But how about these:<br /> How far apart are everyone else's fishing pools?<br /> How MANY FISH are in their pools? ; )</p> <p>These last two are of interest to us because we CAN control them.<br /> How? Well although it involves spending a good few hours beforehand for relatively small gain, some form of "preparation" is possible. I've noted that people tend to stop fishing pools as much a couple of hours before the contest starts. Starting last week i have begun "forcing" pools into a close group. In Grizzly Hills I succeeded (after a good half hour) Of emptying most of the southern Imperial Manta Ray pools and filling most of the eastern ray schools.</p> <p>However, this week i'm going to try something else: fishing as many pools as i can to reduce the number of fish in each pool (apart from mine on the east coast : P) Effectively all one does is fish 2-3 catches out of each pool so that only 1 or 2 fish remain in each pool. The theory being that competitors will take longer travelling between useless pools while I catch the shark and win : D Obviously it's gonna take some time to go around every pool in Northrend, and sure some lucky randomer with a fishing skill of 23 may still get it on his first catch, but it has to help SOMEHOW!</p> <p>I'm not sure if some will view this as cheating, but I for one think this is perfectly acceptable : )</p> <p>What do you guys think? Too much effort for too little gain?</p> <p>Also still wearing max fishing gear out of paranoia incase the skill does have some affect on your chances. :P any proof of that yet?</p> <p>Anyways thanks for reading, sorry if post is a bit lengthly. Will let you know if i end up with some nice boots or a broken computer and a sore fist! </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 was so excited I woke up my husband to tell him. He then spent the whole day hitting me with his turkey shooter. I haven't been trying to catch the turtle, was stocking up on Nettlefish and trying to lvl up to catch the Giant Rat. I did, of course mount immediately and wander around Ironforge, etc...<br /> I was in the center lake of the Basin when I caught him, and DO get the breath bar, so it has to be the pole. I had Nat's pole, sharpened fish hook, and that's it. I caught him about 5 minutes after reaching lvl 450. Keep up hope! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/biggest-concentration-of-pools-for-turtle-mount/page/3#post-7299 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:29:49 +0000 sooptime 7299@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I posted a week ago and shortly after, I landed her. I chose to go to the glaciers off of South Borean. Others were raiding but I decided to take it easy and do my usual routine fishing. It came out of a pool at the southern-most edge of the glaciers next to a small one. I used my fishing hat and one of the +100 glow worms. I couldn't tell you if it helped.</p> <p>I immediately mounted it and swam for shore with it and landed on the beach in east borean and took some screenies. He is definitely one of my favorites. I sit in Dal and pop him in and out of his shell. I take him off "run" and casually stroll with him.</p> <p>Btw, I had fished up over 18K items by the time I got her. My friend has her on 2 of her toons now, but she is just lucky that way. Some of us have to be more persistent. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/biggest-concentration-of-pools-for-turtle-mount/page/3#post-7273 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:09:25 +0000 Meryll 7273@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I'm on a good 4,7k casts myself. (resat counters when it was added) and so far nothing. The turtle and STV is what seems to be eluding me.<br /> But I am persistant (read: stubborn), so I will continue to fish for it. In order to gather motivation, I am not going for the mount specifically, but instead set myself a goal of certain amounts of fish to catch. Fish I either intend to sell, or cook and sell.<br /> One day it could be 50-60 Angelfish, another it could be 70-80 Glacial Salmons. </p> <p>I feel that helps abit. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/biggest-concentration-of-pools-for-turtle-mount/page/3#post-7262 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:58:34 +0000 sooptime 7262@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Last night's fishing brought my total fish and other things caught up ~1200 to 16766. No turtle yet. A friend gained hers after ~8K caught. I fished all pools from Dragonblight around HF to GH in the East and back again through to Coldaara. It has been a bit disappointing but during my fishing experience I have paid for my chopper and several other items and mounts through using cooking and my fishing mats, so all is not lost. It's a bit frustrating because I need 1 more mount aside from my last Tourney mount to reach the 100 mark. Not one to give up though. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/biggest-concentration-of-pools-for-turtle-mount/page/3#post-6692 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 19:49:21 +0000 Coldgreentea 6692@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>My favorite area is Grizzly Hills.

Sorry in that case.</p> <p>I have decided to get two achievements at the same time, so I went straight to Howling Fjord, to <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=495:422198">Winter Breath's Lake</a>. There are many Fangtooth Herring pools in this lake and also there are 3 small rivers nearby where pools spawn at times too. Basically I just flew around the place while watching a movie and fishing. I believe I got lucky since it took me about two evenings of fishing to get the mount, and I also got 6 <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44703" title="Wowhead - Dark Herring." class="nocolor">Dark Herring</a>. Also I was alone there 95% of the time.</p> <p>Though I heard about people getting lucky and catching the mount in shorter time, the rat from Dalaran sewers took me about 2 months to catch, so if you're still trying to fish up the mount and already got your rat and being angry on all those lucky (or patient) people who caught the turtle, just relax, forget about your goal and fish for profit or pleasure. I got the turtle when I was least expecting it. </p>
