Terrage's coords are checked and correct. However i excpected a school of fish, but you just have to fish the plain water untill you catch the required fish. Good luck for catching them fast.

Commento di 4295

Doesn't matter if you are at the exact coordinates... just have to be in the right area. A funny thing though that you can get more than 1 fish with the same cast when you get the quest fish :D

Commento di 2952

I just found Nat at: Tidefury Cove (58, 59).

Commento di wadefree85

I couldn't begin the quest at level 60 until I had reached exactly 225 fishing.

Commento di 4437

This quest and it's prerequisites require exactly 225 fishing. The prerequisites only point you to Nat Pagle and they aren't necessary in order to get this quest. With a simple +75 fishing lure and fishing on Terrag's coords (see above) you'll get the fish in around 5 tries.

Commento di XenosBH

at 225 and lvl 35 you can get this quest. might be hard to get to some of the places to get those specific fish at lvl 35 though.

Commento di Astralen

What Hacy wrote isnt the whole truth since I had to do over 80 casts to get the Feralas Ahi. I tried several spots and 62,49 seemed to be the one that did the trick although the quest description and Rubinous comment tell that there is no "specific coord" where you should catch the fish.

The other three got caught in 5-10 casts like mentioned above.

Anyway once again, dont forget the +75 fishing lure (especially in Feralas) and good luck.

Commento di 26387

The Desolace one took me forever (even at the right coordinates), but the Feralas one was cake.

Commento di blindrob

This quest gives 3,900 Xp, not 390

Commento di hicharles

I just did this quest with the information provided here. It was easy. Only took me 1hr and 15min.

Of course I'm a mage and I can teleport all over the place :)

If you are a mage too, hearthstone Gadgetzan. Makes it very easy.

Commento di 33031

Try to step in the water and then cast, i had in STV and Swamp the fish in one cast stepping in to the water on the coords Terraq posted. It might be a lucky hit...

Commento di cybele7

Thank you Onrust.... I fished those coords with no luck for 30 minutes with my fishing skill boosted to 325 by my pole with a lure until I stood in the water and got the Ahi within 2 casts. I think there is something to standing at or just inside the waterline.

Commento di 49307

I found the Sar'Theris strand way further north than in the original post:
: 35.9, 35.4; Desolace - https://www.wowhead.com/cata/item=16968
I was about to head down from the north end of Desolace when to the coordinates Terraq posted when I found a bit of the strand so I was able to get my fish there instead.

Commento di 19746

I had my fish "get away" tons of times trying to fish these up. Bring 4 lures to make your life easier.

Commento di siggboy

This is definitively a tedious quest just to break the skill cap for a secondary profession. Cooking and First Aid are less work and less annoying.

The exact coordinates mentioned above are not important, the only thing that matters is that you are in the correct subzone (as mentioned in the quest text). Of course the coordinates given here help with finding those locations.

Be prepared to fish for a while until you get the quest fish. My success varied from slightly over 5 minutes to about 15 minutes of fishing necessary to get my catch (done after the 2.1.0 patch with its increased fishing speed).

NB: Attaching a lure does not make you fish faster and does not improve your success rate in getting specific (eg. higher level) fishes. Only attach a lure if you get the "your fish got away" message or if you're unable to cast in a specific location.

BTW while you're at Sar'theris Strand you could as well check the nearby traps (underwater) for a Big Iron Fishing Pole (drop rate from a trap is about 1:100).

Commento di Baini

I did this quest as a 70 hunter with epic mount. It went quick and I started in Stormwind (talking for ally here) then i took a ride to Blasted Lands and zoned to Swamp of Sorrows, after I went back to Blasted Lands and then took the ride to STV. After that the boat to Ratchet and the ride to Desolace, then zoned/took the ride to Feralas. I made it on about 30 minutes. As long you are over 40 it will go quite quick.

Commento di 42854

Your fishing skill MUST be maxed at 225 in order to get this quest. I was able to attain my last point standing next to Nat.

Commento di Quintin

I'm assuming that these quest fish can only be caught if you are actually on this quest?

In other words..

Can you combine skilling up with trying to catch these rare fish?

Commento di 72761

I attempted to catch these fish for a couple hours using Seth's Graphite fishing pole and came up with nothing. This may be a bug on the pole since it is from a TBC quest. I used a regular fishing pole later and got my resulting catches within 15 attempts for all of em.

Commento di Ravenne

Remember to leave your raid group... doh!

Commento di 58442

Caught my Feralas Ahi in one cast, lured with Bright Baubles on a Strong Fishing Pole. I was standing on the east bank with my feet in the water.

Hope this helps someone :)

Commento di 89438

I got all my fishes using the coords in the first post. You can get all of them without fishing lures, though using a lure in Feralas is adviced, otherwise you will get a lot of "your fish got away"-messages.

Succesful catches I needed to get my fish:

Feralas Ahi: 9
Misty Reed Mahi Mahi: 14
Sar'theris Striker: 40
Savage Coast Blue Sailfin: 20

Commento di 80008

The Co Ords for Pat Nagle are as follows : 58, 59.

for: Feralas Ahi FIRST SHOT!
found it right down of the mountain at 62,52 near the big tree on the ground. but more to the east.

Commento di 67403

got Sar'theris at 36,32 almost at 35,32 on that tiny mountain.

Commento di 67403

at 34,33 in ONE cast I found savage coast blue sailfin

Commento di 17382

As of 2.3 all fish take an average of 20-40 casts, somewhere around a 5% drop rate. Took me 70 STV casts, 30 Swamp casts, 40 feralas and 5 desolace

Commento di 98875

Is it just me, or are all of the fish locations for this quest very Horde centric? I flew to Camp Mojache, bam it was right there. Shadowprey, bam. Grom'Gol, bam. Stonard, a little run, and bam.

Alliance flight paths aren't nearly as close to those locations. Granted, Nat Pagle is right outside an Alliance city, but he's a quick find too for Horde after 2.3, with the addition of the Mudsprocket FP.

So Alliance fishers, good luck!

Commento di haloman800

The order it should be fished in is 1. Desolace 2. Feralas 3. Sunken Temple 4. Stranglethorn Vale

Enjoy

Commento di 57104

pretty easy quest.

i did it at lvl 70 between arenas (10min queue sucks).
go to nat pagle for quest - arena - catch a fish - arena - catch another - ... - go to nat to complete

Commento di TheMercenary

Maybe I just got really lucky or maybe they changed in patch 2.3 but I got all these fish on the first cast besides the Feralas one. I used a lure for it seeing as everyone seemed to which let me get it on the second cast. Co-ords are perfect.

Commento di ramatheson

DO THE FISH IN ORDER IN THE QUEST LIST!

I didn't, and skipped to the Striker after getting the first fish. I fished THREE hours with nothing. I then went and got the second fish (5 casts), came back to Desolace, and got the Striker in 2 casts.

Commento di 94450

If you've tried fishing over 100 times to no avail, check to make sure you are not in a raid group. Because I did it for like an hour until I was about to scream and then finally realized what had happened.

Commento di 109612

Has anyone had problems getting this quest at higher levels. I have been slacking...but trying to catch up. But I can't get the guy in IF or Nat to talk to me and give me the quest. I've seen posts on a couple of forums, but no one has posted an answer.

HELP

Commento di 46491

Finally did this quest the other day, so here's some results -

Misty Reed Mahi Mahi - 2 casts
Sar'theris Striker - 3 casts
Feralas Ahi - 16 casts
Savage Coast Blue Sailfin - 8 casts

Average of 7 casts per fish, or a 13.8% drop rate. All fishing done at 325 skill (225 base + FC-5000 + Bright Bauble). Locations close to Terrag's coordinates, but not exact with exception of STV which was done on south side of cove opposite his loc (approx. 31,36).

Commento di tantun

1) After getting this q, go to Mudsprocket , the goblin town. Make it ur home.
2) Fly to Camp Mojache (Feralas) & fish : 62, 51
3)Fly to Shadowprey Village (Desolace) & fish : 25, 77
4)Fly to Rachet and take the ship to Booty Bay
5) Fly to Grom'Gal Base Camp (STV) & fish : 33, 32
6) Fly to Stonard (Swamp of Sorrows) & fish : 90, 72
7) Now u r done so Heartstone to Mudsprocket and turn in the q

Commento di november

Some fish are easier to catch than others. Feralas is the hardest place to fish, a lure will definitely be necessary there (I started out with 225 Fishing skill of course, plus the +25 fishing rod, and still most all fish got away before I attached the +75 Bright Baubles lure.)
In the other 3 places, the fish will bite without a lure.

It took me 30 tries to get the Feralas fish, about 25 casts in Desolace, but in the Swamp of Sorrows and Stranglethorn the fish bit fairly quickly after about 8 to 10 tries.

Commento di Ozzymandius

I just finished this quest at level 35 and got 5,550 xp instead of the 3900 shown above. This may be new for 2.3.

Commento di 118636

yeeeehaaaa! :D

Completed it at Lvl 35 (Troll Rogue)
Took me about 4 hours because i don't have all those flight routes (I actually had to swim from booty bay to SoS!!!)

Thnx for the posts with where to fish them :)

(now i need to do the damn cooking quest, lol)

Commento di 116014

Each fish took an average of 10 casts and came up with another fish. Not by itself in a cast. None required a lure. 225 skill required to take the quest.

Commento di 118717

Note: The feralas Ashi can be held off hand

Commento di Milker

Thanks, Terrag, here's those map locations visually:

Commento di 44517

I have now done this quest 3 times on three realms with 2 lvl 70 alliance alts and a lvl 37 horde alt.

The locations given by terraq are spot on, but remember to stand in the water!
The time to fish varied from a couple of minutes to 1 cast for the two alliance alts (lvl 70) In fact I manged both the Desolace and Feralas fish on the same Aquadynamic Fish Attractor.
However the horde alt (lvl 37) needed to fish for a minimum of 4 minutes for each fish. ( 5-6 minutes left on the Aquadynamic Fish Attractor)

It may be that the lower your combat level is the longer it takes to fish.

On all three occasions at lvl 225 fishing I just swam out to Nat Pagle and got the quest, no pre-requisite of any sort was required.

Oh and XP is now 5550 for lvl 37

Commento di atjetcmk

As of 2.4 - Horde

The coords from the previous posts are correct ( just make sure you're in the area it says in the quest, exact coords don't matter).

I got every fish w/in 10 casts except for the swamp of sorrows fish which took around 20 (all with nightcrawlers).

The other posts stated the Feralas Ahi was the most difficult but i got it on the 3rd cast with 9 mins left on my bobber.

The most difficult parts of the quest were getting to Nat Pagle and the Swamp of Sorrows shore. For the SoS, I went to the south along the mnts and killed many lvl 40ish spiders. Go left just before the shore and there's a Horde camp to rest in. Go to the shore and watch the mobs and u should be able to get to a safe fishing spot by killing only one.

Commento di 106514

There is no method to the madness!! Catch these fish in any order at the coords above.

My first catch in Feralas came in about 8 casts. The second in Desolace was landed on the very first cast. The third in SoS came after TWENTY FIVE CASTS!! DOne on the lower part of the beach around 90,73??? Anyway, the last catch was on the second cast. It can be done just up past the Bloodsail Compound on the Southern Savage Coast. You may not even have to go up that far. That was around 25,49.

Hope this helps.

Commento di 143852

Did they change the drop rate on the fishes? I'm hearing within 5 casts people normally get the fish but my STV, Desolace, and SoS attempts took me anywhere from 15-20 casts and my Feralas took me 47 casts. Did they make it harder or am I just extremely unlucky?

btw 225 fishing, +20 pole and +100 bait

Commento di 103666

I don't think the drop rate has been lowered; I caught three of the four required fish within five casts. The Misty Reed Mahi-Mahi took ten casts, with a regular Blump Family Fishing Pole and Nightcrawlers.

Note: The Sailfin can also be caught south of Booty Bay, along the "Southern Savage Coast" area.

Commento di Agilhardt

To everyone trying to speculate on # of casts: IT'S RANDOM. Even if it's a 99% chance it could still take you 100 casts to get it. Not very likely, but it could happen. You could get the fish on the first cast or the 50th, that's just the way the game works whether the chance is 1 in 4 or what. Every cast is an isolated event and your chance to catch the fish is not affected by anything you've done previously.

Commento di Marwan1584

It took me the following number of casts to catch each of the fish for this quest:

21 casts to catch Savage Coast Blue Sailfin.
15 casts to catch Misty Reed Mahi Mahi
13 casts to catch Sar'theris Striker
16 casts to catch Feralas Ahi

I had an average of 16.25 casts/fish. I hope each of you have better luck.

Commento di 137809

If you are going to do this quest, do yourself a favor... Download the addon "Quest Helper". It shows where the best chance of fishing the fish are. It really helps. I got all the fish in about 3 casts. Except for the Misty Reed Mahi Mahi in Swamp of Sorrows, that took me about 15-20 casts.

Commento di Kitsuna

I did it this way: Grabbed the quest and hearthed, then went to Thunder Bluff. Flew to Desolace and caught on the first try, went to Feralas and got it within 10, flew to Ratchet and moved to Stranglethorn.

From Stranglethorn I ran outside to the coast and caught within 5 casts (in a side story, I had fun nuking a 22 human warlock (Elkheart, The Scryers server) on the boat so he'd instantly respawn and miss his boat). Heading to the flight point I went to Swamp of Sorrows and caught my Mahi on the second cast. All in all, a simple quest, and helluva fun time nuking that 'lock.

In short: Thunder Bluff to start, Desolace to Feralas to Ratchet to Booty Bay to Swamp of Sorrows. All in one hearth.

Commento di Reversion

Using the +75 Bauble and +20 Fishing Pole, I was able to catch all the necessary fish within at most 5 casts for each fish at the appointed nodes. No "Your fish got away!" problems after attatching the bauble. You can get the Baubles at Camp Mojache in Feralas from the <Trade Supplies> vendor in the big tent in the middle of the town.

Not sure where the most convenient place is for Alliance.

Commento di 127797

I found out that I was unable to do the fishing daily quests at 70 because I did not level up. Sooo, I went back and did it. Of course it was pretty easy to avoid all the aggro, but found that at each spot I got my required fish in under 10 mins. I was very lucky at Southern Savage Coast to get it on the first cast. My route went from Feralas to Desolace to STV to Swamp of Sorrows. Took all evening but I think I am on my way... :)

Commento di 152670

It is definitely random, and it looks like level has nothing to do with it either. I ended up doing this at 62 (Night Elf BM Hunter) on Cenarion Circle with these results:

Feralas Ahi - 30 casts / 7 minutes (interesingly same as Merowlin)
Sar'theris Striker - 7 casts / 2 minutes
Savage Coast Blue Sailfin - 35 casts / 8 minutes
Misty Reed Mahi Mahi - 19 casts / 5 minutes

Average was 22.75 casts per fish. I used Aquadynamic Fish Attractors in all locations, but I still believe I can claim the worst overall drop rate on this comment page so far! ;)

Commento di LightningBlade

Omg was this nerfed or something? I've been sitting here fishing at each loacation for more than 100 casts and I've fished up two stacks of Oily Blackmouths and Firefin Snappers.

Just went to desolace, fished for like 10 minutes off of the dock where the FP is, nothing.
Ran south to the beach with the dead crawler bodies (scenery, not actual mob bodies), got it on first cast! Don't waste your time on the dock IMHO.

Commento di 198840

They must have changed this quest resently because i went 4 for 4 on the special fish. i got everyone on the first cast. much easy then before and since it takes aprox. 6 fish/casts to get a poit at 225 i lost maybe 1 point doing the quest, compared to the 20-30 points last time i did it. plus, i took me a mere faction of the time. im thinking 25,30 mins tops.

Apart from running around a lot, this quest is easy. I caught the fish i needed on my first cast in each location. Just make sure you are in the correct area name.

Commento di 251409

Gad, don't some of you read the posts? Why keep saying it's 100% drop now? That was stated many times already. Sheesh, offer something new. Who wants to read 100 posts saying the same thing?

* Terrag - gave the coordinates above
* Krakenkitsch - gave the travel plans for Alliance
* krynble - gave the travel plans for Horde
* rnawky - was the first to say the drop rate is now 100%
* fergotten123 - was the first correct post that it required 225 fishing

I wish only those 5 posts were on this thread. I'd rather be fishing than reading repeat posts!

first - to desolace. fly there. then to feralas. fly there too. then i went to ratchet. took boat to BB and from there, with mount over shroe get 3rd piece of fish item. then from gg to sos. from there, hs to shatt. go to og, fly to questgiver and completed quest. easiest way.

I dont wanna be whining but why do blizz dont remove this and the cook q (wich are much simmular)? They are just booring and i dont realy feel any rewarding plessure when completed.

Commento di Boshnak

Coming from a guy who has done this with four characters; coordinates don't matter, just the zone you fish in. Sometimes you get it in one cast, sometimes (like me today) it takes ~45 minutes.

then follow the waypoints :-) this should make your trip planning a litle easier.

Commento di ChairmanKaga

The 100% catch rate on this quest is no more. It was apparently stealth de-nerfed in 3.0.8 or 3.0.9.

I can't find where either change is documented in the patch notes, so it's quite likely that the 100% catch was unintended to begin with.

Commento di iranou

Anyone else think this quest is a little horde-biased, as all four fish are found nearer to a horde flight path than an alliance one?

Commento di 53437

Horde side!
You must make before:

1.)Go Orgrimmar, find Lumak, at
2.)Go Dustwallow Marsh, find Nat Pagle, at
3.)Continue with this quest!

Commento di Fomorx

Patch 3.1 gives a blue fishing pole as reward. This quest is no longer needed to get Artisan fishing skill.

Nat's Lucky Fishing Pole

Commento di 34640

Seriosly, any programmer of Blizz plays alliance actually? i have both sides characters, and it's easy to notice how much easier also this quest is for horde.. Routes are way shorter, actually them spots are about right next to flypoints exept feralas and swamp sorrow's short runs.

Commento di Dirkster

According to El's Anglin' this quest won't be needed anymore to get beyond 225 fishing skill, it can be trained:

All fishing trainers now teach Expert and Artisan fishing skill ranks. Juno Duffrain in Zangarmarsh also teaches Master rank. The Expert and Master rank books are no longer sold. New trained requirements are:

* Expert Fishing - 1 gold, level 10, fishing skill 125.
* Artisan Fishing - 2 gold 50 silver, level 10, fishing skill 200.

Only character level 10 is required to train fishing all the way to 450.

Expert and Artisan cooking ranks are also taught by trainers in Old Azeroth and Outland. Master Cooking is still taught by a book.

It will now reward a pretty nice fishing pole. People who already did the quest can still go visit Nat and get the pole!

Commento di 353096

hate this quest so much, but even if the books arent needed it's still a great pole and basicaly useless not to do the quest it's probably going to be one of the best poles you have unless you win STVE or get exalted with Kalu'ak

Finally decided to work on my fishing on an alt.. got to 225 and was able to train further at the fishing trainer in Booty Bay, but I remembered this quest reward from leveling my main so I resigned myself to traveling all over creation to find the fish... went to Nat Pagle to get the quest, Nat had the ! over his head but he didn't ask me to do the quest, just gave me the rod. :D

Commento di deathfrozt

well, i went from lumak in orgrimmar and to nat pagle, then i accepted his quest and went back to orgrimmar, then lumak wanted to teach me artisan fishing, so now i got artisan fishing without doing the quest :DD
but im still gonna do the quest

Commento di 377939

I'd say u should get e pole cuz it gives +25 fishing which is good, unless u wanna spend all ur time ON STV fishing contest or get exhalted with hanu'ak or whatever they are called :S
strongly recommended because of its ease...

Commento di Nightz2k

My skill was 250 with a +100 lure. I took about 5 min at each place. Seems like an easy quest for a good reward. Only downside is you have to travel quite a bit.

Ferelas Ahi- 2nd cast, came up at the same time as a Raw Redgill.
Sar'theris Striker- 14th cast, got it with a Raw Rockscale Cod.
Savage Coast Blue Sailfin- 9th cast, same time as a Raw Rockscale Cod.
Misty Reed Mahi Mahi- 17th cast, came with a Raw Spotted Yellowtail.

I think they MIGHT want to raise the quest level on this one. 225 fishing and level 45 takes 4ever, not to mention being aggro bait for everything in 3 counties.

15 fishing points and 1 death later, "Quest Complete" PITA if i ever saw one.

Commento di 728559

I just did this at level 85 and had around 237 fishing skill when I started. I wasn't catching the fish in Feralas until I added bright baubles as my lure and caught it first try. In Desolace and Stranglethorn I caught them after a couple casts. In Swamp of Sorrows it took approximately 22 casts with 21 "catches" until I got the Misty Reed Mahi Mahi. I was using the bright baubles again and was still getting some junk. My pole also gave me +5 fish skill. Ended with 244 fishing skill when I finished.

No way to get this quest done at level 40 any more. Swamp of Sorrows mobs are all labeled "Boss".

Is this still available, i wanted to do this for the rod but i went to him and he doesnt have any quests :(

Edit: Okays yeah to obtain this quest your fishing skill minimum must be 225 :)

I completed this quest today, so it is still around after the Cata expansion. It was fairly easy, only requiring around ten casts per location. Also, due to all the new flightpaths, there are now convenient flightpaths very close to every fishing location for the Alliance.

Commento di 152310

That was odd. I was flying from Theramore to do some archaeology, and caught the yellow exclamation point. Ran down there and he said, "Well hello there, young night elf. Either my memory is failing me, or I forgot to give you this the last time we spoke..." Voila, insta-Nat's Lucky Fishing Pole.

No idea what I did before; guess I did the quest back when.

Commento di OfficialSponsor

Just tried to pick up this quest and it wasn't available. Since it used to be the only way to get Artisan Fishing I thought maybe my fishing skill was too low. It was at 206 and Artisan Fishing is 225. So I fished in the waters around Nat until it hit 225. Sure enough as soon as I got the Expert Fisherman achievement, Nat Pagle had a quest for me.

As of patch 4.2 Nat's Lucky Fishing Pole is still the quest reward.

Commento di ible

He have just given my alts the fishing pole without asking anything in return, as they have done the quest line before, but the fishing pole is a "newer" reward. Before, I think it was only to get master fishing, and there was no other reward. So if you have done the quest line before, you can visit him and pick up the pole and some silver. He won't ask you to do anything for it.

Commento di Bozkada

When fishing in Swamp of Sorrows, there's goblin beach party on the beach, on the north side of Bogpaddle. It's not highlighted on the map as a quest area, but I was able to fish there at 40 without agroing anything. I actually got the quest fish there on the 3rd cast. Just make sure the mini map says Misty Reed Strand, rather than Bogpaddle, and you should be good to go.

There are docks to the NE of Bogpaddle, but at 40 I was unable to fish there without agroing the makrura swimming around below.

Also, the road from Redridge to Burning Steppes (if you go that route) is now heavily guarded by swarms of fire demons. Expect to eat a death or two just getting to the flight point, if you're lower level.

Commento di Takata

Did it easily on my lvl 56 Blood Elf Warrior. First I flew to Desolace and traveled to the Sar'theris Strand which is near the horde village. Started casting, caught the striker within a few casts. I then flew to Feralas and headed to the Verdantis River. Once again took only a few casts until I caught the Ahi, next I flew to Ratchet and took the boat to Booty Bay, went to the southern Savage Coast, started casting and once again caught the blue sailfin within a few casts. Next I flew to Swamp of Sorrows and headed to bogpaddle which is right by the water, started fishing and caught the Misty Reed within a few minutes. My fishing skill went from 250 to 270 during this quest. Did it all in just under 30 minutes.

I caught 22 other fish before I caught it, which I didn't mind as I could use them to improve my cooking.

To get the "Big Iron Fishing Pole" you need to go off the shore of Shadowprey Village in Desolace. Bring some water breath pots or spell or seal form or something and swim around opening the "Shellfish Traps". Chances are you will end up having to fight a 33-34th level crawfish that crawls out of the trap when you open it OR shellfish. A rare drop out of shellfish trap is the +20 pole your after.

Just got mine last night. When I was done I could turn in the shellfish at Shadowprey to complete the repeatable quest 9 (almost 10) times... Takes a little while sometimes.

Commento di Thottbot

Note, you can't actually fish these fish until you have the quest. They are *quest items* and show up in your loot along with another fish, on a successful cast.

Commento di Thottbot

First, the person above with the short post & easy links - kudos! Anyone should be able to do it from there.

For alliance, here's my suggestion:

From Theramore. fly to Thalanaar. Go to the tloc & grab Ahi.

you can either double back to Thalanaar, and catch the flight to Feathermoon - NOT NIGEL'S! and swim up the coast to the tloc for the Striker OR just run over west & swim up. *If you have a mount or travel form, alternate between running the coast & swimming. There will be fatigue water, but just hug the coast, & you'll be ok

If you don't have a BIFPole yet, after the Striker, swim up & start raiding the shellfish traps by the troll village. The traps are laid out in a sort of double crescent from the troll village, like this:

Fatigue water ( ( |* <- village

The traps are on both the 'shelves,' as well as down in the valley between.

If you have swim speed potions, druid water travel form, undying breath, belt of swim speed, etc., it will go easier. The Drysnap Crawlers & Pincers are pretty aggressive, as well. The traps sometimes hold shellfish, sometimes a Drysnap, sometimes vendor crappola, and sometimes a nice magic item (my gf just pulled Stonecloth Gloves & Cuthroat's Mantle of the Owl), and RARELY a BIFP. The area is also a good source of Stranglekelp, as well.

After you get your BIFP, run on up in through Desolace to Nigel's Point, and fly back to Theramore. Boat from Theramore to Menethil. Griffon to SW, then to IF, then to Stranglethorn.

(The fishing Tournament has just been implemented in STV, so you may want to ask if it is going on while you are there - you can fish for the quest & the tourney at the same time)

After getting the Sailfin in STV, griffon from BB to Darkshire, and from Darkshire to Netherguard Keep in the Blasted lands.
From NGK, run up north into the SoS to get the Mahi. Be careful of the Stonard Sentries, Alliance!

Back to Netherguard you go!

(NOTE: if you are higher level, you may already have flight paths to Thorium Point & Morgan's Vigil, which makes things a little easier. But I am guessing most lower 40s won't)

Netherguard to Darkshire, and you can either fly south to BB and take the boat to Ratchet & swim/run down to Theramore, OR head up north through SW & IF to Menethil, and take the boat directly to Theramore. In either case, back to Pat.

If there was a flight path between BB & Netherguard, this would be easier, but alas! no . . .

As for the 'Horde only' pole, it was a BoE before, and would occasionally appear in the Gad AH - but I wouldn't hold my breath for one. The STV Tournament (as of patch 1.07) should have equivalent or better items.

Just too bad that big fish don't show up when held in off hand, and we can't enchant fishing poles with weapon enchants . . .

Happy Hookin'!

Commento di Thottbot

35 shaman just finished this quest. It is very doable as a 35. The map coords farther up in this thread is very good. The hardest part for me was getting to Nagle. Tried the run from Brackenwall Village along the mtns - aggroed lots of spiders, crocs, slugs, and died a couple times before I made. The second trip followed the road out of Brackenwall, went north to where the road came closest to the water and ran to the coast without any trouble. Then ran south along the coast all the way down to Nagle's island. Only a couple short spots where you have to swim and very few mobs.

Fishing spots
Desolace - right outside Shadowprey village (3 casts)
Feralas - take road west from Camp Majache - just past the bridge over the Vedantis River there is a bank on the right (10 casts)
STV - go up the coast a little ways until it turns into Savage coast, avoid crocs (3 casts)
Swamp of Sorrows - gotta make the run from Stonard to the eastern coasline, stay close to the hills, skirt the spiders (ghost wolf form helped me outrun them) and then turn south at the coast, avoiding the murlocs and crocs. Tooke about 15 minutes worth of casting here for me.

Make sure that after you return to Nagle to complete quest that you fish right there with him until you go from 225 to 226 skill (about 7 casts), Then you can stone out.

Savage Coast Blue Sailfin (Stranglethorn Vale 34,31)

Commento di Thottbot

For those of you who don't use Coords, here's a simple way to do this quest:

First you should know that to get this quest the minimum requirements is to be level 35 and at a fishing skill of 225.

Second after you are 35 with skill 225 all you have to do is go to Nat Pagle in Dustwallow marsh, hes on a small island west of Theramore Isle.

Third all you need to do to catch these fish is have the name of where they mention in the quest above your minimap, anywhere inside that area is fine to catch them.

Now for the quest:

Savage Coast Blue Sailfin - This fish needs to be caught in Stranglethorn Vale. Now there are two places one is called SOUTHERN Savage Coast, and the other is just Savage Coast, you must be at Savage Coast to catch this fish and that is near the Grom'gol base camp (which is horde Ugh. lol) After you catch that fish Run up to darkshire and follow the road that takes you east out of town and head east through Deadwind Pass following the road to Swamp of Sorrows.

Misty Reed Mahi Mahi - This one is in Swamp of Sorrows (which is East of Darkshire). It's at the very south eastern most part of the zone past the Sunken Temple of Attal'Hakkar and threw some lvl 45+ dragonkin. Now when you get all the way over here i went out into the water at the South West part and there are three islands, one of which you still stay in the Misty Reed and can fish off of without Murlocs trying to pester you. The other two islands however are just barely out of the area so make sure you are still in Misty Reed or you'll never see that fish. From here you can either die and spirit res at Graveyard near stoneard or walk here then walk south into Blasted lands where alliance can fly from Nethergarde Keep (Northeast part of map) up to Menethil harbor to venture to the other continent. Take the boat over to Theramore Isle, Dustwallow Marsh, then fly to Desolace.

Sar'theris Striker - This fish is in Desolace near another horde town called Shadowprey village and it's pretty far south near the zone to Feralas and west of the Gelkis clan over on that coast. After you catch this fish back track a lil past Gelkis clan area and follow the road that takes you South into Feralas.

Feralas Ahi - there's a Horde town (lol horde must really like fishing or something) in the middle of Feralas which has a river running along side of it, thats Verdantis River and since i'm Alliance i just went a little way downstream and caught it.

After you've done all that head to whichever Flight path you think is closest there is one to the east of you and to the west of you in Feralas, I went to Feathermoon Stronghold and flew back to Dustwallow Marsh, Where i went and saw Nat Pagle and completed the quest. Now i can sit back and fish all the way to 300.

Well i hope this guide helped. And good luck fishing!

Note that the Verdantis river, where you catch the Feralas Ahi, is NOT the river that runs through the Horde encampment. It's the one that crosses the road midway between Camp Mojache and the west coast.

Fishing lvl 225

Commento di Thottbot

Most of this is stated above, but in summary:

Must be level 35 or higher with 225/225 fishing skill before the quest becomes available (used to require level 40, that was changed many patches ago.)

You can't catch any of the fish UNLESS you have the quest, they don't show up if you aren't on the quest. They also are not tradeable, shareable or sellable in the AH, you have to personally catch them with the character who is on the quest.

Reading the quest it tells you where to catch each fish, you HAVE TO be at the place described to catch that fish:

-"Misty Reed Mahi Mahi from the Misty Reed Strand in the Swamp of Sorrows." (if it doesn't say "Misty Reed Strand" on your minimap you won't catch a Mahi Mahi)

-"A Sar'theris Striker from the Sar'theris Strand in Desolace." (if it doesn't say "Sar'theris Strand" on your minimap you won't catch a Striker)

-"Feralas Ahi from the Verdantis River of Feralas." (if it doesn't say "Verdantis River" on your minimap you won't catch an Ahi)

-"Savage Coast Blue Sailfin from the Savage Coast of Stranglethorn Vale." (if it doesn't say just "Savage Coast" on your minimap, this means "Southern" savage coast won't work, you won't catch a Blue Sailfin)

When you get the fish they will show up as an ADDITIONAL fish to the one you normally catch, so say you land a Spotted Yellowtail, above it in the loot window will be the quest fish.

*IF* fish are getting away, you need a better pole and/or lure! If you're landing fish every cast, a lure won't help (for example, Misty Reed is fishable with 225+20 skill) *BUT* if you keep seeing "your fish got away" then you should get a lure. With a Big Iron pole, you can get away with Bright Baubles (+75 skill, 10min duration) but if you have a smaller pole, you should probably grab Aquadynamic Fishing Attractors (+100 skill, but only lasts 5min.)

Each fish is catchable within about a dozen casts *as long as fish aren't getting away and you are in the right spot* so if you are catching something each cast and you are in the right spot you will catch the quest fish.

Commento di Thottbot

Sar'theris Striker: Just south of Shadowprey Villiage along the shoreline (26, 76). Caught on 6th cast. Used Strong Fishing pole only.

Feralas Ahi: From Feralas take the path straight west ill you get to a bridge jump donm and start fishing (62,51). The Caught it on the 10th cast. Used strong fishing pole plus Bright Baubles.

Mity Reed Mahi Mahi - Head straight east out of Stonard till you get to the beach in Swamp of Sorrows (80, 94). Caught on 4th cast. Used Strong Fishing pole only.

Savage Coast Blue Sailfin - From Grom'Gol base camp head east out of the camp then go straight south (34, 31). Caught on 6th cast. Used Strong Fishing pole only.

Commento di Thottbot

I started this at L37 and finished at L38 (got distracted by other quests), with 225 fishing and a +5 pole. I put them in order I did them.

Savage Coast Blue Sailfin: this is important, so hang on, I'm going to yell: IT CAN ALSO BE CAUGHT IN SOUTHERN SAVAGE COAST! Someone said you couldn't, and the rest repeated it without even trying, so I tried it to see for myself, and succeeded on my 4th cast. Started in Booty Bay, swam a very short distance up the west coast til it said "southern savage coast". Easiest. Almost the entire western coast of Stranglethorn Vale will suffice.

Misty Reed Mahi Mahi: this one, the entire east coast of Swamp of Sorrows will work. If you don't want to chance the trek through the zone, you can swim north from Stranglethorn or south from the Wetland's Thandol Span, though both ways, while safer, would take a good long time. 15 casts, attacked by L44 murlocs. Hearthstoned home.

Sar'theris Striker: two sections of the west coast of Desolace will do, possibly the little island in the northwest (you can try for yourself if you're curious). Went Ashenvale -> Stonetalon -> Desolace, also swimable I suppose. 4 casts and moving on.

Feralas Ahi: coastline won't work this time, and there's L48+ MoBs about. Took the road from Desolace, kept an eye out for any MoB that wandered too close. Followed it south, then east when it curved, kept going until "Verdantis River" came up on the screen (the river is green on the mini-map). Took me 17 casts (11 fails, 6 successes). Never attacked. Hearthstone home, fly to Theramore, swim to Nat, and finished.

Final notes:

Southern Savage Coast will work for the sailfin;
if you have the time, you can avoid attacks by swimming to 3 of the spots;
you don't need lures or the +25 pole, although in Feralas it will save you some time fishing (I didn't get any fails on the first 3).

And actually, the maximum skill is redundant, since you can skill up your fishing from 1 to 300 in the same pond. The area you fish in only determines the sort of fish you'll catch, and your skill of course determines in what area you can fish.

Commento di Thottbot

Easy quest, not all that exciting but you do get alot of travel in. I started this quest by doing the fishing spot in Swamp of Sorrows for the Mahi Mahi. For this one just go to the southeastern most corner of the map, that seemed to be a good spot because there wasnt that many of the murlocs roaming. Next I flew to Grom'gol, on this one make sure you run far enough away from the town to where it says 'Savage Coast' if you dont you'll be fishing for awhile and wondering what the heck is going on. I got the Sailfin on the 3rd cast. Next I took the zep to Orgrimmar then hoped a flight path down to Desolace. Just south of the village is a small water inlet where you need to go to fish out the Striker. This one took me over 30 casts I must be unlucky and finally I flew down to Feralas, you have to go to the lake in the middle of the map(near DM). Boom quest complete, Artisan fishing once you talk with Nat again. Oh and make sure before you initially talk to Nat that you have 225 fishing, I went out there at 200 because I thought I'd be able to get the quest but he is a stickler about it, so I had to fish out at his camp for and hour to reach 225. Good luck everybody

Commento di Thottbot

kinda weird but when i was doing this quest at each spot i would sit for about ten minutes just fishing then as a last resort i would get into the water kneel down and pray to fish gods and what do you know......next cast...ON EVERY FISH....i caught it....coincidence or are the fish gods listening O.o? who knows....

Head back to flight path, go to Ratchet, take boat to Booty Bay. When you step off boat, turn left and jump in water and start swimming. There will be a rock-projection on your right. This is the area where (if you did the quest) that you killed "Pretty Boy" to get Catalina's knife back. Stand on the rock and fish.

The quest was available for me when I had 225 fishing and level 35, due to the NPC not having a quest mark over his head It might have been obtainable earlier, tough not earlier than skill 210 (my skill when I first checked the NPC). as far as the level requirement it should be changed above, I was, as I said, level 35 when I obtained this quest.

No pre-quest needed!

(25, 38) Desolace - 7 casts, almost 90 casts trying to fish off of the pier...moved to the coordinates and got it in one cast.
(62,51) Feralas - 3 casts, didn't pay attention to the coordinates once again and spend over 100 casts in various areas...finally moved to the proper area and got in in 11 casts
(25,19) Stranglethorn Vale - 8 casts, paid attention to where I was at this time
(94,36) the Swamp of Sorrows - 3 casts, anywhere along the coast.

Moral of my story...pay attention to the coordinates.

Did the quest on the new 2.3 patch. No fish took more than 10 casts with the strong fishing pole and no lure. Just go to the right spot. Did this quest at level 35, died alot getting to the spots in Feralas and Swamp of Sorrows, but worth it to fish in exotic locations.

Spots are as follows:
Stranglethorn 25,58 facing slightly North East.
Desolace 37,36 facing South West.
Feralas 62,52 Make sure you are on the west bank near the rock, not between the rocks.
Swamp of Sorrow 91,82 on the island facing the shore and a little south.

If you do not have a cartographer program at level 35, I highly recommend you get one for this quest and all future quests.

No one is preventing you from reading the entire thread and skipping past the coordinates posts... it's as simple as that. No need to whine about posts with coordinate. You don't care for them - skip them.

The only one I had issues with was the one in Ferals, but I just fished at the waterfall on the other side of the bridge and poof got it in two casts using the +25 fishing rod and the +75 fishing trinket.

Commento di Allakhazam

I just finished this with my 42 human mage. The previous posts were correct. Here is where I did my fishing:
Swamp of Sorrows - 78,5 (very north end of beach) - 8 casts
STV - 35,32 (above the waterfall in the river - not the ocean) - 10 casts
Desolace - 25,77 - 12 casts
Feralas - 62,52 (just off the road a bit - no mobs were here so it was a safe spot to fish although I did need a baubble with my Strong Fishing Pole to prevent fish getting away) - 3 casts (not including 1 that got away).
It was just the travel time that was a bit time consuming. I'm on a Normal server so didn't have to worry about getting attacked by Horde. I was able to avoid mobs in all locations so unless you pull something while travelling, you shouldn't have to worry about fighting. Good luck!

Commento di Allakhazam

Like many other quests in the game, this one's been nerfed as of 3.0.x. Not sure exactly what the drop rate is on the fish now, but it's very close to 100%. My hunter on Stormrage just did this a couple of weeks ago and every fish but one was caught in one cast, the other was two casts. My hunter on Drenden I just finished with and was one cast at each location. My two other toons that have done this quest before were long before and took roughly 20-30 casts total for each toon.

There's two sections in Stranglethorn Vale that you can catch the Savage Coast Blue Sailfin, that's either the Southern Savage Coast (North of Booty Bay) or the Savage Coast which is the west coast of Stranglethorn Vale where Grom'gol Base Camp is located. If your mini-map says either Southern Savage Coast or Savage Coast, then you're in the right spot to catch the fish.

Commento di Allakhazam

While this has been mentioned in at least one other post, I thought I'd bring it to the top since it's not mentioned in the quest description area:

YOU MUST BE FISHING LEVEL 225 IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THIS QUEST!

I went out of my way to get to Pat because my fishing level was at 200 (which usually qualifies you for advancement to Artisan level training). Sadly, it's just like the First Aid quest here in Theramore - you need to be at 225 to get it.

Commento di Allakhazam

(25, 38) Desolace - 7 casts, 4 minutes
(62,51) Feralas - 3 casts, 1 minute
(25,19) Stranglethorn Vale - 19 casts, 9 minutes
(94,36) the Swamp of Sorrows - 61 casts, 35 minutes.

All done as a lv47 Hunter, with a Dark Iron Fishing Pole & +75 lure. Total fishing skill while doing this quest was 320, including the buffs. Aside from the nightmare in the Swamp of Sorrows (aptly named), easy quest.

Now that I'm über, I'm headed back out to the the Overlook Cliffs in the Hinterlands. The fishing is awesome out there, every cast is a double pull! In 20 minutes, I pulled in 56 catches with only one dead cast:

19x Raw Spotted Yellowtail
8x Big-mouth Clam
8x Firefin Snapper
8x Raw Glossy Mightfish
5x Winter Squid
4x Raw Rockscale Cod
4x Stonescale Eel
3xRaw Summer Bass
1x Ironbound Locked Chest

Commento di Allakhazam

167 fish caught and still no Mahi mahi. Wouldn't be so bad if you could start the quest at 200, or something. Would be nice to get some skill ups out of this.

Perfect co-ords, thanks a ton guys. I didn't even mean to catch the Savage Coast Blue Sailfin - I was fishing for firefins and saw a tasty fish spawn, decided to have a cast and on the first, looted my Savage Coast Blue Sailfin!

Commento di Allakhazam

Well just a small note to those who might be as dimwitted as i =)
regarding the SOS cord... it is 78.5 at the very noth of the beach...
I stupidly enough thought it was meant as 78.50 ( and that the writers of the other posts were just skipped the 0 )

took about 20 mithril head and a deadly wack by somnus for me to go into map and look a little closer... yea i know =S

Commento di Allakhazam

You dont have to go all the way to the southern coast in desolace.. you can use the northern one around 39,24.

I also recommend using a lure for the feralas one to save time.. that one took me the longest, and would'v taken longer had I continuously gotten "your fish got away"

Commento di Allakhazam

swamp of sorrows 3 casts
stranglethorn 20 casts
feralas 1 cast
desolace 2 casts

The reason why it took so long in Stranglethorn was because I thought maybe I could just catch it in BB....'cause I read it can be caught anywhere on the coast. This was a lot easier than I thought, I was prepared to spend hours on this quest......fishing 225, nightcrawlers, strong fishing pole.

Commento di Allakhazam

Just fished mine out in the deep water @ 92 81

Commento di Allakhazam

Ok, so I followed DjTed's guide (Thanks again for doing this!) and here are some notes that I made along the way. All of my map coordinates are based on the Cartographer add-on, so your mileage may vary. Also, I did this with my NE Druid (started at level 36) so I had the advantage of prowling through some of the more dangerous areas. And by picking the more secluded areas to fish, I was able to complete this quest without getting ganked, not even once (I'm on a PvP server)!

Finally, I didn't need to do a pre-quest to get this quest from Nat Pagle; I just had fishing maxed out at 225. I can't confirm if there is a minimum level to acquire this quest or not but it worked for me at 36.

Oh, and one last thing before you start - set your hearthstone to the Inn in Theramore before starting your quest since it will save you an enormous amount of time returning to Theramore from the Swamp of Sorrows.

1) Feralas Ahi - flew to Thalanar and snuck along the north side of the mountain range (south of the main road) to avoid Camp Mojache. Once I hit Woodpaw Hills, I headed north to the main road, followed the road west for a while, and then headed north off the road right before the bridge that crosses the Verdantis River. I found a fairly secluded spot in a ravine on the west side of the river (62,50). I caught the Ahi on my 12th cast. This was probably the hardest one to complete, due to the zone being set for a higher level (40-50) than my Druid at the time. Also, the river is very close to the entrance to Dire Maul.

2) Sar'theris Striker - flew to Nijel's Point in Desolace and followed the main road south and then west to the coast. I picked a spot just north of the lighthouse Ethel Rethor (39,22) and caught the Striker on my 11th cast. I then hearthed back to Theramore.

3) Savage Coast Blue Sailfin - flew to Ratchet and hopped the boat to Booty Bay. Jumped off the dock and swam north to the aforementioned rock (26,69). I stood on the west side of the rock (so it was between myself and the beach) and caught a Sailfin on my 10th cast. This was by far the easiest one in the bunch.

4) Misty Reed Mahi Mahi - flew to Nethergarde Keep, ran north to the Swamp of Sorrows, and then followed the mountains east/south east to the coast (keep a look out for the stealthy Shadow Panthers and guards at the eastern entrance to Stonard). Once I reached the coast, I ran north until I saw three small islands just off the coast. Originally, I swam out to the largest of the three islands, but as GeeSeXaaR mentions in a previous post, this island is actually in The Forbidding Sea, not in the Misty Reed Strand where you need to be. I stood on the north side of the small island closest to shore (92,81) and caught a Mahi on my 17th cast.

From there, I hearthstoned back to the Inn in Theramore and then swam over to Nat's camp to complete the quest. When I turned my fish in, I was at level 37 and received 5550 XP and the artisan fishing skill. Well, I hope this helps any of you anglers out there wanting to complete this quest. I'm heading out into the world now to level my fishing skill up to 300!

SoS really ticked my GF off...standing next to me, I got mine in one cast, took her approx. a dozen casts.

Stv, I picked that one up just north of BB while doing the fishing tourney....where the naga's are. Was nowhere near the coords listed here.

Commento di Allakhazam

I'm a horde player.

I followed the above instructions for coordinates, and except for Feralas, it took me 10-15 minutes in each place. I don't think the coordinates were bad, maybe the quest has just been nerfed to be more challenging. Just thought this would be helpful info for those who don't get the fish in a few casts.

Commento di Allakhazam

The coords are spot on, but it took a long time to catch the fish for me
Desolace-42 casts
Feralas-21 casts
Swamp of Sorrow-27 casts
STV-23 casts

I'm 225 fishing, with +25 fishing pole using dynamic fish attractors

Edited, Jun 17th 2007 1:18pm by Snudge

Commento di Allakhazam

First off, yes...you need to be 225 to activate this quest. And no it is not required but recommended to be higher than 35 to avoid being killed by the mobs.

Nat Pagle is on one of the miniature islands from the furthest south west in Theramore Isle.

((You do not need the prequests. You can go to him directly once you have 225 fishing))

Started at level 55 with my frostsaber cub. None of the animals I trained on had fishing required.

It is very helpful to have the 100 bobbers! "Your Fish Got Away!" is very annoying!

First one is in Desolace. Follow the road on your map drawing west past "Thunder Axe Fortress" and continue to the beach.
You will start to cross into some grassy area called "Sar'Theris Strand". Follow the beach until you face the boat on the southern end of the beach.

Feralas is next. Work your way to "Dire Maul". Follow the road a bit east from Dire Maul to the nearby lake.

STV. Fly to the Barrens and take the boat. Then you have to run to the "Ruins of Zul'Kunda".
Go to the beach where you found one of the troll tablets you collected on a similar quest location. Fish on the beach.

Lastly, swamp of sorrows. Go to the north eastern end of the swamp and fish off the beach anywhere.

I didn't like this quest one bit. It took me about 3 hours. In total of all the stuff that I got from doing this quest:

1 Misty Reed Mahi Mahi.
1 Sar'theris Striker.
1 Feralas Ahi.
1 Savage Coast Blue Sailfin. (I got last at 26,42 in the Southern Savage Coast)

1 Superior Healing poting.
5 Raw Nightfin Snapper.
7 That got away.
10 Raw Mithril Head Trout.
12 Raw Suncale Salmon.
26 Oily Blackmouth.
27 Firefin Snapper.
42 Raw Redgill.
46 Raw Spotted Yellowtail.
81 Raw Rockscale Cod.

I had to use 5 Aquadynamic Fish Attractor. In all a pain....though I guess I just got very unlucky cause you all say you got in less then 7 casts. =P
I don't think that I will ever fish again.
Good luck you you all.

Feralas---<10 cast ath the sharp bend in river next to dead tree.(river runs east to west right off the road below Dire Maul.
Swamp of Sorrows--<10 cast from the coastline. I got to the Horde camp, and just ran east.

get the fishing start quest from the fishing guy in the forlon cavern in ironforge... then go see nat... he is on a little island south of theramore... u have to swim it

MAKE SURE U HAVE THE QUEST FISRT AS THE FISH ARE ALL QUEST ITEMS AND WONT DROP UNLESS U HAVE THE QUEST

also it seems to help if u attach a bobber or such to ur fishing pole to get the quest fish faster

Stranglethorn Vale - 29,27
Swamp of Sorrows - 94,40

longest cast so far has 5 casts and that was in Desolace going to StV for last fish!

At the very north tip of the strand in desolace there is a sunken ship you swim out to it jump on the floating crate then to the ship mast and cast from there and you'll soon have your fish imho. I got it second cast. there is some strange building to the east of this ship site on that part of the coast.

Followed to co-ords and didn't have a problem. In Feralas it kept saying "fish got away" but after about 15 casts got it. Didn't use any lures at all.

Commento di Allakhazam

A lot of the earlier posts cited 94,36 as the place to catch the Mahi Mahi, but I tried for over an hour with no luck. The carrier on top of the giant turtle (89,78) is fun if you're high enough level to get around the Morlocs, and it worked in about ten casts for me. The island at 92,81 looks like a good spot too, as it is out in the deep water.

Wherever you try it, make sure your mini-map says Misty Reed Strand. Good fishing!

Commento di Allakhazam

i cant do it!
every time i try to fish in those areas, it says "your fish got away" and Im 250 with a 100 bait!

what can i do?

Commento di Allakhazam

Just completed this with my Lvl 36 gnome warlock, and much easier with mount at this level. Before mounts at 30, I had tried this quest with various classes between 35 and 40 and died several times getting through Swamp of Sorrows. Other locations were easier to find a path so as not aggro any mobs, even without mount.

Commento di Allakhazam

Just went through this quest with a lvl 36 priest, and caught each of the 4 fish on first cast in locations shown earlier. This must have been made a lot easier since the 3.02 patch.

Even a little disappointing, since after the effort of getting through the Swamp of Sorrows and Feralas, I was hoping for a bit of leisure time just fishing for each fish. Not to be. So given I had flight points near to each spot already, this easily took less than 30 minutes.

Commento di Allakhazam

1. Misty Reed Mahi Mahi, Swamp of Sorrows: it is the body of water on the coast east of Stonard.
2. Sar'theris Striker, Desolace: up the coast north of Shadowprey Village (it's a good treck inland north around the mountains and then to the water)
3. Feralas Ahi, Feralas: the river is just south-east of Dire Maul (the main raod goes right over it0
4. Savage Cost Blue Sailfin, Stranglethorn Vale: Flew to Grom Gol and walked west gate outside village and then south 10 secs

Commento di Allakhazam

ignore uber's co-ord for Desolace. They should be 25, 78.

Commento di Allakhazam

Don't know if it's just me, but with two characters I couldn't catch any of the required fisg until I got the quest. Spent about a half hour fishing each of the 4 locations. Once I picked up the quest, the fish came!.

Commento di Allakhazam

Misty Reed has a blind spot as far as the mobs are concerned you can fish at lvl 35 without aggroing anything. Blind spot is to the right of you as you look at the beach from the jungle, just around the corner. If you find it hell getting there from Stonard, then run/swim from BB around the coast (I kid you not!). Avoiding the mobs brings you to the blind spot.

Commento di Allakhazam

Feralas ... 62,52 ... 9.5min

In the castle (Theramore)across the water from Nat is a flight path to Dark shore where you can catch the boat to Stormwind. This might work for you if you already have the flight paths going from there, and you hate running through from the barrens.

I had no luck inSTV on The Savage Coast until I went just south of the Horde town where the mouth of the river comes out... then it took about 6-8 casts and I got it.

Commento di Allakhazam

*edit* I was able to find the location later this afternoon. For anyone without coords capability, head west of Camp Mojache and there is a very small "river" just before you get to DM. I caught the fish there on the first cast using a bauble (I wasn't able to catch anything without the bauble).

My knowledge of Feralas is limited and I don't have coordinates. Can someone tell me the general area where I can find the fish by looking at a map? I was fishing in the river-ish thing that runs under the Camp but my fish kept "getting away" - I can only imagine I'm not in the right area.

Thanks!

This is simple, whaver it says to fish ie Savage Coast, is what your minimap has to say where you are fishing. If it insead says: Grol-Grom Basecamp or Southern Savage Coast. You will not catch the quest fish there.

Bobbles: Duh, increasing your fishing gives you a better chance to catch something each time. You have to get something, to also get your quest fish. So if you keep getting "Your fish got away" then use a bobble. Duh.

These are as good as any.

Commento di Allakhazam

When your fishing skill gets to be 225, the fishing trainer in Iron Forge will send you to Nat Pagle in Theramore. You have to be at least level 35 and you can NOT get this quest until you ARE at 225 ~ which sucks = it means you can't get any skill-ups while working on the quest. You will get a little bit of silver and some change for doing this step. You can skip it if you want to ~ I think. I didn't with either of my toons. Every copper adds up! LOL

He will want you to go fish up 4 different fish from 4 different zones. You won't need a lure for any of them.

I am going to give you coordinates in case TomTom (or whatever add-on you use) is working again but I am also going to give directions in case it isn't. Be sure your mini-map says the zone section or you wont catch the fish. Also, I did this on my alliance toons - my horde toon isn't old enough yet, so I can't give directions from those closer FPs. But if you have half-a-clue about the zones, you should still be able to figure it out.

(This next tip you probably have already figured out on your own.) Keep in mind that even tho TomTom isn't working and coordinates are not showing up at the bottom of the BIG map, you can still use them to give you a general idea of where you need to go. Maps and coordinates are laid out on a 100-grid so you can look at them as a percentage.

For example, the first fish mentioned below is at 21.8, 87.5. So that tells me it is 21% of the way across the map from the left. And 87% of the way down the map from the top. Just like reading - left to right, top to bottom.

Nat Pagle is at 52, 60 on a little island almost directly west of the docks in Theramore. Easest way to reach him is to swim from the docks (if you are alliance). There are several "rocks" (islands) on your mini-map - his is closer to land than the bay that you will swim thru from Theramore - kinda but not quite in the middle of all the little islands. By the time you can see his dock and tent, you should have a yellow ? on your mini-map.

This is the order I did them in simply because of travel time = there are two on each continent:

Name of Fish - loc - Zone Section - Zone
Sartheris Striker - 21.8, 87.5 - Sartheris Strand - Desolace. For this one I flew to Feralas (the one farthest west). Swim or take boat to main land. Run up hill and turn left and head to Desolace. If you didn't do any of the centaur-faction quests in Nijel's point, you can run thru the centaur village on the left and keep going to the coast. Follow the coast south and west and you will have to continue on swimming for a little ways when you run out of beach. Stay close to the rock/land so you do not get fatigued. You will come to a rock that you can just BARELY stand on - can't fish while swimming. This is where you want to be to catch this fish.

Ferais Ahi - 62.3, 52.3 - Verdantis River - Feralas. Head back to Feralas the way you came but instead of going to the dock, keep running up the road towards Dire Maul. The first bridge you come to will be Verdantis River. Keep an eye out for mobs. This loc is safe from wanderers. So if you have problems with mobs, you should move to a different spot on the river.

Savage Coats Blue Sailfin - 26.8, 70.1 - Southern Savage Coast - Stranglethorn Vale. Head back to flight path, go to Ratchet, take boat to Booty Bay. When you step off boat, turn left and jump in water and start swimming. There will be a rock-projection on your right. This is the area where (if you did the quest) that you killed "Pretty Boy" to get Catalina's knife back. Stand on the rock and fish.

Misty Reed Mahi Mahi - 91.1, 82.2 - Misty Reed Strand - Swamp of Sorrows. Go back to Booty Bay and take FP to Natherguard Keep (for alliance) in Blasted Lands or (for horde) Stonard (if you have it). If you don't have this FP yet, for alliance fly to Duskwood and take road north and east. You will cross a bridge and have a choice to go = GO LEFT thru Deadwind Pass. You will be on the west side of the zone and you need to go to the east side to the coast. Follow the road until you come to a fork. The right fork will take you to Blasted Lands (the alliance FP is on the left side of the road to the east a little ways inside the compound). The left fork will take you to horde territory so you will have to go even farther north off the road and around the compound. There is wildlife every where to avoid (you can kill them if you want but that eats up time). Once you get to the coast, you will want to be farther south by a murloc village. There will be another little island you need to swim out to. Again, it will have just enough space to stand on to fish. Be careful that your mini map says Misty Reed Strand - two steps in the wrong direction will take you out of the correct zone section.

Now head back to Nat Pagle and turn in your quest.

Just want to chime in here. Just finished this quest this morning. 1 cast at each location, caught the fish the first time - at all 4 spots.

Locations listed in other posts are spot on.

Commento di Allakhazam

Very few of these fish took more than a few casts in each locale. The only fish that didn't cooperate very easily was the Feralas one, but with a +75 lure, I had one within 5 minutes. The only bad part about the quest was having to go across the whole world for all 4 fish.

Commento di Allakhazam

I caught the ahi a long time ago and it's been sitting in my bank

The Mahi at 95,45 - 1st try
Sar'theris Striker at 26,79 - 1st try
Savage Coast Bluefin at 34,35 - 15 casts

Good luck!

Commento di Allakhazam

Dunno if anyone else experienced this, but not sure the quest works anymore. Stood for the better part of 3 ½ hours in feralas, on 62,52, trying to catch that godawful fish. After catching 200+ raw redgill, 100 nightfin, 60 oily blackmouth and a couple of other fishes / weird stuff i decided to call it for the day. Will try again soon, but kinda fed up with fishing atm. Anyone got any clues?

Commento di Allakhazam

Coords below were spot on. Took the quest fish on first cast for SoS, BB, Feralas on 2nd cast, Desolace on like 4th.

Commento di Allakhazam

As Throlas said you don't have to go to the Savage Coast. You can catch the fish on the Southern Savage coast, too. When you come out of Booty Bay right after the first curve in the road you will see a waterfall going into a pool. There is a second waterfall and pool right above it. Go up to the pool above and dive in. There is an opening across with a rock in it. Swim across to it and it will say Southern Savage coast. You can stand on the rock and cast into the pool and catch the fish. The coords are 27.67. There are no mobs around it, so it's safe for a lowbie.

Commento di Allakhazam

Didn't use any lures at all.

STV (25,19) - 4 casts.
Swamp (94,36) - 28 casts... sigh
Desolace (32,36) - 5 casts.
Feralas (62,51) - 2 casts.

Commento di Allakhazam

Took me a total of 50 casts no bobbers to land em all... Feralas was the easiest to do. I cast it bit all done.

For STV the best spot (3 casts) is right near BB itself like already mentioned, swim north from dock and fish from rock near the pirates.

Commento di Allakhazam

Nat is at 58,60 which is almost dead west of the docks of Theramore. His Island is along the western coast near the south end where it curves to the west. You also will "Discover" "Nat's Landing" when you get to him.
If you take the quest from Lumak, you will get a "?" on your mini-map when you get close to Nat.
You do get exp for completing the quest, though I forget how much.

South-east of "Beezil's Wreck" tent in Dustwallow Marsh is a path through the mountain to the water, 54,57 54,58. If you follow this path to the water, you'll have a ship wreck to your right, an island straight ahead and one to the left. "Nat's Landing" is the one on the left. You can also return this way. Much safer, and way shorter, than going along the coast for any distance, if you are not a high level.

Took me quite a few casts for all but the one in Feralas, like more than 10 casts for each, with bobble +80.

Commento di Allakhazam

omg im doing something wrong? i have made over 50 casts in Swamp of Sorrows (misty reed strand) and STILL not got the damn quest fish, im getting so pissed off, maybe they changed the drop rate in the new patch, stupid typical blizzard!

Commento di Allakhazam

after 30mins of fishing in savage coast i still don't have Savage Coast Blue Sailfin.........

Commento di Allakhazam

Can someone tell me how to found and use somsing
like Stranglethorn Vale - 29,27
Can not se 29,27 or any other position in the map

Commento di Allakhazam

As of patch 1.8 this quest (and the Cooking and First Aid quests) can be attained at level 35. Still requires 225 Fishing skill.

Commento di Allakhazam

Just did this after ages of not getting my skills up!

So first go to the pier in the Valley of Honour in Oggrimar talk to fishing trainer, he Will tell you that you are "too good" (when you are at 225) and this starts a quest to talk to "Pat Nagle"

Pat can be located on an island just South of Theramore (Dustwallow Marsh nearest Town (Horde))

When you find Pat he will send you on a Quest to get 4 rare fish, these can be found in the following areas:

Ferelas Ahi:
When you get off at the flight path go left out of the village staying on the road until you reach a bridge (Just South of Dire Maul), fish here! in the river that runs under the bridge

Mist Reed Mahi Mahi:
Swamp of sorrows, go out from village taking Northen exit and follow path round by mountains to Misty Reed Reef, there are loads of Murkgills there so fish to the left of them and you should be ok

Sartheris Striker:
Shadowprey Village is the nearest Flightpath so go there, i couldnt get this off of the pier so i swam left until my location bar changed to Sartheris Strand and found a spot of land.

Savage Coast Blue Sailfin:
This is the easiest to get, just go to Grol Gom in ST and go outside the village (behind where the Zepplin Lands)and fish!

Note: Before setting off i bought 4 Baubles +75 fishing from on the Pier in the Valley of Honour, i know that some of the fish require this and they are cheap,so i bought 4 and used one in each location to be safe!

All fish caught in couple cast except for sartheris striker. Took me about 100 casts to get the striker in desolace.

Commento di Allakhazam

Location was 22, 19. Looks like anywhere is good.

Commento di Allakhazam

all were quick except fockin feralas! Took me about 30 to 40 mins of non stop casting!

Commento di Allakhazam

I found if u find yourself casting 40 times for one quest try and move your toon a few feet from where you where casting. Try recasting in that new location and the fish should appear. It worked for me when I was having bad luck.

Commento di Allakhazam

Commento di Allakhazam

I did this quest on 3/19/05:
XP: 3,900
Level completed at: 43
Class: Mage (Fire, Arcane)
Number of Casts to get Quest Fish:
Swamp of Sorrows (Misty Reed Strand) -> 17 casts
Desolace (Sartheris Strand) -> 8 casts
Feralas (Verdantis River) -> 18 casts
Stranglethorn Vale (Savage Coast) -> 6 casts
Tips:
- Make sure you are on "The Savage Coast" and not "The Southern Savage Coast".
- All of these places are relatively safe for Alliance players except for Feralas where I got ganked multiple times.
- The catch rate of these fish seem to deviate greatly amoung people, don't give up, you'll catch'em.

Commento di Allakhazam

Where Do You Get the Starting Quest from? I am 225 Fishing. DO I get it From Nat himself or is it from some obscure place in Dustwallow Marsh?

Commento di Allakhazam

I got all my fish within 10 casts each except the one on Savage coast, that one took near a half hour to drop :( but at least I've got it finished :)

Commento di Allakhazam

Does anyone know if you can catch these fish if you don't currently have the quest? (Meaning - can I go catch the fish before I get the quest?) Or do they only "drop" if you have the quest active?

Maybe it's the new patch, but I just dinged 35 and got the quest...flying to Feralas now.

Commento di Allakhazam

I just came back from a break from the game and got my skills up to the 225 mark. So fishing was the first one to do. Im a 35 night elf hunter and found nearly all of these areas unexplored. However, I did manage to get all the fish, after a few deaths along the way (mainly because of my lack of knowledge of the areas).
I got them on first cast except for the Savahe coast which was 3 casts and about 4/5 casts in feralas.
I decided just to gate home to Stormwind and fly to Theramore to complete :)

Commento di Allakhazam

This is marked as needing a pre req quest. I didnt do it. I just travelled to dustwallow marsh 60,60 to find Nat Pagle and started the quest. I was skill 225 and level 38 at the time. Caught his fish in 12 casts total. 225 skill, +20 skill rod and +100 lures.

Commento di Allakhazam

Man, they must have changed something...

I've been going at Sar'theris Strand for about 30 min now (almost 60 fish) with not one striker. I tried the first 30 min with no lure but with +25 pole. The last 30 min I went in with 225+25+100(afa) so it's not a matter of skill..

Commento di Allakhazam

Just completed the quest as a level 37 Rogue, and in the process discovered that herbalist's Eden, Swamp of Sorrows. The coordinates provided in the posts below were dead on. The SoS was the hardest at my level. I was able to stealth through to the coast with no trouble (and pick up A LOT of herbs along the way!), but the level 41 and 42 crocs were too plentiful for me. I got lucky that one night a level 39 Palladin happened to be there hunting crabs, and we helped each other clear a croc-free zone (Thanks, Corliss!).

I was actually quite surprised how easy the Feralas spot was to get to. Only problem was the three level 42 wolves pacing back and forth right at the coordinates I was needing. However, directly across from that spot was a jutting embankment which I scouted several meters back, and there were no mobs at all to be seen around it, so I fished from here, and in about 15 casts got my Feralas Ahi.

A sidenote: In Namuk's post (which should appear below this one) he states that he finally caught his Ahi after NOT using a fish attractor. When I first started casting at the river, I kept getting bites but then the "Your fish got away" message, so I attached bright baubles (+75) to the rod and started catching Redgill, Sunscale Salmon and Nightfin Snapper, fish I had never seen nor heard of previously. This is also when I caught the quest fish Ahi, so apparently it makes no difference if you're using fishing enhancements or not, and I felt much better to be catching any fish than to keep seeing the "Hey, Dummy, you suck!" message over and over.

Commento di Allakhazam

just helped a friend today and it seems to be working fine...took him about 5-6 casts...good luck

Commento di Allakhazam

did the q at lv 35 (alliance side) in 3h.

Commento di Allakhazam

This was quite doable to me, spent a lot more time travelling than fishing. I fished all of this with 225 skill and a +75 Bright Baubles lure. I had it in 5 casts in Feralas, 2 casts in the Swamp of Sorrows and about 10 casts in both Stranglethorn Vale and Desolace, I think.

Commento di Allakhazam

Just finished this quest. I'm on my way to turn it in now.

The only problem I encountered was in feralas, and there is was just a little bit longer than the others. Patience is a virtue, those that are patient will definitely finish this easily.

Commento di Allakhazam

Just finished getting a Sar'theris Striker... the fishing location is in the SW portion of the map along the coast. Took 45 casts to catch a striker.
2nd part down... swamp of sorrows... 3 casts for a Misty Reed Mahi Mahi (on the coast).
3rd part down... savage coast... 32 casts for the Savage Coast Blue Sailfin (NW Coast).
Last part done ... by the waterfalls in feralas... 15 casts

Commento di Allakhazam

I completed this at Level 40 and got 3900 XP for it while it was still red.

All of these can be fished in relatively safe locations once you get there. In Desolace, fish near the Cenarion Circle girls. In Ferelas, right off the road to the north, once you get east of Dire Maul. In the Swamp of Sorrows, I got to the beach north of the Dragonkin island, and stood right by the edge. In Stranglethorn, I walked south along the coast and stopped the minute it said 'Savage Coast' for the region name.

In all cases, I was able to stand there for the full 10 minute bait time and catch what I needed to. The Mahi Mahi took a little over 10 minutes but was still easy with a Fishing of 225 and a +2 rod.

Swimming to Nat Pagle just takes guts. If a thrasher hits you on the way, go full tilt to the nearest island and get out of the water to heal. There are enough stepping stone islands to make it possible.

Commento di Allakhazam

I dont know why but I cant get up from 225. I`ve completed the quest at lvl 40 now I am 60 and still cant get skill unlocked. If someone else know anything about this bug and can help me I`ll be most grateful.

The coordinates posted by Bradlius were spot on:
Feralas -62,53(first cast)
Desolace -26,77(first cast)
Stranglethorn Vale -29,27(eighth cast)
Swamp of Sorrows -94,40(third cast)

3900xp at level 40. The only minor annoyance were the crocs on the beach in STV, and the travel time. Other than that, no problem. Didn't even get rolled by Horde (though I shared the Feralas spot with a ? Tauren, guess he was more interested in fishing than squishing)

Commento di Allakhazam

3rd cast @ (62,52) Feralas
5th cast @ (24,62) Desolace

The other 2 I didn't note casts (but I know they were less than 15 each...) or location however I believe they were somewhere around...

STV (25,19)
Swamp (94,36)

I'm currently a level 42 Tauren Hunter and found using my mount helped speed up travel time and had less agro's than when I tried and ran it prior to level 40.

I'm now off to Nat Pagle who is supposedly located at 58,59 on a rock in Tidefury Cove.

Cheers!

Having done this quest on both a horde and an alliance character, I do feel that the quest is horde biased. I say this because all 4 fishing zones for the quest can be found very close to a horde flightpoint. As an alliance I spent a lot of time running (well, riding since I have my epic mount)

Perhaps Blizz will review this at some point and make it a bit more even? That would be nice :)

Nat Pagle, Angler Extremeis @ 58,59

for those w/o Cosmos...
Directly SW of the I in Isle there is a piece of shore that faces SE. Along that coast there is a Triangle of Islands in the center. North most island (the top of the triangle)

**BEFORE you go see Nat Pagel you must talk to the fishing trainer in Valley of Honor, Orgrimar to receive the quest.

Hmmm, odd. I managed to get the quest without talking to the fishing trainer first.

Commento di Allakhazam

As Horde, I found it terribly difficult to get down to the coast in Dustwallow. A much easier way is to swim up from Tanaris (Steamwheedle Port). Kind of long, but no distractions & no probs, you come to the Dock and head west to his island (Cosmos 58,60)

If you are lvl 40, w/skill 225, you do not need the pre-requisite quests.

Commento di Allakhazam

Just got the quest done today. Used these locs:

- 3 casts on 25,78 Desolace
- 7 casts on 62,51 Feralas
- 1 cast on 25,19 STV
- 4 casts on 94,36 Swamp of Sorrows

Commento di Allakhazam

Oh, and I didn't have to do the pre-req to get this quest. THis the case for anyone else?

found the one for desolace at 31,37. On the strip of land below Ethel Rethor, north of the mountains of Valley of Spears. Hope it helps someone, I had a lot of trouble getting this one.

Commento di Allakhazam

Desolace....25,75.....15 casts (also 6 Rockscale Cod, 5 Spotted Yellowtail, 3 Oily Blackmouth)
Feralas.....62,52......4 casts (also 2 Redill, 1 Mithril Head Trout, Sunscale Salmon; the quest item was caught along with the 4th fish)
STV.........25,58......9 casts (also 6 Rockscale Cod, 2 Spotted Yellowtail, 1 Oily Blackmouth)
SoS.........78,95.....14 casts (also 4 Rockscale Cod, 5 Oily Blackmouth, 2 Firefin Snapper, 3 Spotted Yellowtail)

Keep in mind, the surplus fish can be used to level your cooking skills or can be sold on AH for a fair amount of money.

Happy fishing!

*********************************************************************************************

As of 11/10/08 - I am once again on this quest on another character along with 2 friends of mine. Of the first two locations, the three of us caught the quest items on the first cast. It seems Blizzard has made this quest much easier and faster to complete.

Jesus... you guys are incredibly lucky. I have 225 skill, using a Big Iron Fishing Pole (+20 skill) and Bright Baubles (+70 skill), so I'm at 315. I've been fishing for hours, I've given up on some regions and tried others, I've gone to the specific coordinates mentioned in the posts above and in other coordinates mentioned on thottbot, and I haven't caught jack %^&*. My bags are overflowing with Firefin Snappers, Rockscale Cod, Spotted Yellowtail and many others... but not a single quest fish. I'm starting to think I'm bugged or something.

I definitely have the quest, I'm definitely fishing in the right spots, and I'm definitely not catching what I need to.

Commento di Allakhazam

Note, Nat Pagle is technically located at 58,59 on a rock in Tidefury Cove, just west off the Theramore Isle dock in Dustwallow Marsh. 60,60 was the wrong rock and not the actual one Nat was standing on. Not that he's that far away, but the technical coords when you're standing on top of Nat is actually 58,59 just so you don't get confused or think he's not there.

Good luck!

Commento di Allakhazam

All are very accurate. The SOS on 94.40 although was dead on, 4 casts

Cordenates don't have to be followed...

you can fish from anywhere in the general area.... anywhere along that river in feras, anywhere in that little shore in desilance, anywhere in the savage cost, ect ect....

this is rather easy... long as you have all the flight paths and a mount you can do this in about an hour

Human Rogue Lvl41, Fishing 225, Strong Fishing Pole +5 Fishing

Feralis Ahi: 62.3, 52.3 Verdantis River, FERALAS
Sartheris Striker: 21.8, 87.5 Sartheris Strand, DESOLACE
Savage Coast Blue Sailfin: 26.8, 70.1 Southern Savage Coast, STRANGLETHORN VALE(Thanks to Dpyers' post)
Misty Reed Mahi Mahi: 91.1, 82.2 Misty Reed Strand, SWAMP OF SORROWS

This is a quick run through of how i went about it.
Fly from Theramore to Thalanaar(FERALAS) then ride west along the southern mountains to miss the lake and Camp Mojache. As soon as you get to the west side of the lake follow the road to Verdantis River. I found a fallen tree on the west side of the bridge near the river. Catch Feralis Ahi.

Now ride back to Thalanaar and fly to Nijel's Point (DESOLACE). Head southwest to the compass circle in the water on the map. I swam south along the mountain to find a safe area and caught Sartheris Striker. 2 down, 2 to go. Get back to Nijel's Point.

Fly to Ratchet (THE BARRENS) and jump on a boat for Booty Bay (STRANGLETHORN VALE). Ok this is the easiest of all thanks to Dpyers. Jump off the boat or the dock and swim North maybe 100 yards, there is a big rock on the beach. Avoid the Bloodsails and catch Savage Coast Blue Sailfin. Now swim to Booty Bay and fly to Darkshire (DUSKWOOD).

If you don't have Nethergarde Keep FP (FLIGHT PATH) this is a good time and discovery experience for me was great (Thousands). From Darkshire FP ride East along the road through Deadman's Crossing (DEADWIND PASS) and into SWAMP OF SORROWS. Now stll following the road take the right fork south east and a second right further down to go south into THE BLASTED LANDS. Keep the mountain on your left and you'll find a mine and Nethergarde Keep. FP in south East corner top of a tower. Now go back into SWAMP OF SORROWS.

This time at the second junction go north then East to Stonard, I recommend sticking to the mountain side and riding like hell East to the water. When you get to Stagalbog Cave you are 3/4 way there. Soon as you get to the coast check map for an island in south east corner. Swim out to it and catch Misty Reed Mahi Mahi.

All 4 Done, now go to Nethergarde Keep, fly to Booty, boat to Rathchet, fly to Theramore and swim to Nat Pagle. Hope this helps.

In Reply to Izzy, when you complete the quest you will have 225/300 fishing not before. So after the quest grab some bait and go to Tanaris and Feralas or the like and fish to your hearts content to skill up.

*** includes 13 "fish got away" and 4 time ran out Had to add a +50 bobber here just to lower the odds of getting "fish got away"

Commento di Allakhazam

Sar'theris Striker - 1 cast
Feralas Ahi - 3 casts
Savage Coast Blue Sailfin - 11 casts
Misty Reed Mahi Mahi - 20-some casts before I realized I was in Misty Reed, but casting into the Ocean zone. Moved and caught on 2nd try (Uhg)

Commento di Allakhazam

I tried for about 60 fishes till someone told me to NOT use a Fish Attractor. After that i got it with one cast.

Commento di Allakhazam

I followed the instructions to swim out til it said "Savage Coast". Caught the fish on my 4th cast. Was up by north part of the map, just south of the neutral 60 trolls.

Commento di Allakhazam

it doesn't matter where you go in STV as long as you are on the coast, I caught my Savage Coast Blue Sailfin at 27, 68 in what it said was the Southern Savage Coast. Don't go all the way to North STV when you can do it anywhere

Commento di Allakhazam

Does anyone know if it is possible to buy the fish at AH and then hand in to Nat to finish the quest?

Commento di Allakhazam

Thanks that was a great help :) and lots of new places visited Alliance Pally 35

One note make sure you fish first island in SOS as the second one is actually in the forbiden sea! It finally sank in after about 10 casts I wasnt in the right zone!

Thanks

Others below have mentioned this but want to make sure it's one of the newest posts for visibility. Take some lures with you to Verdantis River in Feralas otherwise you'll have a lot of fish getting away from you. I didn't have a lure so it took me over 30 minutes to catch the Feralas Ahi.

Commento di VoOdOoJaZzOfFiRe

In order to get nat pagle to have a quest for you, you must first be at least be level 35 and level 225 fishing. No other quests are related in order to unlock this quest in any other way.

Commento di Rostkebab

Did it at level 35 with some careful navigating high level areas and bringing some lures.

Commento di reginadilevka

Not lvl 40, but 35

Commento di Woodde

All the coordinates given are not really necessary. I just went to each area, and made sure the name of where I was (text above mini map) matched what the quest said and caught all the fish with no problems. Sometimes I was far away from the coordinates given here. Also I never used a lure, and only failed in one fishing attempt in Feralas. I do however have a Big Iron Fishing Pole which gives me +20, so you might need a minor lure.

Commento di soson22

You really cant spend your time to find specific location while you're in the right zone to catch one of four tasty fish. All you need is patient and strong fishing pole. GL and follow the advice of Nat Pagle - fishing is a good oportunity to drink. A lot.

Commento di steinarms

Coordinates helped a alot, thanks for that.
fished all without lures and a +5 fishing pole.
all caught in 5-6 throws except in Feralas, that took ~40throws, so a lure would be recommended.

Commento di webphut74

I just did this quest at level 35/36. I leveled during my travels during the quest. There were only two difficult parts for me. One, was getting to the quest giver and Swamp of Sorrows. The mobs are dense and red as far as mob levels go. With a creativity and patience anyone eligible for this quest, can do this quest. No need to be pinpointed in a specific spot, just make sure your location bar says the location noted in the quest. Each fish averaged about 10 casts.

Commento di propyro

Looks like there's a lot of variability in catch rates, and not much you can do to improve it other than make it more likely that every cast is successful.

I almost burned through the effect of two lures catching the Savage Coast Blue Sailfin, but caught the Feralas Ahi on the first cast. I was using the Nat Pagel Extreme Angler rod (+25 fishing) and Night Crawlers as a lure (+75 Fishing). Guess the key is to just never miss a cast, the more hits you get the more likely your quest fish is going to be in there since it's by-catch with some other fish that's normal for the zone you're fishing in.

Commento di Twisted33

Can NOT be caught while in a raid.
Fun thing I found out 100 catches in.
Caught on the second try once I realized it.

Feralas Ahi -- 2 tries (no lure)
Misty Reed Mahi Mahi
Sar'theris Striker -- 30 tries (with 1 lure - caught without a lure on)
Savage Coast Blue Sailfin

Coordinates provided by other users are accurate.

Will edit when I finish the next two!

Commento di Birdman3310

Desolace -- anywhere on the west coast, doesn't have to be anywhere by Shadowprey Village - 5 catches

STV --- anywhere on west coast, INCLUDING "southern savage coast" right outside of booty bay - that took me 53 catches

Feralas - easy, there's only one small body of water -- 7 catches

Swamp of Sorrows -- anywhere on the coast --- 36 catches

All of these were done obviously at 225 with a +100 lure on --- so "328" fishing

Commento di SarafinaNL

Your itinerary:

Our journey starts in Dustwallow Marsh, where you'll converse with Nat Pagle (58, 60)
You'll continue on gryphon-back towards Talanaar, from there you'll proceed your journey on your mount of choice towards the South of the ancient ruins of Dire Maul (62, 51)
After you catch your first rare fish you'll proceed North, where you'll enter Desolace and catch your second rare fish in the South-West (25, 77). At the same location you'll have the option to open numerous Shellfish Traps (with help from underwater breathing and swim-speed potions) to receive your +20 fishing pole
Following these adventures you can use the magic of your hearthstone to teleport back to one of the capital cities Ironforge or Stormwind, from here travel towards Westfall. Ride down the coastline towards the Vile Reef in Stranglethorn Vale, where your third rare fish awaits (33, 32)
Last but not least, mount up and head towards the grim town of Darkshire where you will transfer to your flight to Nethergarde Keep. From here you will brace the Swamp of Sorrows and find your final fish at the Southern coastline (90, 72)
Travel accommodations for your return to Dustwallow Marsh will not be included in this itinerary

Enjoy the next part of your fishing adventures and may the fish-gods forever be in your favor!

Commento di Jeffrion

Haven't done this since Wrath. Kept getting stuck in the game's loop between Twilight Highlands and Orgrimmar. Don't trust WoW, follow the quest line not what the game recommends.

Commento di Tymbo

Just completed this at lvl 36 with little trouble (for the most part). Used Nightcrawler lures.

Started at Swamp of Sorrows
Initially on the shore, (very north) after about 20 casts and argo'g crocs, I moved to a small island/rock with no crocs, nailed it on the 2nd cast. Note: I tried to run through the Fallow Sanctuary, and got killed for my sloppiness. Other than that, no issues getting to the sea.

Next the Savage Coast
Quick and easy (thanks to previous post). I just jumped in the Water at Booty Bay, swam to the coast, and found a spot on the shore with no one to argo. Boom, 1st cast.

On to Sar'theris Striker
No trouble getting to the coast. Nailed on the 4th cast.

Last, but not least, Verdantis River
Doing this one give me two bonuses. I was able to complete a lock quest, and snag the flight station at Feathermoon Stronghold. No argo along the way or while fishing. Completed the quest on the 5th cast.

Commento di zeophian

Don't use the fish pools! Use the regular water. :)

I failed on over 50 casts in pools, got it in 2 casts in the normal water.

Commento di Kysumu

Does anyone else think this is one of the most evil quests in WoW? Bliz must have been having a good laugh when they put this one together.

Let's make them travel all over the world to get to the fishing spots.

Let's make it so they have to be fishing 225 to get the quest to increase their fishing skill to 300.

Let's make them do loads and loads of fishing to catch the ones they want but because they're already capped at skill level 225 DON'T LET THEM GET ANY SKILL POINTS FOR ALL THE FISH THEY HAVE TO CATCH.

Lol nice one Bliz.

Commento di Dahk

I've done this quest probably half dozen times as Horde, never really thought about it. But doing it as Alliance I noticed all the "Fish" locations are right outside of Horde camps. The travel on this quest as Alliance stinks.

Commento di woodyeagle

it's taken me over 100 casts in sar'theris strand. i feel like you people are lying about less than 10 casts XD

Commento di rObOu

Completed this quest today and for some reason it made all my talent points disappear and unlearned my talent skills.
After relogging I got my talent points back so I basically got a free respec.

Commento di Grmmpy

May or may not be important but for the Savage Coast Blue Sailfin, make sure your location shows The Savage Coast and not some other place. I spent 1/2 an hour at a certain spot not noticing that the location name was Grom'gol Base Camp, moved 2 yards into The Savage Coast and caught the fish on second cast. I don't get paid enough to pay attention.

Commento di CommanderAmaro

caught all the fish in under 10 casts with 225 fishing and the +25 fishing pole and no bobbers except Feralus so fish dont get away. Just make sure your map says you are in the correct area esp the gromgol base walk a little south so you are in the right area.

Commento di Tteer

If you were wondering why you couldn't see any quest to continue fishing training:
The fishing trainer in Ironforge, Grimnur Stonebrand, is the ONLY Alliance trainer that will give you the quest to go see Nat Pagle.
The quest is called "I Got Nothin' Left!". But the quest will NOT show until you are 35 and have ALL 225 fishing points!
On the Horde side, Lumak in Orgrimmar will give you the quest, "You Too Good."
None of the other fishing trainers in the other capital cities seem to have any quest to continue training.

I took an eligible alt out to Nat WITHOUT Grimnur's quest, and Nat's quest "Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme" was available anyway.

Commento di FallinaTrollbane

I went to all the exact coords listed. I tried to stay as close to an Alliance/Neutral FP as possible. But these coords will work for either faction. I only had +75 bait and +20 fishing pole (from opening traps offshore in Desolace)

Feralas, 62:51 - 27 casts
Desolace, 25:38 - 6 casts
Stranglethorn Vale, 26:67 - 8 casts
Swamp of Sorrows, 78:5 - 26 casts

In addition to the quest fish, I also got:
Firefin Snapper x15
Oily Blackmouth x14
Spotted Yellowfin x44
Rockscale Cod x48
Stonescale Eel x2
Winter Squid x5
Raw Glossy Mightfish x6
Raw Nightfin Snapper x3
Raw Sunscale Salmon x1
(I stopped a couple extra places to fish and use up my lures a couple times)

Commento di Arxroth

Heads up for classic wrath.

You can train artisan fishing from trainers now so reward you get here is nice fishing pole.

Commento di azzag

With WOTLK Classic he no longer automatically trains you past 225 fishing. I had to go back to a fishing trainer to get that. Now he just gives you a fishing pole and goes back to drinking.

Commento di holykhaos

The only thing I can add is that it seems there are schools located at every location indicated on the map. I can confirm that the item will drop while fishing in a school or not

Commento di Allisanna

Questie now shows all the locations for each fish on the map. Very cool, if you use Questie

Commento di Abraxas79

Nat Pagle does not offer me the quest. I have well over 225 fishing skill. Is there some prerequisite that I am missing?

Commento di Allisanna

Fwiw, I fished 3 of the 4 fish with a normal pole and no lures, at 225 fishing. I got them after only a few casts. (yes, I know RNG gods at work here, but this is just a data point to indicate that the use of a lure does not seem to improve the odds...). I used a +100 lure in Desolace, but all others were without. I'm guessing here, but I think you can complete Desolace this way as well. I've done this on a few toons now, and Desolace seems to be the one that takes more casts than the others.

Commento di ArsonAardvark

Used Big Iron Fishing Pole with Nightcrawlers, pulled all 4 fishes within 3 casts in each zone. Very easy quest, considering the time consumption required to travel.

Commento di acares

Before WotLK, this quest used to be necessary to get Artisan Fishing, but now it rewards a cool fishing pole.

Commento di splitrift

If anyone was looking to do this quest on Season of Discovery in Phase 2 like I was, its not yet available. I am level 40 with 225 fishing, next phase though.

Commento di metroboomkin

The quest is available at 225 fishing, but without a lure, you are going to struggle. Get a few decent ones to increase your chances. (Ask me how I know)

Make sure you have a few inventory slots open so you don't have to fish them up more than once. (Ask me how I know)

Don't worry about finding fish pools, open water is good enough.

Descrizione

Can't say I really enjoy fishin' much. Figure I been at it for a good 20 or 30 years now.

I reckon people are driven to do what they do for different reasons.

Now, I'm not saying you need to fish for 30 years or catch every fish in the sea to become a master fisherman. I reckon you just need to be determined - determined enough to sit on your duff for hours at a time, doin' nothin'.

I'll tell you what, catch me a few rare fish and I'll teach you a thing or two. Here's a list:
