Guess he was more concerned about winning than petty honor points. Obviously I'm on a PvP server.</p> <p>In any case, grats! Gonna go for the Salty title? I won this week, I certainly plan to. Only achs I have left are one gold coin for the meta, and to catch one of the rare fish. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/i-just-won-the-stranglethorn-fishing-extravaganza-today#post-8875 Sat, 28 Aug 2010 18:13:02 +0000 Runs 8875@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>JIC anyone is thinking of trying this, blocking pools comes under Blizzard's harassment policy and is actionable. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/i-just-won-the-stranglethorn-fishing-extravaganza-today#post-8851 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 21:41:34 +0000 Koprofagen 8851@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Hello!</p> <p>I finally managed to win the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza after a few weeks of trying. I gave it a few tries last year but never really tried my best.</p> <p>My server is quite heavily populated by Horde and so I didn't have to worry about being ganked or anything like that.</p> <p>I had a friend who helped me by interupting Alliance players, ganking them, fake-casting in pools close to mine, but best of all: BLOCK THE BOPPERS!</p> <p>I started just outside Booty Bay on the western coast and my friend first scared away some alliance and blocked casts for the Horde players. As it went on my friend travelled alone over the the eastern side and kept blocking casts with his Travellers Tundra Mammoth, this is extremely effective and people started running away to different areas, which gave ME a lot of time to catch more Tastyfish.</p> <p>The contest started out at 13:58 server time and I was finished at 14:13 and used Hearthstone back to Booty Bay. No one ever casted in my pools and I wouldn't have made it without my friend.</p> <p>So a few tips for you to ALMOST guarantee victory:</p> <p>* Have 1 or more friends with you to gank players of the opposing faction or just interupt casts, and most importantly, have them block the fishing boppers by standing with their mount in the fishing pools for other people. This is extremely effective!</p> <p>Best wishes!</p> <p>//Salty Koprofagen </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/two-fish-short-d#post-6543 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 06:17:57 +0000 Kamaria 6543@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Well there was this one time I was out fishin in Theramore, when I pulled a big ol son-of-a-bitch named Tethyr on my pole.<br /> Then after beating his ass some I had me a new troyphy in my den.</p> <p>Don't ask how I got him in there. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/two-fish-short-d#post-6531 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 05:49:49 +0000 C Rage 6531@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Back in my day, we couldn't even track fish! We had to look around and try to spot the swirling pools outselves, while trying to avoid going into the water so we wouldn't be dismounted. There was none of this fancy swimming, aquatic, or water walking mounts. We swam across the water, mounted up, and kept searching, and dang it! We liked it like that!</p> <p>Lol, sorry just had an Old Salt moment.</p> <p>Good luck next week! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/two-fish-short-d#post-6522 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 01:17:38 +0000 Sauce 6522@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p><cite>ILubLawn <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/two-fish-short-d#post-6520" title="View original post.">wrote</a>:</cite></p> <blockquote><p>And a scout who can track fish...

I got some not-so-tasty fish in the process so that didn't help. Having a pally follow me around with crusader aura helped a lot. I think next time I bring a DK for paths of frost. And a scout who can track fish... I have been paying helpers to encourage them.</p> <p>First attempt: 34 fish at winner - no help<br /> second attempt: 36 fish at winner - DK helper<br /> third attempt: 38 fish at winner - pally helper</p> <p>Statistically think I have to win next time. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/new-prizes-for-the-fishing-extravaganza#post-1306 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:29:24 +0000 dukat 1306@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>They could also decide to implement a whole new tournament in Northrend with all new rewards. Would be nice to see some new stuff added in, without having to remove the current tourney. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/new-prizes-for-the-fishing-extravaganza#post-1257 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:44:04 +0000 heraklen 1257@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I hope they make other rewards, since the tournament is very dependant on type of server and other factors , I like the daily fishing quests a lot more.<br /> I rather see us persistent fishermen rewarded with low droprate items than the current extravaganza suckiness thats a blend of chance or paying bodyguards/scouts to win. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/new-prizes-for-the-fishing-extravaganza#post-1256 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 03:13:54 +0000 llie 1256@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Does anyone know if they will be releasing new prizes in WOTLK for the Fishing Extravaganza? I've been going every Sunday for about 2 months, I've won twice and caught a couple of each rare fish so I have all the items I can get from the tournament. I like doing the tournament every sunday and would like something that can keep me looking forward to going other than the gold I make from turning in the tastyfish. If anyone knows anything about this let me know!! :) </p>
