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'm not really interested in much anything else in WoW as it stands right now. I enjoy fishing more than anything else, and cooking along with it! </p> <p>Savory Deviate Delights, Dragonbreath Chili, Great Feasts, Small Feasts, and the famous FISH FEASTS ! 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! I'm not in for the sole purpose of profiting, since everyone can do it, hence the added value of roleplaying to the whole experience!</p> <p>I need to find myself a good, high population RP server with high-end raiding guilds =) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/dark-herringcaught#post-7649 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 05:05:19 +0000 jasonpatterson 7649@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>OK, the gods of the RNG are smiling upon me.

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/one-that-didnt-get-away-achievement/page/25#post-7575 Fri, 15 Jan 2010 10:24:23 +0000 fattypatties 7575@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>The post below couldn't be more correct.</p> <p>I was well over 1k casts in the Fjord for the dark herring, about to give up after getting Mr Pinchy on 10 casts.</p> <p>I took the advice and went over and tried in Stonebull Lake, south of TB.</p> <p>8th cast nabbed me the 15 pound mud snapper.

It has not gone well. I'm fishing in the Bay of Storms on the island where Loramus Thalipedes (NPC) is. I'm starting to get SERIOUSLY frustrated, does anyone have any confirmation on these fish??!! Any insight would be greatly appreciated (and yes the bobber is always within the zone). I'm so heavily invested in this venture, I'm not sure I can stop now regardless but here are stats thus far:</p> <p>Darkclaw Lobster: 5853 (45.6%)<br /> Winter Squid: 2606 (20.3%)<br /> Stonescale Eel: 1402 (10.9%)<br /> Big-mouth Clam: 1205 (9.4%)<br /> Large Mightfish: 1144 (8.9%)<br /> Spotted Yellowtail: 407 (3.2%)<br /> Reinforced Locked Chest: 114 (.9%)<br /> Heavy Crate: 42 (.3%)<br /> 9 Pound Lobster: 14 (.1%)<br /> 7 Pound Lobster: 13 (.1%)<br /> 70 Pound Mightfish: 9 (.1%)<br /> 15 Pound Lobster: 8 (.1%)<br /> 19 Pound Lobster: 7 (.1%)<br /> 12 Pound Lobster: 6 (.1%)<br /> 21 Pound Lobster: 2 (.1%)</p> <p>TOTAL: 12832</p> <p>Judging by the amount of pound lobsters I've caught I can only assume I'm in the right place, and its just a matter of time before the 22lbs drops. However do you think being in Hetaera's Clutch or Scalebeard's Cave might result in more pound mightfish? I know time of day effects catch rate of some fish....would this effect the pound fish drop rate? Lastly I have caught other achievement fish after completing, this hasn't changed correct? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/one-that-didnt-get-away-achievement/page/25#post-7132 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 18:22:55 +0000 Corrupted 7132@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>After reading comments here and at wowhead and thottbot i decided to aim for Howling Fyord schools.<br /> My results there are:<br /> 2647 total casts from the first cast going for the achievement (99% of those are in schools)<br /> 1401 fangtooth herrings<br /> 0 dark herrings<br /> That was in a period of around 10 days aiming for 100 fangtooth herrings at least per day.<br /> My average time spent per day fishing was 1-2 hours.<br /> I was starting to get really frustrated especially after reading posts that people had caught dark herring in a few casts.<br /> Also i got tired moving from school to school and thought to try mulgore and stonebull lake.<br /> My results there:<br /> 332 brilliant smallfish<br /> 216 long jaw mud snappers<br /> 5 10 pound mud snappers<br /> 4 minor mana potions<br /> 2 minor healing potions<br /> 2 12 pound mud snappers<br /> 1 warrior bracers<br /> 1 15 pound mud snappers</p> <p>total casts 563<br /> All those casts at 5 October</p> <p>So basically if you are getting tired with not getting the dark herring is not bad idea to try mulgore.<br /> I know i was lucky getting it that fast but still 2.5k+ casts in howling fyord make up for that :).<br /> Also Stonebull lake is good for people that can do other things same time they are fishing like watching movies etc. It maybe take a little longer than dark herring ( according to stats that is) but is a lot more easier just camping one place and fishing 1-2 hours than moving all the time from school to school. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/one-that-didnt-get-away-achievement/page/24#post-7128 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 12:02:43 +0000 Nobsicus 7128@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>No luck from the GM... seems that it can't be verified...

Managed to snag an STV contest win on my level 48 Druid alt so I decided to gun for Salty with him. Obviously I went here first for tips and quickly came across this thread. Being to low level to go after Dark Herring efficiently and not high enough skill to start on Dalaran Coins, I figured I may as well hit up Stonebull Lake while skilling up and hope to land a 15 Pound Mud Snapper. </p> <p>Before I started I immediately picked up Fishing Buddy so that I could track my progress and pledged to post my results here either when I landed the fish or gave up (so as not to pollute the results with only success stories). Here it is:</p> <p>190 Total Casts:<br /> (119) Brilliant Smallfish<br /> (69) Longjaw Mud Snapper<br /> (1) Minor Mana Potion<br /> (1) 15 Pound Mud Snapper</p> <p>Seems from the other people who posted that I was extremely lucky. Here is hoping that you are too. For your information I was casting off on the little jetty of land on the inside of the lake to the northeast of the village. I had gotten in about 60 casts, left to take my dogs out for a minute, and on the first cast when I came back: THE ONE THAT DIDN'T GET AWAY! Happy hunting all!</p> <p>Now time to skill up enough for coins... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/one-that-didnt-get-away-achievement/page/24#post-7073 Tue, 15 Sep 2009 20:22:53 +0000 sylvalar 7073@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Hey guys, just got this one finally!
