(Thorium Brotherhood) I got lucky and hit 4 pools in one spot along the savage coast right by the Sundering. One other person was fishing there (from another realm) so it was easy pickings... had 20 tastyfish in under 8 minutes. It took me another 15 minutes up and down the coast to gather them all. A quick hearth back to Booty Bay and the Arcanite Pole was mine! Second place was quick on my heels, but while fishing for rares, I almost had enough tastyfish to take 3rd also... but someone else finally nabbed it. We shall all share a drink at the Shrine later, my treat. That said, thank you to all the people who shared their advice for preparation and strategies as they came in quite useful! Take care and Tight Lines!

Was late so hadn't set hearthstone and only took second. Looted Dread Pirate Ring. Kept fishing as always to try and get rares. Fished up another 40, noticed with disbelief that no one had taken third. Flew back, expecting another winner announce the whole time, and won the fishing line. So in one contest won second AND third place (assuming others gave up after first winner -- they must not have researched new rules -- but I also didn't check to see if they were from my server). There were dozens of characters from other servers clustered around the turn in, chirping about whether or not someone had won. They couldn't turn in ahead of me, so Blizz did this right. NOTE: only 2 prizes were offered to me as choices when I turned in for 2nd place and only 1 when I turned in for 3rd. So either there are three prizes and it's first come first serve, or I was only offered prizes I had never looted before. Guessing it was the former (three unique choices offered and you loot your choice in the order you win). Finally... now have every piece of fishing gear (including Pandaren lure, exalted with Nat) -- fishing skill 600 + 220. Still irritated that Exalted with Nat gave a hat that replaced old one instead of a new slot like my forum-posted idea for "Bog Waders" or something that added to the gear instead. Still wish exalted with Nat earned me the reward title Druantis the Master Baiter. Thanks again for the much appreciated crowdresourcing advice to El and all the posters (hey I just coined some more jargon).

My strategy was start at the north end of STV at the start and slowly work my way south, also set my hearthstone to the tavern there in BB prior to the start once i got 40 of those tastyfish hit the stone and BAM was right there to get my achievement and acranite fishin pole, to everyone else good luck and keep it slaty. -Old Man Hal samboda on "Warning if you're doing STV post-Shattering" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/warning-if-youre-doing-stv-post-shattering#post-10137 Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:03:33 +0000 samboda 10137@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ Won the contest this week, fishing only near Yojamba Isle mostly because i didn't find any competition; which makes my first contest win on a PVP server and as an Alliance. samboda on "Warning if you're doing STV post-Shattering" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/warning-if-youre-doing-stv-post-shattering#post-10118 Mon, 14 Feb 2011 13:12:47 +0000 samboda 10118@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <cite>Barbro <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/warning-if-youre-doing-stv-post-shattering#post-10116" title="View original post.">wrote</a>:</cite> <blockquote>This has been fixed: The shout can be heard in northern STV as of patch 4.0.6.

TS</blockquote> I tried my luck this week in the Northern Stranglethorn i confirm that the starting shout is fixed, but the winner shout isn't ; since i fished 40 tastyfish and hearthed only to find out someone had already won :( I also lost the kalu'ak fishing contest because i forgot to use the mount/ghost wolf outside the inn, this as alliance. It was so close that i got the complete quest screen with the reward selected but couldn't click on complete button.

I just won the Extravaganza by fishing in Northern Stranglethorn. I probably started about 20-30 seconds late because I had been waiting for the yell, but I noticed the pools had changed rather quickly. I only saw two others where I was fishing (Westfall border to the water elemental island) and one of them wound up second place (he was about two seconds behind me as I ran to complete the event). I think most people *are* fighting over the pools in the Cape of Stranglethorn and that is hurting them.

Only saw 2 blue question marks! I was like aw man, I guess I didn't hear the shout and flew away. Four minutes later i hear the shout......the apprentice doesn't have a question mark over her head anymore before the tournament ends (did she ever? coulda SWORN the far right was master angler too). Even the pros make a mistake folks hahahaha!

So don't discount it just because of the bugs. They may be driving enough competition away to be worth it. I fished out all my pools regardless of catches, had seven catches other than tastyfish and still made it. el on "Warning if you're doing STV post-Shattering" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/warning-if-youre-doing-stv-post-shattering#post-9491 Sun, 28 Nov 2010 13:38:34 +0000 el 9491@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/fish/school_of_tastyfish.html" title="Fish Finder: School of Tastyfish.">School of Tastyfish</a> can be fished in <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/fish/northern_stranglethorn.html" title="Fish Finder: Northern Stranglethorn.">Northern Stranglethorn</a>, so it's a viable place to start, since you should still be able to spot the schools when the contest starts.

It appears that Blizzard have forgot to add the zonewide shout, announcing the beginning and the winner of the Fishing Extravaganza, to Northern Stranglethorn Vale. I guess it's a bug on Blizzards end, so if you're doing the Fishing Extravaganza today, make sure you stick to the Cape of Stranglethorn.
