    So yeah I've started trying to get this fish for the achievement. I started Friday it is now monday. Up to 3k casts and still no sight of ironjaw.

    I just got Old Ironjaw last night! I got him over a 2 day period with only 326 casts. I got SO lucky!

    didnt get a catch count, but i do know i was there in a tuxedo for 4 days to catch him, alliance were real nice to me also. 1 ganking from lvl 70's and every other bit trouble i had was from toons around lvl 30-35

    This lucky lvl 72 orc just got him in 28 casts.

    I found it easiest going for him at a low lvl. I was level 40 and it took a lot of determination, but got to the pool after ressing lots. Once there the best thing to do regardless of level is /sleep. Passing alliance give you a bit more of a chance seeing you laying down. Also if you are a hunter use beast mastery. Got him in 1200 casts with little armour on. If you don't get him straight away try 3 hour slots.. that way you don't go crazy from trying too much!

    I spent three hours one night (and two gankings, both Night Elf Warriors) trying to get Ironjaw with no luck.

    Next evening I logged back in, expected more fruitless hours of casting. After greeting my guild, one of them said "good luck with your fishing!"... and I caught it the very next cast.

    this little fishy is proving realy hard to fish up..
    i already got over 2200 catches and still no ironjaw..
    i got 4 green pants(lol!) and a green sword but no ironjaw..
    (my friend got it on 2 chars, 1 did it in 45 min and the other took from 1 to 35 fishing skill when he cought it..)

    gl to every 1 trying to fish this little basterd.

    I have a couple more tips to make this a little easier.

    1. If you are a hunter, Aspect of the Beast makes you untrackable so you won't need any camouflage elixirs.

    2. Get a druid friend from the opposing faction (or one of your own toons if you have two accounts). Have them sit on top of you in bear form and you will all but disappear. Using Baby Spice or some other shrink effect can help, too Have them turn on any titles they have to help hide you. Some players might be a bit perplexed at the sight of a fishing bear but with a little luck, they'll move on without looking too closely. If you don't have a druid friend, an ogre suit from Dire Maul should work just as well.

    I've only had time to do a few hundred casts using this method but I plan to return to Ironforge soon to resume my attempts on Old Ironjaw.

    Believe it or not, I actually caught Old Ironjaw on my SECOND cast ever!!

    I had gone to get the initial fishing training from the trainer in Ironforge, bought the most basic rod (not even the "strong" one), turned around to begin levelling my fishing and bam! I got the achievement. Guildies congratulated me on the hours and hours it must have taken me to catch him but in fact I had only been fishing for a couple seconds with that toon.

    But you know how it goes... I've also spent hours and hours trying it on a different toon and sure enough, nada! So I guess it all evens out in the end.
