It took me slightly less than a hour, and since (usually) there's not a big delay between pools, it must be a good place to get your turtle mount too. </p> <p>The only flaw was that I ran out of pools twice even though there was nobody else there, but if that happens all you need to do is follow the water to the west, as there are a couple of pools there as well, and go back again after you fished from 'em. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/dark-herring-how-i-got-it-in-1hr/page/2#post-6415 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 06:26:58 +0000 gotkevin 6415@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>w00t! </p> <p>Just pulled up Dark Herring and finished off Accomplished Angler!<br /> Took about 1000 casts all with +100 lures.

Been doing the circuit around Caldrous Isle and up north-east into the lake for the turtle. Yesterday caught the DH on my 6th and 52nd cast. Today, got another on my 33rd.</p> <p>That's 4 I have so far for about 3.5 hours fishing. Another friend of mine fished 14 hours for his turtle in the same place and has 19 Dark Herring.</p> <p>So for those who don't have one yet, this is the place to hit. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/dark-herring-how-i-got-it-in-1hr/page/2#post-5938 Wed, 29 Apr 2009 15:07:35 +0000 Amelia 5938@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I followed the OPs technique, which I found to be excellent, and after:</p> <p>66x [Fangtooth Herring]<br /> 56x [Pygmy Suckerfish]<br /> 4x [Bonescale Snapper]<br /> 3x [Glacial Sammon]</p> <p>I got the [Dark Herring]! </p> <p>It must have taken 30 minutes at the complete maximum.. I'm aware that I have been considerably lucky but I always thought there was no hope and that I'd be there for 10 hours!

But y never know, one my guild member, had it while improving skill less than 10 min. But good luck all, i think its best to try it short times and often. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/dark-herring-how-i-got-it-in-1hr#post-5347 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 11:30:35 +0000 Faela 5347@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I just caught a Dark Herring after about 30 casts at Winter's Breath Lake in my hunt for the turtle mount... the crazy thing is, I already have the One That Didn't Get Away achievement for the 15lb Mud Snapper, which I got in 15 casts at Crystal Lake. Yet after thousands of casts I still don't have Old Ironjaw. Go figure. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/dark-herring-how-i-got-it-in-1hr#post-5315 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 04:01:50 +0000 powerman 5315@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Ok I know this will piss people off but here goes....</p> <p>I would consider myself a mildly enthused fisherman, I just recently picked up fishing and started leveling it in the hopes of money and achievements.<br /> I would consider myself pretty unlucky because level from 1 - 400 fishing I only fished in ironforge and never saw old ironjaw. I then partook in an adventure to teldrassil where I caught the seemingly easy 15 pound mud snapper seeing as it has the most common drop rate there for the One that didnt get away achievement.<br /> After that I went to northrend and this is the part where people will be angry and I know this was extremely rare and all luck on my part.<br /> I was fishing for northrend angler and just found my first fangtooth herring school and low and behold the first fish out of the school [Dark Herring].<br /> I recieved tons of hate-mail from guild, friends, and generally any and everyone on the server.</p> <p>Posting this to let people know you can get it on your first cast or 5,000,000th it just depends how hard or little you want to try :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/dark-herring-how-i-got-it-in-1hr#post-5313 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 03:10:52 +0000 Arithin 5313@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I caught my Dark Herring fishing in and out of pools at the Valgarde dock (when pools were up I fished in them; when not, I just fished in non-pool water).

About 15 minutes in, I fish up a Dark Herring, which gave me the acheivement. Happily, I continued fishing; amazingly, not more that 3 pools later, I fish up Dark Herring again! What are the odds?! I apologize to those of you who are having trouble with this one, I'm usually not nearly this lucky. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/dark-herring-how-i-got-it-in-1hr#post-5148 Sun, 12 Apr 2009 09:59:28 +0000 drgryphon 5148@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I fished in the same kinds of areas as everyone else around the Fjord, varied it a bit when pools seemed to disappear. Fished only in pools and finally got the guy after 251 regular herrings.
