[Fishing] Where i caught my turtle and my story...

  1. Czehvren <Angler>, 8 months ago:

    Hello,
    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.

    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...

    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...

    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...
    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
    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.
    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!
    Yes the frozen sea is good tons of tons of pools but could never sell the fish
    This is getting long

    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.
    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

    Never give up!

    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 :).

    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.

    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!

    I'd just completed the Ghostfish daily in Sholazar Basin.

    Well, I'd actually fished up the Ghostfish, and right clicked it, so I had completed the quest, and was just about to hearth back to Dalaran to turn in the quest when a little voice nagged my brain... "You've not much else to do tonight, fish some more".

    I stopped a moment and considered - for sure, it was true, there was little else demanding my attention in game that evening.

    So, at a leisurely pace, I fished my way south, hopping from pool to pool, out into Borean Tundra, and eventually to the coast.

    Still I continued, heading east toward Dragonblight and Howling Fjord. Fished up a myriad of different fish types, some useful, some not so useful.

    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.

    I guess I realised then why the little voice told me to go fishing that evening.
