[Fishing] Poll: Which water do you mostly fish?

  1. el <Nat Pagle's Love Child>, 2 years ago:

    I'm intrigued: Do you mostly fish from pools or open water?

    Poll results.

    Pools are the most efficient place to catch most specific fish. But a lot of your favorite places to fish suggested open water was more popular.

    In the past I've only fished pools since it seemed to have a higher gold-per-hour return than open water fishing, but with Fish Feast-quality fish fishable from open water in Wintergrasp, that may now have the highest return. I'll have to run some tests to see what kind of returns I can get in the open water in Wintergrasp versus fishing Glacial Salmon pools (currently the most valuable fish on my server). I might also test Musselback Sculpin schools in Lake Kum'uya since they are so densly packed and sell for nearly as much as the salmon.

    I'll try to get together a couple hours of test data from each location and report back.

    I fish in Wintergrasp most of the time, but since drop rate on Fish Feast components isn't even, I have to fish in Scholazar Basin, Borean Tundra and Grizzly Hills at times. There I only fish in pools for maximum yield.

    As I'm still waiting for my turtle to bite, I only fish from pools, but tbh, even once i do get it (I'm still hopeful) I'll probably still fish pools, rather than open water, as I know what I'm going to land, therefore maximising my fishing efficiency :)

    It varies for me. I like to fish in open water so that I catch a variety of things. When things are hectic (in game and/or out), I mostly fish in pools I see as I'm doing other things.

    My favorite place is in open water. I tend to fish glacial salmon in grizzly most.

    I mostly pool fish, as it is most efficient. The only time I fish in WG is when the daily is there, as I'm not fond of pvp. But yes, all the places I've ever mentioned as my favorite fishing spots don't involve pool fishing. I guess it's like how most people wouldn't say their favorite road trip is the daily commute :)

  8. Cherel <Angler>, 2 years ago:

    I like to fish in open water, but that's mainly because I fish in the game to relax.

  9. yossarian <Angler>, 2 years ago:

    i usually fish at wintersgrasp....

    (240 casts an hour if i fish in wintersgrasp, 100 casts an hour if i fish pools elsewhere in northrend)

    its just more profitable...

    and with this new patch (3.2) and all the new instances i think it will even be more so.

    I fish wherever the daily hits mostly...then in WG for FFeast ingredients...then the big lake in HF for Bonescales for Snapper Extreme...gotta love that +40 hit and +40 Stamina. Every so often I fish the Glacial Salmon pools in GH when my supply of Firecracker Salmon gets low. Those are currently the only pools I fish.

  11. Druidor <Angler>, 2 years ago:

    Always used to be Glacial Salmon as that was very proffitable, not done much fishing recently as been doing the cooking & JC dailys along with leveling up which I have sorely neglected.

    Fave relax place is at the side of Valiance keep, one side is inland fish other the more proffitable fish like Angelfish & Sculpins, odd anomoly but allows me to cater for my cooking & selling on AH when I need some extra cash.
