves (with Angler enchant, +5 fishing) Waist: Azure Silk Belt Legs: Bloodsail Pants Feet: Boots of the Bay Ring 1: Dread Pirate Ring Ring 2: Stendel’s Wedding Band Trink 1: Hook of the Master Angler Trink 2: Spyglass of the Hidden Fleet Buffs: Ancient Pandaren Fishing Charm, Sharpened Tuskarr Spear (+15 fishing), Captain Rumsey's Lager (+10 fishing) Might have any of the following pets out: sea pony, giant sewer rat, tiny white carp, any of the 4 crocolisks, magical crawdad, strand crawler Possibly riding one of these mounts: sea turtle, water strider, fishing raft My thoughts on my choices: Head: If you have Nat's friendship, there is no alternative to his hat. Otherwise, the usual suspects are great. Shoulders: I read a post by Weller who suggested the green whelp shoulderguard. I liked the look, and found that there were four different color versions from transmog armor sets: Flowing Water Armor, navy/bronze; Gilt Armor, olive/light brown; Gloria's Work Armor, brown; Jangdor's Armor, maroon/olive. Nice to have a choice. Shirt: Lumberjack and workman’s shirts look great. Captain Sander’s shirt is too flesh toned to really show up, although it seems appropriate. Bloodsail shirt might be a good choice if you have already done the rep grind for it. Wrist: What else is there for fishing but cufflinks? Pole: To be honest, if I ever manage to take first again in the STV contest, Phrin will probably equip the arcanite pole. In its absence, an epic pole seems fine. For everyday fishing, Phrin doesn’t use a pole at all. Hands: Plenty of options here. The +5 Angler enchant does not appear to stack with the eternium fishing line. Waist: I also like Captain Sanders’ Sash, or the Bloodsail sash. Legs: I tried Haliscan pants and tuxedo pants. Both look good. Again, Weller made a good suggestion regarding smelter’s pants. These are easily farmable from Deadmines, and look good. Feet: the Extreme Anglin’ Boots are a great alternative. Unlike the Boots of the Bay, the Extreme Anglin’ Boots will take an enchant. I added the minor speed enchant, and Phrin wears them during the STV contest for the run from the inn to Riggle Bassbait. The extra 8% speed might make a difference.... Rings: The 1 ring and 2 ring are good alternatives. Stendels band is rarer than the 2 ring and may be on par with the 1 ring, according to Wowhead. Trinks: The one time Phrin won the STV contest, I picked the hook. There is nothing else I know of in the game that turns you into a fish. The spyglass is a drop from Serpent Shrine Caverns. Phrin didn’t get Nat’s broken reel before it left the game. I’m sure there are other trinks that work well. Unequipped slots: No neck, chest, back or tabard. Didn’t like the look of blue overalls on this toon. Alligator teeth necklace might work for the neck. Didn’t find a cloak or tabard that looked right with the rest, although if I was to equip a tabard it would be the Anglers’. Happy to be mostly done with the ensemble. Fish on.

Pretty much gave up on fishing entirely in frustration with it. Then today I ended up deciding "i'm going to try farming it again on the fishing pool of the day up in Kun Lai. So, I strapped on my Ancient Pandaren Fishing Charm and ended up fishing it up in about 10 casts. It showed up second on the list of things that I had caught, i.e. Spinefish Sea Turtle so, I'm assuming that means that the turtle was the "bonus" fish from the charm.
