Happy to report, after hours of fishing the forlorn cavern (sorry, no addon to give numbers) the above described "catch & release" will result in the successful snaring of Old Ironjaw. :D wyrmsmom on "Old Ironjaw" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw/page/2#post-3627 Mon, 29 Dec 2008 13:33:12 +0000 wyrmsmom 3627@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ Question about "catch & release" By "catch & release" I mean: Turn off auto-loot, cast, catch ... but instead of looting the small brilliant useless fish, just casting again ... only looting when something good turns up ... Like yesterday, I got a 1 Ring. Does anyone know if this has any adverse impact on the odds of getting old ironjaw? Would it be better to take all the little fish and then toss them out of my pack? Or does it not make any difference at all?

Just took up fishing yesterday. My husband is a salty ol' fisherpriest, but I've never felt the urge to level... until I found out that damn Sewer Rat is BOP. So, I buy a pole and plunk myself down in the Forlorn Cavern... and pull Old Ironjaw on about my 15th cast. My husband almost swallowed his tongue. All of which means, of course, that I'll have to cast 10,000 to get my rat when the time comes. Oh well. Still, the look on his face was worth it.

I took my pole and prepared myself to have a hard time, like the guy who was there already. When my character was covered in a circle of light on the 14th cast his eyes almost popped out. About 30 minutes later I got a second Ironjaw.

One death on the way, Ally seemed to be nice to start but by 123 fish I'd been ganked 4 times. Annoying. Got the 1 ring though, my Christmas present. Will keep trying for another hour or so today.

No Ironjaw yet, but I'm reading some promising things, so perhaps next time I have the Crocs in the City daily and try again I'll be luckier.

No luck! Last night I was there for 30 minutes. Two level 80 alliance were fishing, but did not bother me. A 72 gnome eventually came around and killed me twice. I was not wearing armor or weapons, just my fishing hat and pole. Oh well. Anyway, overall 3.5 hours and Old Ironjaw did not show up. :-( Kahless on "Old Ironjaw" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw/page/2#post-3305 Mon, 08 Dec 2008 01:12:46 +0000 Kahless 3305@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ Skill is not a factor in your chance to catch any fish. If you can fish without any fish "getting away", that's all you need. That and lots of time. troen on "Old Ironjaw" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/old-ironjaw/page/2#post-3303 Mon, 08 Dec 2008 01:03:36 +0000 troen 3303@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ First post on the site, and I'm not even sure it's in the correct place (sorry if it's not!) I have a simple question about fishing for Old Ironjaw. Does having a higher skill increase your chance of catching him? Do I need to max fishing and get all the gear, enchants, etc. before going for him, or can I catch him at any skill level? Thanks!
