If not for that Damn level 19 N.Elf Priest twink fishing in my best area, I'm sure i would have won, *mutter* wish 'a could'a kill'd 'er *mutter* </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/first-time-at-contest-and-first-time-win#post-204 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 13:31:32 +0000 Xathris 204@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Not sure if I'd qualify as a twink or not but it went pretty smooth.</p> <p>Used epic mount with riding crop, had seth's graphite fishing pole and about 1 min before start threw a +100 lure on it. (I believe I was around 224 fishing skill at the time..only up to 270 now)</p> <p>I started on the point directly south of the horde camp on west coast and was lucky enough to hit my first two schools of fish and start on third before I ran into people (I headed south at start). As soon as I ran into the crowd heading north, I mounted up and crossed the water just south of the horde camp..and moved north along the coast until I had to turn around and head south again. (at this point people began popping up everywhere)</p> <p>I skipped any pools that had 2 people already fishing in them and if I was fishing a pool and someone else started fishing it I'd take 2 fish and mount up for the next.</p> <p>I'm looking forward to seeing if running it the same route next week will work again. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/first-time-at-contest-and-first-time-win#post-201 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 08:52:51 +0000 Katura 201@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>gratz matey, I've been there several times and 3-4 times had the win stolen off me by 2 fish lol. you must have got very lucky.
