I just fished this up in a Fangtooth Herring school on the Cauldros Isle, the Island above Utgarde Keep. I had been there for maybe 45 minutes trying to catch the rare fish "Dark Herring" but caught the turtle, which was a nice surprise. But I have to say that I spent my entire morning fishing in other areas like Borean Tundra and Grizzly Hills before I came to Howling Fjord. I probably fished a total of 2 1/2 hours before fishing the turtle up, so maybe the amount of time you put into fishing is a factor.

What does it mean by any "fishing pool"?
Just anywhere?

It can drop from any school of fish in Northrend.

I got mine from a Fangtooth Herring School. Overall, going for it I was able to make 100 fish feasts then I went and fished up a little over 42 stacks of herring. The lake north of Skorn seemed to be one of the best places to farm as by the time I circled around they'd be respawning.

Using the addon SpeedFu, here are (as of 3.1) some speed values.


Comparison
Unmounted: 100%
Epic Mount: 200%
Swimming: 67.5% (unmounted or mounted)

Sea Turtle
On land: 100%
In water: 108%


It's slower in water than a glyphed (and propably unglyphed as well) Druid Aquatic Form. However, the cool factor is through the roof ;)
