Fishing, But Where?Follow

Hey,

I've had fishing for a long time, but never really bothered with it. My skill is currently at 187 Fishing, and i mainly fish in Auberdeen for [Oily Blackmouth].

And recently i have concidered to get my fishing up to 300, not only because i want to get it up to 300, i want to experience different fish types and also to be able to provide fishes for alc's in my guild.

My question is, where are good spots in terms of getting colorish and rare fish-types.

Any kind of help or tips would be much appreciated.

Some advice to add... This has been mentioned in other threads, but I figured I'd pass it on with my experiences.

Good advice from Mike. As for the deviate fish, I'd feel comfortable going after them around skill 150. I always prefer going into the actual WC instance so I don't have horde problems. If your high enough, you can fight your way in or use the RLH method. Just be wary of horde grps 20+ in the area.

I moved on to stonescale eel at higher fishing levels, but you can actually do deviate all the way to 300 if you like. Either route is good money.

Get the FishingBuddy Mod http://www.curse-gaming.com/en/wow/addons-2111-1-fishing-buddy.html I will never fish without it. It has some nice features such as:

1) Dulls environment sounds when you have pole equipped. This makes it easier to hear when you have a fish on the line. This also allows you to multitask, reading and fishing go well together imo.

2) Lets you just click on the water to cast, add lure (if you don't have one on), and to retrieve fish. I'm sure you can imagine how easier and faster this makes fishing. I always put something on my keyboard to hold down shift; that reduces clicking further since you autoloot when you catch. (maybe I'm just lazy lol)

3) It tracks the statistics on fish you've caught in every area. Makes for a good reference.

There are some other options on the mod as well, but those are the ones that I like.

Good luck with your fishing endevors. It can be a grind, but also profitable and relaxing if you just want to chill.

To get to lvl 300 fishing yiu will have to get a quest from your fishing trainer and he will tell you to see Nat Paggle and he will give you a quest to become Master Angler. At least i think so.

Tanaris is a good place to level fishing. Just hang out by the steamwheedle port area, along the shore. There are plenty of nice places to fish there. Bring a +75 lure just in case. You can catch yellowtail, stonescale eels from what I remember.

Another nice area was the Hinterlands (the Raventusk Village for Horde). But the fish were only level 25 or so.

Azshara is a good place to fish once you hit 300 fishing. Squid, Lobster, Mightfish, Stonescale Eels are just some of the catches there. You also get clams and locked boxes. You need +75 lure here or better.

Winterspring is also a good zone. The hot springs near the TB cave is the place for salmon, plated fish and the lightning eels. But bring a lure here also : +75 at least.
