I spent all day and night (probably 14 hrs total) Sunday fishing in HF for the Dark Herring. After a few hundred fish, I switched to the NELF starting zone. Caught ten of the 10 pounders, but no 15 pounder! Gave up about 2am.<br /> Started back in HF this morning and got tired of circling the damn lake so decided to take a quick run down the river. Second school down the river, I got it!<br /> Man, I'm glad thats over! Good luck all!!! :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/dark-herringcaught#post-7656 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 14:45:51 +0000 Enarka 7656@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>: ) Gratz, Jason.</p> <p>Mind you, I'm actually trying to find a very high populated server on which to roleplay as a Fisherwoman, full time!

I'd like to find two or three raiding guilds who need food supplies, on the same server, and would agree to buy said supplies from me at a set price!

In this case, I expected to catch thousands of fish with no luck, and happily was wrong. 156 catches in (all fished from pools around the lake) I got a dark herring. As mentioned, if you circle the lake, you'll only rarely find it empty of fishing nodes. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/northrends-pools-distribution-map#post-7615 Sat, 23 Jan 2010 07:18:41 +0000 Mightfish 7615@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Updated to version 1.1 !</p> <ul> <li>Added some <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/fish/musselback_sculpin_school.html" title="Fish Finder: Musselback Sculpin School.">Musselback Sculpin School</a></li> <li>You can click or mouseover on pools icon, to get information for the fishing pools. </li> </ul> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/northrends-pools-distribution-map#post-7611 Sat, 23 Jan 2010 00:21:06 +0000 Mightfish 7611@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><cite>Balazar <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/northrends-pools-distribution-map#post-7610" title="View original post.">wrote</a>:</cite></p> <blockquote><p>I note the link takes to you a web page, and the download link on the web page is to a .rar file.

I appreciate that Blizz want more people to fish, but for me, they're taken most of the fun out of it. And as for the ever-present gankers and gangs on mammoths at the Extravaganza... that's the only achievement missing from my title but even that isn't enough to motivate me to go back there. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-in-wotlk#post-6862 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 23:20:58 +0000 nonameform 6862@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I wonder what makes people fish in a school that's already being fished from? In the last few months I've met several people who preferred to fish from "my" school while there were other schools around. While I do understand that sort of behavior during Extravaganza (only before winner is announced), I don't understand what makes people think that it's OK to share a school with someone. If I see someone fishing in a school, I just leave it to them and move to the next one. If there are no schools, I just wait for a new spawn and go to it.</p> <p>For me fishing from "someone's" school is as disgraceful as collecting herb/ore while someone fights a mob near it. I've even seen people from my own faction doing that sort of things to me, which is a real shame. I think of them as of spoiled kids, who just believe that everything belongs to them and that it's OK to make other people do half of the job for you. I bet they belong to the same group of people who never tips.</p> <p>Today while farming mats for 60 fish feasts for my guild, I've met three people who just couldn't resist the urge to fish from the same schools as I did, even though there were schools 10-15 yards away from it. With all those new people getting into the fishing, I certainly find it less enjoyable to fish with every passing day. Even though my <a href="http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info4538-CirksBadapples.html">Badapples list</a> consists mostly of people who ninja loot, play their class poorly or just plain stupid people, it grows longer because I've started adding people who didn't tip or did something disgraceful in my opinion. I just wish Blizzard never bothered to make any changes to fishing at all. Compared to TBC, I see people fishing much more now, which actually makes it less exciting for me. Might as well just go to fish in Azeroth for all the rare fishes, just to be less annoyed of how crowded some pools are. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-addon-2#post-6723 Sun, 26 Jul 2009 22:06:51 +0000 Andrias 6723@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I am curious if anyone has found an AddOn that changes the color of your cast bar when your bobber bobs? Often times I fish while doing other things and if another fisherman/fisherwoman comes by, I lose sync with my fishing. If anyone knows of an AddOn like this, please let me know. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-in-wotlk#post-6654 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 11:44:17 +0000 nonameform 6654@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Looking back at how fishing skill had serious impact on your chance to catch something, I question why Blizzard has included BoP one hour lures that grant you +100 skill (<a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46006" title="Wowhead - Glow Worm." class="nocolor">Glow Worm</a>). Sure they might be very useful for leveling your fishing, but when you're at 450 skill you might as well want to vendor them. At least I did so with some of my lures, but then I decided to save them, in case Blizzard makes them normal lures some time in the future and I will be able to sell them at AH/transfer them to my alts.</p> <p>In vanilla WoW days you had to have maximum fishing skill and had to use best fishing gear and lures available, so you could fish in Bay of Storms for money. In TBC you had to be well geared too to be able to catch fishes in Terokkar's lakes. Now in WotLK you need a maximum skill and a 75 lure to be able to catch all fishes you need for <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43015" title="Wowhead - Fish Feast." class="nocolor">Fish Feast</a>. Zones that require you to have more than 525 skill don't actually provide better fishes. How many of you actually made more than one <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43478" title="Wowhead - Gigantic Feast." class="nocolor">Gigantic Feast</a>?</p> <p>I only need to win STV Extravaganza now for my title (got as close as 39 fishes so far) and I'm wondering what I will do after that. Sure it might be fun for some people to win the contest twice for both the trinket and the pole, but I don't feel like doing it twice and making it harder for other people to get the title. Compared to the Undying title I have, Salty requires much more work and patience, as losing the contest several weeks in a row when you thought that you are about to win it, is really sad. Well, at least I can spend the rest of the contest time to fish for money and possible rare catches (got only one <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=19971" title="Wowhead - High Test Eternium Fishing Line." class="nocolor">High Test Eternium Fishing Line</a> so far, so saving it for an <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=19970" title="Wowhead - Arcanite Fishing Pole." class="nocolor">Arcanite Fishing Pole</a> I hope to win someday).</p> <p>Overall fishing in WotLK seems uninteresting. Yes, I can make money by selling Fish Feast, as I have about 1k+ <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43007" title="Wowhead - Northern Spices." class="nocolor">Northern Spices</a> on my main char, but I want some excitement from the profession. I got all possible achievements, except for the one mentioned above and I want more. Maybe some really hard stuff like catching all those fishes, that got away. That would keep me busy for some time or catching 100k fishes, which isn't hard, but sure takes more time to get, than 1k for the title. I still have to see fishing rings and some of the rarer TBC fishing drops, such as crocs (make it an achievement too, come on), but all in all every time I think about fishing in WotLK, I get excited and then in a second I tell myself "Wait, there is nothing interesting to do actually."</p> <p>I'm not an angler, just a fisherman, a sissy by someone's standards as I didn't bother to level my fishing skill to maximum until WotLK arrived, but after that it became a way to pass time in game without mindless killing or farming reputation or whatever. </p>
