i got it after about 2.000 catches.
the best spot is without doubt the frozen sea south of unu'pe. tons of pools that respawn quite quickly.asmodaie <Angler>, 2 years ago:
Finally, after 5017 catches, I got mine.
100 Cobalt Ore, 104 Crystalized Water, 114 Frostweave Cloth, and 22 Borean leather.
Also, I got 5 Dark Herring =/http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/5703/finallye.jpg
Only used Kalu'ak fishing pole, nothing else.
Keep trying! It's worth it! Even after 5000 catches, I wanted to kill myself, but it was worth it.
I won 1000g in the process, friend bet me I'd get it before I hit 3000 casts when I was at 2000 casts.

You tell me. I was dominating the Cuttlesteak market before 3.1, now there's always 3-4 people fishing on the Frozen Sea.
Damn FOTMers.
Oh, yes... no turtle yet. 1100 casts. This is the single thing I want the most this patch! C'mon!

I am at the 1500 + mark and no luck on the turtle yet. I did fish up the Dustbringer dagger which is a funny nod to the old Ashbringer rumors. Mainly I've been fishin pools 'round the world and not staying in one area for too long so I can keep a nice balance of fish to supply for raid members etc. Hopefully I can get the turtle to drop this weekend so I can focus on fishing in Wintersgrasp for some added excitement (I'm on a pve server). On a side note I really dislike the new shortened cast time and removal of skill req's for zones. I fish to relax and unwind but somehow now I feel rushed. Oh well I guess it's just personal preference as I fully understand why they implemented the changes. Grats to everyone who fished up the turtle thus far.
Edit: Got home from work and about 200 casts doing the crystalsong glassfin pools back and forth got the lil turtle!

Likewise. Nearing 2500 fish + other things caught, flying around to nearly every type of pool occasionally.
Shadowfreak <Angler>, 2 years ago:
About 5000 fish so far... and nothing... I have fished the schools, caught 3 haunted herring and nothing... The achievement says pools... So does it only have to be a body of water and not an actual school?
And as i make this post... Someone in guild caught it in the basin along with 3 others today... In a school... Arghh

Yep, it was in a school. Moonglow Cuttlefish :P
The RNG gods finally smiled upon me, and gave me the turtle! I actually started crying after getting it because it took soooo long. The little thing is just too cute!
I always was competing with anywhere between 1-5 people in the Frozen Sea. I never gave up - I had to stop every 1 hour or so to take some rest, though.
I had ~1700 Fish Caught, according to the ingame fish tracker.
Best of luck to everyone who's still trying for it!

Got mine today from a monsterbelly school in the frozen sea. After spending much of last night trying to catch it from imperial manta schools around borean tundra (im lvl 71 atm), i decided to try my luck at frozen sea.
Much better respawn on pools, and they are a lot closer together. Counting casts from yesterday, i would say only a few hundred casts, 200-300.
Keep trying if you havent gotten it.
