Sucks it took over 1500 casts for Old Crafty, I didn't know the Crocolisks in the city fishing in Orgrimmaramajogger really worked, I'm glad I cought mine in 100 casts. I agree with the fountain, it's so small and so many people fishing at once (O no QQ) nah jk, the coins where fun and I liked the messages, especially Kel'Thuzad. " I wish someone would give me a big, long hug." I tell my self that all the time..... hah jk, maybe, ok im not joking. Anymore fish storys?

I have never got a rare from the tourney, my boyfriend received the queenfish which he's not overly happy about as he lost the tourney by one fish. He claims the pools did it to spite us. I've also never received the line, hat, or any of the cute crocs from the fishing daily. I did get the lager recipe and the Eye of the Sea though. I'm working on it all, one day at a time. :) </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-tale#post-3188 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 15:04:10 +0000 Noff 3188@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Kool, wish I cought Mr. Pinchy in an hour and a half. Andre, you should make the story sound a bit more exciting, like. I was in the fishing tourny when Hakkar attacked me while I was fishing, I Solo'd him and caught 40 tasty fish, when I went to hand in the fish, a legion of undead squirrels where after me, but they couldn't attack because I hearthed. Haha, awesome. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-tale#post-3187 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 14:54:03 +0000 Andre 3187@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>My stories!</p> <p>Fishing tournament, won it on my first attempt.</p> <p>Mr Pinchy, took me about 1h30 hours but when I caught the first, I caught another one from the same node!

Just keep fishing for those rare fish -- get some boots, a hat, and an eternium line that you can either save for when you get your Arcanite Pole, or put it on your current pole.</p> <p>Since it's only once a week, I'd take that little Zebra and keep fishing up nodes for those rare fish, they aren't as rare as you'd think... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-tale#post-3138 Sun, 30 Nov 2008 19:40:58 +0000 Noff 3138@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Woo i'm glad someone likes it, I updated if anyone else wants to read :D btw, I please don't post a big statistic thing like the second poster, it's annoying. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-tale#post-3121 Sun, 30 Nov 2008 03:48:40 +0000 Krahn 3121@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I enjoyed the story.</p> <p>Noticed you went for the 15 pound mud snapper, I'm thinking that's the best way to go for One that Didn't get Away.</p> <p>Can't wait to hear the next part of the story -- where you win the Fishing competition on your 1st try ^_^ </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-tale#post-3110 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 19:23:06 +0000 Noff 3110@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Ummm Thanks? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-tale#post-3108 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 19:05:01 +0000 Illuthas 3108@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Wouldnt realy call that lucky compared to mine :<br /> Mr.Pinchy : 28th catch,1st wish<br /> Old Ironjaw : 100th catch<br /> Old Crafty : 57th catch<br /> Coins : 1:30hours<br /> Sewer rat : still fishing,200 atm<br /> The One That Didn't Get Away : 5500 catch</p> <p>Luck is a matter of perspective i gues </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/fishing-tale#post-3107 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 18:03:12 +0000 Noff 3107@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>(Anyone Else Got Fishing Storys?)</p> <p>Hi, I'm Noff, and I just started getting into fishing about two weeks ago, before WotLK came out. I started off by trying too catch Old Ironjaw, and about 1000 fish later, I caught him. Everyone though I was crazy for fishing, saying it was boring, and a waste of time. After I caught Ironjaw, I stormed into Orgrimmar and hid behind a rock too catch Old Crafty, after getting two shot by a lvl 80 mage, gah, I caught Old Crafty after 100 casts, woot! </p> <p> After catching all those, I decided to give Mr. Pinchy a try, but no luck. So I spent the whole day trying to catch, The One That Didn't Get Away. After fishing for the whole day, I caught my 15 Pound Mudsnapper in the Elwynn forest. </p> <p> The next day I decided I wont do anything else, until I caught Mr. Pinchy, after about 3 days of non stop fishing, I was about to give in, when all of a sudden there he was. I bragged too all my friend when my first wish from him was the Crawdad :D. </p> <p> After getting all I could in Azeroth and Outlands, I decided to try and best Northrend, Got my Grandmaster fishing and stormed off into Northrend, only to get killed by a level 76 Giraffe (Turns out they dont like Shadow Word: Death) I bought a port to Dalaran. </p> <p> Spending about an hour looking for the fountain, I gave up and when into the underbelly to try and catch the giant rat. I prepared for a whole day of fishing. But after 20 casts, I caught him! I have some fishing luck :D</p> <p> Now I'm in Dalaran, trying to get the famous coins of fountain coiniesness!</p> <p>--</p> <p> It's now 9:11 PM Canada people time. So far I've caught all the copper and silver, need 3 more gold coins. Caught about 500 goldfish, who knew catching goldfish needed such skill, and tasted so good ! lol JK, I only ate about 60 of them for fun.</p> <p> 10:15 PM CPT. Caught all of the coins. Got a coin I can flip! Best idea ever! Got bored of it after the first flip.</p> <p>--</p> <p> It's Sunday and I was sitting in Dalaran, wondering what to do. Then I though, aww crap, 5 minutes untill the Fishing Contest starts. Went to SW and flew as fast as the gryphon could go, which is the same as the other gryphons. I got to the Contest like, 30 seconds late, which was valuable time. So I hopped on my Zebra, thats right, A Zebra, And I fished like hell. I managed to get 35 fish before a winner was declared. I cried. Not really. Ok maybe a little. In the end I traded my fish for like. 5G, kool. To bad I didn't get a rare fish.</p> <p> Now i'm sitting in Stranglethorn, wondering what i'm going too do. Am I going to get past level 70? Trying and get the fishing nodes in Northrend? Or just run around in circles on my awesome Zebra?</p> <p>--</p> <p> Monday, Dec 1 (omg 18 more days until holidays) just fished some nodes in Northrend, and decided to quest in Howling Fjord so I could get levels too fish in other parts, nothing exciting.... got some recipes, happy cupcakes and bad clams? wtf? who would eat bad clams?</p> <p>--</p> <p> Noffs log: Seadate: Awesome (Dec 02-08). After questing in the Howling Fjord, I came across a giant lift, being the smart guy I am, instead of taking said lift, I simply jumped off the cliff, since I was a priest, I simply floated into the sea. I stumbled upon a school of manta rays, and I thought, "kool, manta rays." and they give a haste bonus, "shwing", Being the curious half goat half humanoid thing I am, I ventured further into the sea, and I noticed, shiny parts of water, but it wasn't a school of fish. I kept fishing Borean Man O' War (If anyone knows what it's used for, post) Then I noticed an orca swim by. I thought, " holy crap, an orca." O finished today by cooking my spoils, I wonder how you cook a manta ray..... </p>
