I have been reading on this website for many months, I think I remember it since Burning Crusade, but I never had the chance to say THANKYOU back. So .. Thankyou for all the useful and for all the help. Ment alot to me. I want to tell you a bit about my fishing experience. I started like everyone else ... in burning crusade , had max skill, and I was doing fishing daily every day. I managed to raise since then a guildtab full of Elixir of Water Walking and those +100 fishing hooks. I was saving them for Sunday fishing Contests and I tried that every single week-end. I must say that I am sure I didn't miss more than 2 - 3 contests in 2 years. When achievements and eventualy WOTLK came out, I started to do them, but didn't pay much attention to fishing. Did the daily every day, got all the rewards possible - both fishing poles, the pet, different gems (agil and stamina), the fishing hat. I am a mount collector , and that is the most important thing for me in game. I am atm at 126 mounts ... and going up. So when the sea turtle was introduced ... I fished for hours and hours to get it without success. A few days later I convinced my wife to fish in Borean Tundra for me (to catch the turtle) - and I agreed to cook dinner. And she got it in 10 minutes ! My old guild disbanded on Hellfire, so I applied to a guild on Ghostlands. After I trasnferred I was standing on the bench (I was IN-raid but I wasn't in) ... well trial times. To kill time while I was waiting for a spot ... I started to fish, because I couldn't do daily quests while in a raid. As you can see maybe if you check my achievements on armory ... I got Old crafty, Old Ironjaw AND Giant Sewers rat in the same day. Well ... actually I got them all in 20 minutes. It was weard, because I tried so much to get them on my old realm, and after I transfered I got all 3 - in 5 casts each, on the same evening, in 20 minutes. I am not sure if the transfer had anything to do with it ... but it is really weard. Finally yesterday - I took advantage of the situation and WON Booty Bay fishing contest. And this is another tip for everyone that wants to do this : USE social real - life events in your advantage. For example : yesterday was Formula 1 and the finals World Footbal Championship. People were away. on a /who stranglethorn ... got about 20 - 30 people alliance side , and there are usually over 100 . I was still in shock after I won. Took me a while to recover. Anyway, I started on my last achievement ... I am sure everyone knows wich one :) One THat Didn't Get Away. I started right after Booty Bay contest, and since raid in the evening was canceled due to Footbal Finals ... I had time to fish all day. I started with azhara - got about 1000 - 1200 fish there. Gave up - continued with Goldshire lake - got about 1000 - 1500 fish there (full bags) Gave up - read this forum - moved to Theldrasil in Lake Al'Ameth - got about 500 - 700 fish there Gave up - moved to Howling Fjord - fished ONLY in schools - got about 600 - 700 fish. NO RARE. It shit blizzard's way to make me suffer for the other rare fish I got in 20 minutes ? I am going insane. Fished yesterday 12 hours no breaks, and today I brought my laptop at work ,planning to fish all day. but I forgot my damn authenticator at home !!! :( Anyway ... this is the last achievement for salty, and last possible from the list. I will keep an eye on this website, and I must say - great work. Thanks all again, and I hope I didn't bore you to death with my story.
