"You've not much else to do tonight, fish some more".</p> <p>I stopped a moment and considered - for sure, it was true, there was little else demanding my attention in game that evening.</p> <p>So, at a leisurely pace, I fished my way south, hopping from pool to pool, out into Borean Tundra, and eventually to the coast.</p> <p>Still I continued, heading east toward Dragonblight and Howling Fjord. Fished up a myriad of different fish types, some useful, some not so useful. </p> <p>I was on the coast of Dragonblight, nearing Grizzly Hills border, and fishing the umpteenth node for the evening, idly wondering why I was even doing this, when suddenly the screen went bright, up came an achievement, and in my shocked and addled brain I slowly came to the realisation that I'd just landed a Sea Turtle.</p> <p>I guess I realised then why the little voice told me to go fishing that evening. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/where-i-caught-my-turtle-and-my-story#post-7345 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 22:41:25 +0000 Gwardraal 7345@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I got it by pure luck. I was doing the Dalaran fishing daily with the Bloodtooth Frenzies - I fished up my five, and then I noticed a non-blood pool in the lake and decided to throw a line - next thing I know I'm getting the achievement ding! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/where-i-caught-my-turtle-and-my-story#post-7338 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 09:51:33 +0000 rakoth 7338@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I caught mine a few minutes ago while fishing a Deep Sea Monsterbelly pool. I had just finished the Blood is Thicker quest and decided to fish a couple of pools to bring my skill level to 415 (I always like to level up by multiples of five for some reason). A few casts later and I had it. Lucky day. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/where-i-caught-my-turtle-and-my-story#post-7333 Mon, 30 Nov 2009 23:14:35 +0000 Trendara 7333@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I caught mine early Saturday morning. I was under 450lvl, and went to Sholazar Basin for Nettlefish. I spent a good deal of time fishing there, both to level up and stock up. I have been trying to get the Giant Rat for weeks. 5 minutes after reaching level 450, I got my turtle! I was so shocked I woke up my husband, who spent the whole day turning me into a turkey while trying to catch one :). </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/where-i-caught-my-turtle-and-my-story#post-6679 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 08:02:55 +0000 Manginae 6679@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Well on my 870th somethin cast to try to get the dark herring I snagged him in Howling Fjord the northern most lake by the horde camp.

Believe it or not...I needed that!</p> <p>Dark Elf </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/where-i-caught-my-turtle-and-my-story#post-6632 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 18:33:09 +0000 Czehvren 6632@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Hello,<br /> Well let me get right to the point and say, i caught the sea turtle at level 67! I have been fishing in northrend sense i was 48 as well as outland... I couldnt wait to get to Outland really as it is my favortite place to be , just tonight i dinged 70 and did the fishing quests from old man barlo and the kind lady in dalaran! And off to catch Mr. Pinchy in just a sec.</p> <p>So far i have collected around 6k gold sense lvl 48-70 when i picked up fishing and cooking, and traveled the world of azeroth outland and northrend in search of bigger fish! but sense i was to low and my agro range was large for monsters, i had to find the perfect spot...</p> <p>The spots i found and first the spot where i caught the sea turtle is in grizzly hills just off the outpost where the taunkon or taunken live , there is a little lake i beleive its called ashwood lake? im not sure but its where you go to kiss the frogs for the argent tournie, i fish there a lot for glacial salmon , and surprisingly the pools spawn within 6min of despawning so, what i would do is i would arrive and have 3-4 pools spawnd fish from them all till none were left and within 6min of the last one another pool would spawn... so thats where i caught her! I swear i told my guildies every cast i think its going to be the sea turtle! Dream it also , 20 min didnt even pass by when i closed my eyes and thought of the turtle.. I was completely shocked, blown out of my mind, what i would do is place my cursor over the bobber close my eyes and hope i hear that achivement sound, i did this in the session i caught the fish , kinda freaky all that "law of attraction" stuff hehe...</p> <p>I didnt really read to much about the turtle before i caught it , fishing an cooking was a way for me to make money an i have been! so places where i fished at 48-67 where agro was a problem in northrend and outland...<br /> Golden darter in terrokar forrest the small lake outside shatt, catch is 24-29% open water if i remeber correctly , great seller, takes lots of patience<br /> Nettlefish in the rivers heart in scholazar, lake threshers would taunt me if i got to close to the water i could fish from every pool except one without getting in combat.<br /> Glacial slamon ashwood lake easy for horde to get to with FP being right next to it just one level 72-73 wolf my fav place to fish!<br /> Yes the frozen sea is good tons of tons of pools but could never sell the fish<br /> This is getting long</p> <p>well now adays its been 2 days sense ive had my mount i use it every time im in org going across the mail and the ah, across pools , and to show off.<br /> Im happy to be a accomplished angler and share my tips an thoughts on this site, and i hope to talk to you all and share my tips as well as hearing on what you have to say</p> <p>Never give up! </p>
