The fishing quests are indeed repeatable.

Commento di 2789

You get 23 silver for 5 tastyfish: https://www.wowhead.com/classic/quest=8194

Commento di 8101

so if its repeatable you can get both the rod and trinket?

Commento di 13082

If you are dedicated enough, you can indeed win the tournament and equip the trinket as a level 19 "twink."

Commento di 12656

I heard in chat that you can attempt this quest in a group. How does this work as the fish are soulbound when you catch them.

Commento di 17262

Do they have duration? EG. If i farm 40 the whole weekend, or i have some from the previous sunday, can i hand them in the next sunday?

Commento di Scruple

They disappear 2 hours after someone has won the tournament, if I recall. This let's you keep fishing them up for the repeatable quest to turn them in for money.

Here is a link to a full tutorial on everything you need to know about fishing, the Fishing contest, the rewards from it, and Mr. Pinchy.

Its a whole tutorial, so it wont fit in entirety here because of the 4000 character limit.

Commento di Incendium

Yes, you need enough fishing skill to be able to fish in STV waters. I believe that's somewhere around 150~ fishing, but the more you have, the easier it is to catch the fish.

Tried this quest today and was a bit dissappointed to be honest. It's basically a ratrace where a group of players run up and down the coast racing to fish in small discolored circles in the water. The circles move evry so often so it's a hectic ratrace instead of anything really resembling a rl fishing tournament. I'm sure it's fun for those who enjoy that type of thing, but it's certainly not for me. My biggest enjoyment of fishing is that I don't feel pressured or crowded while doing it, but this "tournament" removes that stuff from fishing and turns it into, well, a ratrace.

Commento di Allakhazam

Who do you have to talk to to get this quest?

Commento di Allakhazam

I've been lucky enough to win TWICE! So now I got both! Also I've gotten the Lucky Fishing Hat and Nat Pagles Boots! Now if I can get the Queenfish or whatever that gives the Eternium Fishing Line I will have everything! Nat Pagle look out! I'm gonna fish me up a Ashbringer! Haha jokes... :D

Commento di Allakhazam

does anyone kno the required fishing skill or the lvl requirement if any? and where is this quest?

Commento di Allakhazam

anyone know if it is possible to win it twice and get both rewards? Got the trinket today but the pole would be cool to have aswell.

Commento di Allakhazam

You don't pick up the quest, it's just a turn-in like the Scourgestones for Argent Dawn.
When the server clock hits 2pm, the guy in Booty Bay where you turn this in (over near the engineer portal guy) announces that the fishing extravaganza has begun. Between then and 4pm, there are little swirly fish-catching spots where you can catch the tastyfish and rare fish. First person to catch 40 and turn them in finishes the quest. Everyone else turns in their tastyfish to the female assistant next to him and any rare fish to the robot assistant.

alright so I'm working on getting my fishing skill up so that I can do this... both for the pole and for the trinket... I'll prolly take the trinket first cuz... hey... no matter who the hell you are if you're not a shaman it'll make it easier for me to get away from you in the water :p

I'm alliance... and every horde in STV is scandalous it seems... level 70s chilling outside nessingwary's expedition and killing the level 30s and camping em... it's weak and pathetic and you should be ashamed of yourself if you do this. Maybe I should go to barrens and start picking off your lowbs just cuz I can.

Doing this undermines the fun of the game and for a new player in a pvp server that's a bad thing. In a PVP server you need all the players you can get or the game isn't as fun. So stop running off the people who aren't very good at it yet.

I'm going to get the big iron fishing pole from desolace for the competition. Seems like the +20 to fishing (while small) would be a good place to start.

PS

Don't kill people equipped with fishing poles ya loser!

Commento di Allakhazam

This quest promotes very rude behavior, everyone racing around stealing peoples "schools", so rude. Then these players seem to think it's alright to do it all the time so then come over and steal your school of fish well after the tourney.

Commento di Allakhazam

Hi what level do you have to be and what level do your fishing skill have to be to be able to enter, i have another charater with very high fishing but level is on alittle over 30.

Commento di Allakhazam

No idea on the level req, but I won this the first week on a new BC server at level 30. Did it in just under 30 minutes, had to avoid mobs a lot and use +75 lures on my wimpy +5 pole, but with only 225 skill at the start I never saw any "got away" messages. So if theres no "quest" level requirement, it could be done at whatever level you can train journeyman (75-150) fishing at. Which is 10 I think? You'd need a team to keep mobs away of course.

Theres was maybe 1 other person fishing the first sunday on a brand new BC server, since 99% of the "serious" players wouldn't dare to stop leveling long enough to hit ~150 fishing. (lol) Although some of those "serious" players were buying up all my cooked deviates like hotcakes, since I saw them in pirate/ninja form all the time at the AH's. The modest time I spent skilling to 150 paid off in spades, both gold and these.

Won it the next week at level 49, in 24 minutes flat ;)
There was some competent competition then, though still low numbers compared to an established server.

I heard from someone who had their 40 fish but forgot to set hearth in BB, he showed up about a minute after I won. I would say thats a requirement to win if theres anyone else seriously trying. The other requirement would be understanding that you recast until its in the pool, I heard lots of people complain in general chat that their drop rate was 1 in 5, if it lands in the pool its around 90-95%, the rest is usually one of the alchemy fish, stranglekelp or a blue if you're really lucky.

I did get really lucky with a string of 7 or so pools in a row and lots of bouncing bobbers right after casting...the last 25 fish came so fast. A little non-combative fun and thrills on a sunday :)

how often do the fishing competitions run?

Commento di Allakhazam

you can get this fromthe guy in booty bay on the way to the bank. he'll be on like a box and people beside him.

Commento di Allakhazam

WON the tournament at level 15 while attempting to get hat and boots, chose the trinket because I can't use the pole. Was great fun, the whispers I got exclaiming I was only level 15. :D

Commento di Allakhazam

clock struck 2pm today in booty bay was there waiting with my fishing rod .. no competition any idea when excactly these are held ?

Commento di Allakhazam

What happens if i win this 3 times?
I've won this twice now and got both of the rewards.

Commento di Allakhazam

I'm pretty sure you can do this quest as many times as you want, well max 1 time a Sunday. BTW I won the fishing pole on my server Durotan in 35 minutes! Wee! =) I clicked so damn fast thru the npc text to close the tourney that I didn't have time to read what he said lol

Commento di Allakhazam

Well this is usless for a level 60, no offence to Blizzard but WTF is wrong with them?

A lower level would benefit much more from these things, let's say level 40? or 45...

I think as a priest it is much easier to get about with levitate, so far I have been all over the place and opened most fly paths at level 35:) I do use a lot of feathers but hey you can farm them from moonkin or whatever teh bear-birds in Auberdine drop them every time. Plus I'm a tailor so I made that silk belt that gives 15% swim speed.

BTW where do you start the quest?

Commento di Allakhazam

is there a required skill to get these fish? and what zone? is this the contest from booty bay?

Commento di Allakhazam

It took me over 4 months of Tourneys, but i finally won one.
The Grasshopper has become the Master (Angler)!

Some tips from a Master Angler for those frustrated from not winning (tested)

- Fish! Fish like the wind!

- Set your Hearthstone to Booty Bay. This will get you back faster once you get your 40 Speckled Tastyfish. Don't run, don't ride, don't fly. Hearth! Also, don't dawdle while turning in the fish. Right after I turned in my fish, there was another player right behind me. He was the first loser that day. ;) Speed is paramount!

- Be ready. The tourney begins at 2:00 P.M. server time. Be setup and ready to go before then. If you start the tourney late, you will not win. (Although at 23s per 5 Tastyfish, and by selling reagent fish (Firefin Snapper, Oily Blackmouth, Stonescale Eels) you can still make some money for your efforts.)

- It helps to be higher than level 40 for two reasons: The mobs won't aggro you quite as far away AND a mount is almost a must to get to the schools.

- Fishing skill.... by the time I won, my skill was 300 plus modifiers (up to 30). You need to be high enough level to fish in the area without seeing, "Your Fish Got Away" every other hit. So, a high skill is important, but I don't know a 'good' level to suggest. If you have +Fishing bonuses, use them.

- Bait.... Basically, don't waste precious fishing time by applying bait. This ties-in to the above--have a high enough Fishing Skill that you don not need to rely on bait. Bait increases your level so that you have more time between your Bobber jumping and you clicking on it. It does not improve your chance to get a bite, nor does it improve the chances of the types of fish that you will catch. If you want to use bait, apply it at 1:59 P.M. (server time) just before the tourney starts. If you are applying bait, your bobber is not in the water.

- Casting... When you cast, make sure your bobber is within the School of Tastyfish. Sometimes, because of the camera angle, it looks like it's in, but if you move the camera around you will see that you are not. If in doubt, recast. It takes less time to recast than spending the 'channeling time' and coming up with a Mithrilhead Trout or Spotted Yellowtail to realize that you were off.

- Assign the Fishing skill to a hot key so that you can cast/recast as quickly as possible.

- Location... You can find Schools of Tastyfish anywhere along Stranglethorn Vale except in Booty Bay. I suggest islands or peninsulas because you increase your shoreline in a smaller coverage area. Try to keep travel time to a minimum. If you are running/riding to locate the Schools, you are not fishing. Also, try to find a spot where not too many other players are fishing. If multiple bobbers are in a school, it makes it disapear faster. Look for the next school.

- Know the area It helps to know the general spawn locations of the Schools. There may be add-ons that show schools, but after a few fishing outtings, you will be able to know where the schools pop up.

Other notes:
I was (finally) able to win the tournament by using the above strategies. I did not use any mods or add-ons--it can be done without them. I have no suggestions for any mods or addons.

If there are unscrupulous members of the other faction that like to pick on unarmed fishermen, and you get killed you probably will not win the tourney. If your ghost is running back to your corpse, you are not fishing.

It seems that there are a set number of schools that spawn and a slightly higher number of spawn locations. When one school is depleted, another will pop in one of the other locations. Hopefully, it will pop close to you. If several players are fishing the same school, it will go away quicker. Look for the next spawn.

All tourneys start at 2:00 server time. Most are won by 2:35 - 2:45. You should be getting about 1 Tastyfish per minute (average) or better. You will catch things other than Tastyfish, just loot and recast. You should have 40 Tastyfish before 2:40.

Even if someone beats you to the turn in, you can still get some $$ from your efforts by turning in stacks of 5 Tastyfish. You will also probably catch some 'reagent' fish or Stranglekelp which are used by Alchemists. You can either sell these (Stonescale Eels gennerally go for 1g each) or make reagents if you are an Alchemist. During my time doing the Torneys, I was able to catch all of the rare fish, so I had gear with +Fishing Skill.

Besides the 3 Rare Fish that give you +Fishing gear, I also fished up the Rockhide Strongfish--a fish that can be used as a mace! Imagine whacking opponents in Battle Grounds with a fish!

Happy Angling!

P.S. If you play Horde toon, you can get Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000 which is a good Fishing Pole. It doesn't have as high of a Fishing bonus as the reward from this tourney, but id does have more DPS. ;)

The trinket is FUN!

Master Angler

Progressi

Today between 2pm and 4pm we have a contest to determine who the greatest angler of them all is! Just be the FIRST PERSON to bring me 40 Tastyfish fished from the Tastyfish schools found along the coast of Stranglethorn before anyone else does and you will be declared the Master Angler!

If you are not the first person to bring me 40 fish, my apprentice here will still reward you with money for each 5 Tastyfish you bring her.

Oh, and don't delay, Tastyfish go bad quickly!
