    Hi all well its just after the 3.1 patch and i was fishing for the turtle in herring schools in the fyord ..

    I got the Dark herring a few weeks back after weeks of fishing an hour or 2 a night . So i get to my first herring pool 2 casts and Dark herring and i yell in vent . To funny i thought all the work and 2 casts and i get another . But it did'nt stop there i fished about 20 -30 more casts maybe 10 pools in 20 min and caught 3 more dark herrings for a total of 4 ??????

    Is there a bug with the new patch that causes this when you have already gotten the herring ??

    Enough to drive you crazy ....

    Miraclemaxx: LOL - Isn't that the way it always goes? I've got the Sea Turtle, but can't catch the Dark Herring to save my life ... hours upon hours working on that one. Cheers!

    3 people in my guild caught dark herrings yesterday in less than 200 casts each. Somethings definitely up.

    Lawl, I got two of them in 5 minutes.

    The Dark Herrings seek my life; too bad I'm not an easy prey. I see them coming.

  6. Isadora <Angler>, 4 years ago:

    I caught one last night myself in about 20 casts, was expecting it to take a lot longer than that

  7. Shamius <Angler>, 4 years ago:

    Go catch your Darky now!!

    I just saw this post, and thought I would give it a shot. Well, here are the results... 7 casts and 3 minutes later:)

    I spent about 2 hours yesterday fishing, no mount or Dark Herring for One that Didn't get way/Salty title.

    Decided to go at it for an hour and boom first cast I get Dark Herring!!!!

    Bug or not I am extremely happy!

    1180 casts total in Howling Fjord

    guild mate catched 3 within 10 minutes.. my brother catched one at the 4te cast.
    thinking of my 4500 cast catching 15 pound mudsnapper... fu blizzard

    i decided not to wear the salty title anymore.. will be much too mainstream in near future.. but what about making money with disenchanting many dark herrings?^^ enchanting mats are quite expansive on my realm..

    bah 100 casts nuthing =( mybe my server didnt get "the love"

  11. Eloderung <Angler>, 4 years ago:

    800 casts to get one dark herring post-patch.

    Then again, 3000 fish + other things caught for the turtle and counting.

  12. Skelleth <Salty>, 4 years ago:

    I didn't believe this so I went to HF to work on the turtle and I've caught 3 X dark herring today.

    EDIT: 4 x now

    EDIT: Last update but 5 dark herring now. I do believe something is bugged.

  13. skankinpezhead <Angler>, 4 years ago:

    So I spent 2 hours fishing for the Dark Herring and Sea Turtle before logging off for the night. I learned about the bug a few minutes later, and thought, I'll go back and try for a while. First cast: Crystallized Water. Second cast: Dark Herring. Works for me. Going back to work on the turtle.

    Got the Dark herring on 2 different chars in less than an hour. Go. Fish. Now. WIN!

  15. Renetta <Salty>, 4 years ago:

    I got my first dark herring on my second cast on a herring pool, and the second within 80 casts. Definitely weird considering that I did over 1000 casts back when I was grinding for the one, without luck.

    I'd definitely recommend trying this for those who don't have the one that didn't get away yet.

  16. splunge <Angler>, 4 years ago:

    Throwing another 'confirmed' on the pile. Got the dark herring on the 4th pool, about my 15th cast.

    Flew there immediately after reading this, and took less than 10 mins. Thanks!

  17. setsuko <Salty>, 4 years ago:

    Fished for over an hour last night without knowing about this "bug," didn't get a dark herring. Still fishing now and nothing :|

    Edit: Caught near 200 fish, and afk'd. Went back and got herring in 4th pool. lol

  18. el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 4 years ago:

    I caught 3 Dark Herring out of around 300 catches from Fangtooth Herring School. Before we'd guessed at maybe a 1/1000 or 1/2000 catch rate from pools. So my gut feeling is that something has changed, and One that Didn't Get Away has just became a lot easier.

  19. Utopia <Salty>, 4 years ago:

    I just got 2 Dark Herring in 260 catches in the lake north of Skorn in HF, but last night I fished at Cauldros Isle and had no luck at all in 500 catches.

  20. fknlo <Salty>, 4 years ago:

    I'm up over 200 fish caught in herring pools in the past couple of days with no dark herring. I had a couple thousand casts for the one that didn't get away that didn't net me one either.
