I've been fishing the sewers off and on for over a year, caught him with what was then my main after a full week and close to 800 casts. Got the fishing bug with my new main, and fished on and off over several months, probably around 600 casts. Today, fishing the sewers with the quest, caught him in under 40 casts. One experience is entirely anecdotal, but I was wondering if anyone else had this happen also.</p> <p>Xethux </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/locations-in-the-underbelly-for-catching-the-giant-sewer-rat#post-9485 Sun, 28 Nov 2010 08:51:37 +0000 Jimbra 9485@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I didn't keep an exact count, but judging by the number of stacks of fish and other stuff that I sold, I cast at least 300 times in the Black Market area without catching the Giant Sewer Rat. After that, I took a research break, and read on another site (Wowhead? Warcraftpets?) that fishing from the end of the pier by Cantrips and Crows was the best place to catch the Giant Sewer Rat. So I moved to the Cantrips and Crows, and caught the Giant Sewer Rat on my second lure. Someone else also caught it while I was there. I don't know if the probability there actually is higher or if I just got lucky, but if you're having a lot of frustration in the Black Market, you just might be fishing in the wrong spot.</p> <p>By the way, I was using the following:</p> <p>450 Fishing skill<br /> Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole with High Test Eternium Fishing Line (+35 skill total)<br /> +100 lures </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/giant-sewer-rat/page/3#post-8434 Wed, 26 May 2010 18:39:42 +0000 Wyzo 8434@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>1244 casts and I finally got him! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/giant-sewer-rat/page/3#post-6438 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:38:20 +0000 justicehand 6438@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I posted about a month ago with stats. I had to reload WoW last week and lost my fishing buddy stats in the process. But I finally caught the sewer rat about 5 minutes ago doing the fishing daily. I had quit trying to farm him and decided I would just do the dailies and if I got him ...cool. After doing the jewel of the sewer daily about a dozen times in the last month I got him. So, it took me around 3250 casts at the cantrips and crows area to get it. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/locations-in-the-underbelly-for-catching-the-giant-sewer-rat#post-6194 Tue, 12 May 2009 22:51:11 +0000 killeth@hotmail.com 6194@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I finally got mine too. I casted over 700 times. I even fished up a ROCK. My base skill is maxed at 450, i am using the Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole (+30) and using the 1 hour (+100) Glow worm for a total of 580 fishing skill. I fished up in the "The Black Market" area right in front of Darhir facing the entrance to the area. If you are facing the entrance you'll be on the left side of the entrance.
