The fishing quests are indeed repeatable.

Commento di 2789

You get 23 silver for 5 tastyfish: http://www.wowhead.com/?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.

Commento di 15053

Found this, it gives some good information about how the fishing contest works!

Do you need a skill lvl in fishing to do this q?

Commento di 35338

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.

http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?source=live;wquest=8193&locale=enUS

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.

Commento di 58524

You need 200+ fishing to stop getting "Your Fish Got Away"

Commento di 64243

Is that true about needing 200 + fishing. I am 150 fishing and cant aford for the book to get expert fishing, and i still wanna do it....

Commento di 64243

Where is the quest giver?

Commento di joebob06

I won the contest today with 225 fishing, it took me about 25 minutes to catch all 40 fish, it didn't seem like there was alot of competition though

Commento di Keepertje8

It seems that the event is not that competitive anymore, I won it today, while I had 39 fishes I hearthstoned back to Booty Bay. I even got enuf time to get the last fish just outside Booty Bay to win the contest. No competition at all :)

Commento di 78301

it is indeed still quite competitive, I am on a PvP server, and there at least 20-30 other people trying to win the contest. I was getting ganked left and right, partly because i was killing the hordes of 19 twinks, but still, this is still a competition, and don't think that people have forgotten about it :D.

Commento di Corbon

This quest is still heavily contested on my server. I participated in today's contest and ended up with 13 fishes (skill 375+20) when the winner was declared; at 02:22 PM!

Kinda funny to see both Horde and Alliance of Lv 35-70 fishing in the same spot ;)

The fishes disappear at Sunday 6:00 PM and the female goblin awards 23s for 5 fishes (but no reputation).

Commento di Mordiceius

One of the best places to fish is Yojamba island.

Set your Hearthstone to Booty Bay and go to Yojamba. Around the entire island there are about 8-10 pools and in all my weeks fishing, no one ever goes there.

I've already won the competition twice and multiple times I've already got 40 fish before anyone else has.

Commento di 20383

Just did the tournament and I'm on a VERY low pop server, but it was insane the amount of people that were fishing! Horde were Everywhere and everyone was stealing eachothers holes, it was rediculous... The competition for this contest is NOT dead, it's as live as ever!

Commento di scampor

Yojamba seemed really populated on my server >.< at least 3 others competing.

Commento di MasterLoco

I won the contest yesterday in arround 17minutes... I just started moving from the bridge near Booty Bay @ pretty boy duncan upwards to the North.

I usualy found a new pool within 50-100 yards. 1 time I had to bridge 250ish yards I think but there wasn't really alot of competition. At least not from Horde side since like 10 Alliance were ganking everything on sight :>.

1 note tho. Having a scout riding ahead looking for the next pool is always handy.

Commento di 95219

I got 44 fish today, but only after someone had won the contest. I lagged out and then logged back in, to discover that my fish dropped their timer. Is this a bug or do I get to win the contest at exactly 2 o'clock next week?

Commento di 83352

Not sure if this is changed for all, or different at higher levels. I did the tournament last weekend and was receiving 80 silver per 5 Tastyfish. I hadn't done the tournament for a few levels, so I can't say when it changed for me (64 currently).

Commento di 63264

Yojamaba Island, coords 15 16.

Commento di smashfanDS

Do you lose rep with Bloodsail Buccaneers if you submit this quest?

Commento di 78626

The amount of gold you get is now determined on you level.

On my 70 I got around 1g 15s for 5 tastyfish, then on my 34 I got around 23s for 5 tastyfish.

Commento di VanCleef

This quest doesn't give you any Booty Bay/Steamwheedle reputation when turned in, and your Bloodsail reputation isn't affected either.

Commento di 146872

I need this trinket.Can I fish them,save them without logging,wait till 2:00,then hand in?

Commento di geoffster

Repeatable quests do not yield experience or level 70 compensation.
The reward is dependant on your level.

Commento di sorcerer25

this quest DO NOT require some level of character or fishing
i repeat ! DO NOT REQUIRE ANY LEVEL

the required level of fishing is the level of zone not quest (130 but ofc you can have a lower level and improve it with some items ;) ), and the level of your character can be 1 but you don't stand a chance, ganking and concurrence are like crazy during this contest :((
i didn't manage to win the contest, but i saw this q from level 20 or so !

btw, according to the info given in game on the tastyfishes items the timer is 4h not 2h (so ! long after 4pm), but when you get disconnected that can be cause of your computer, your network connection or ... the server, and that's a reason to lose the fishes ! :(

Commento di 162723

I got a lvl 19 twink and I do not want any more XP to it.. Does this contest give any XP when turned in?

Commento di 71027

so uhh... Did they remove the level requirement on the trinket?

cuz i know it used to be 60

Commento di 81123

If I recall, if there is a level requirement on an item it would say so.

So yes, they removed the level requirement on the trinket.

Commento di 44037

~~EASY~~

Commento di starsword

Many more people seem to be attempting to win the competition lately since it was revealed that there would be an achievement for having won it.

Commento di 107438

Are you competing with other people to get this or is it at your own pace?

Commento di cytexnl

Just won this contest as I'm preparing achievements for WotLK, here are some tips that might come in handy

1. Put your Hearthstone in Booty bay
2. Be in Stranglethorn Vale 15 minutes before the event starts so you can find a nice and deserted spot
3. Have Find Fish tought by Weather-Beaten Journal
4. A friend to kill people of the opposing faction/jump in pools of your own faction (If you're really THAT desperate)
5. Kill processes in your Operating System's task manager, after you HS you don't want to be beaten by someone while you're still on the loading screen of the inn ^___^
6. Keybind your fishing skill, so you can instantly recast after you've looted(SHIFT+click looting that is)
7. Bring a Skybreaker Whip/ Riding Crop or a personal Paladin escort:-) to speed up travel time in between pools

On a sidenote, I gave Yojomba Island a try but I went somewhere else quite fast as there isn't a pool up 100% of the time which makes it quite in-efficient.

Good luck and happy fishing!

Commento di Djuntas

Just wanna say its super lame to have some ganking-buddy whit you.

Today I was gonna win the contest, but a twink and his friend tough it was fun, to interrupt me. An pot and 3 mins later I had lost.

Just think about it.. fair competition for everyone.

Commento di 195921

Woot finally won the Fishing Extravaganza today after attempts since lvl 20 and I'm now 70!

If others are looking to win this event some tips to win are

-You should set your hearth to Booty Bay! saves alot of time walking back to the turn in.

-I've found that having another 70 follow you stops ganks, and if it's a paladin you get Crusade Aura buff which is awesome 20% faster mount. You'll blow away the competition.

-Start around the "Ruins of Aboraz" (http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=33:400586) it usually has at least 3-4 pools spawn there right away

-Use a Fishing Mod A MUST Helps cast faster (http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/1531/)

-Be sure to have At Least 225 fishing to get rid of the "Fish got away" Message

-Just a bit of luck and have FUN =D

Good luck all

Commento di 114441

I would recommend everyone try this at least once. You won't win unless you're incredibly lucky, you'll be competing with people who're insanely fast to the point I believe they have a map of Stranglethorn complete with school spawn points tattooed on the back of their hand but still you'll get addicted to tastyfish farming and there's always the chance of a rare fish.

Commento di Vashra

Bring elixirs of water walking so you don't have to deal with all the crazy terrain in stranglethorn at all.

Commento di Powerage

Tried this as a level 80 rogue and I never stood a chance. Those with mounted speed movement and water walking abilities will always win this. It never took me over 10 seconds to find another school of tasty fish and I still only had 20 when the winner was selected. Saw lots of players with paladins on /follow for mounted speed, this will be my last attempt at this quest.

Commento di 280976

won first time on the 14th my first try since the day it started

it was very simple gank everyone get everyone fighting and ya can win in 16 minutes
guild members helping you start fights helps
well thats what i did on eradar

you dont need potions lures nothing

just bring any rod 450 skill and 3 fully geared freinds

oh forgot i did use find fish skill

Commento di voporak500

What happens if to people get the 40 tastyfish at the same time and talk to the quest-giver? do they both win?

Commento di 63080

failed. I find it sad that todays winner had all of 3 fishing achievments done.

but what really gets me is that I had 33 tastyfish, and 10 worthless items

Commento di 315400

The char had 3 fishing achievements done, but the player could possibly have many achievements on other characters.

Commento di 242565

remember to set the fast quest reciving in your interface menu, or some one else with that thing could be "fast clicker" and will win the prize, its really annoying, i think...

Commento di 332243

If you choosed the fishing pole, can you then do it again next week? Me want both.

Commento di 177317

It's a good thing to know that if you're repairing your Booty Bay rep in order to do the competition, you need to be neutral with Booty Bay in order to talk to the innkeeper.

Commento di Felixia

They have a 4-hour duration from the time they are caught.

Commento di Felixia

This quest yields 1g90s per turn-in at level 80.

Commento di Nawkaga

The rejected original choice for the title of this quest was "Master Baiter."

Commento di 303838

Has anyone else noticed that since achievements, this tournament has gotten increasingly more violent and chaotic? I won the contest twice loooong before achievements even came out, but ever since they did, it's gotten worse and worse. A friend of mine is trying to win it as it is the last achievement he needs for his salty title. I thought it was bad pre-wotlk, these days it is not uncommon to have ENTIRE GUILDS run along the coast, slaughtering the opposing faction and greifing their own.

Achievements, are SERIOUS BUSINESS

PS: Stumbled across this, apparently achievements are such serious business, that people are willing to pay $40 to get them...

Commento di Sleutel

Who else thinks that these rewards need to be seriously buffed?

Fishing pole: More +Fishing than the epic Kalu'ak one (by 10), but doesn't have the underwater breathing.
Trinket: Slower swim speed than the Sea Turtle mount.

I got my trinket today, and it's just going to sit in my bank. :\

Commento di baddgirll

i feel kinda bad for all you people who have to compete on PVP servers...with stuff like this i am sooo glad im on a PVE server!

Commento di baddgirll

guy on my server finished in 23 minutes, i was only at 27 T_T

Commento di 189908

Just lost again on Laughing Skull, someone finished in 17 mins and there was a ton of people in STV, there was no prayer of me winning that thing.

Commento di 421062

If you win twice are you able to get both rewards?

Commento di gamerunknown

Increase weather effects, it'll help you see the pools.

Commento di 345042

If u do the quest once like to get the fishing pole can you do it again? to get the trinket?

Commento di 309039

This contest takes place from 2 to 4pm server time, so find out ahead what the offset is from your local time and your server.

Commento di Skovmand

Finally got this :) The competition has been lowered quite a bit after the kaluak tournament came out.

Commento di 579008

Before i talk about this tournament, let me share some info on what i did
There i was very bored with nothing to do , so i decide to take up fishing and cooking to level, not only for the neat stuff they offer but also for some achievement points ( i wasn't aiming for any titles initially)
and just like that i started to lvl them, as a lvl 80 human warrior
things were going pretty good, lvls were going up and before i knew it i was lvl 300 in fishing and bought the fishing pole from the kalu'ak
on that sunday i decided to give this tournament a try, since i've always heared so many things about it,
this was the first time i ever tried this, only info i had was what i read here and i'm sorry to say but it went like this:
got in booty bay with 2 minutes to go, found myself a school ( i did have the find fish ability)
and waited for it to be announced, i started north of BB, around the area where pretty boy duncan is, got a few but there were other people there so i decided to go on the southern beach, so i had enough time to ride to the southern beach and found many many schools all to myself, all i did was focus on getting the bobber into the school and before i knew it i had 40 of those tastyfish , one mystake i made was not having the HS set in BB but i had time to ride back to BB all the way from the southern beach and it seems i won by a long streak, others weren't even near enough to 40 fish
so here's some stuff that helped me a lot :
-i did this on the easter weekend, so the competition wasn't very high
-have enough fishing skill
- most of all, i play on a RP server so there wasn't any texas chainsaw massacre i hear that happens on pvp servers

A MUST is having a HS in BB
after this it took about 3-4 days to get all my other fishing achievements and get the Salty title, and now i got the trinket that transforms me into a fish and when i swim in the stormwind canals people go " wow wtf is that ? how can i get ?"

Commento di 596707

Just recently won the tournament with out any real strategy.
what I did was just equip my fishing hat add a lure and I ran along the left coast with water walking
and just kept fishing till I got 40 and hearthed back to booty bay.
here are some tips I picked up

dont fish from other people's pools (waste of your time)

prepare 5mins before it begins

also try to do it when there is an important event on (less competition)

Commento di Krixooks

Anyone have any ideas if this competition will be removed in cataclysm?

Have a look at STV in the Beta maps- check out WoWWiki's page here.
Stranglethorn is being split in two, I'm not sure they will configure the competition to span across two zones.
The Cape of Stranglethorn looks kind of smaller now.

Luckily for me I won it today after at least 7-8 weeks of attempts, Barthilas is very competitive and most of the time I've spent fighting Horde.
Bring some friends and good luck!

Commento di 757249

its not a hat

Commento di 767066

I won the Booty Bay contest after 4 tries yesterday, and in my frantic haste to turn it in, accidentally selected this as my reward (I'm a druid, I have no use for it). On a whim, I decided to try pleading with the GM gods. To my amazement, today I have mail from a GM, my hook is gone, and I'm now the proud (and lucky) owner of Canna da Pesca d'Arcanite! Thank you, nice GM's!

Commento di 548169

If you are having trouble with seeing the schools in this patch abandon' Bwemba' quest and relog, becouse you seem to be in another zone. I was flying over stv coasts 3 times and didn't see any schools. After abandon quests quess what - -' Of course you can complete them as well.

Commento di Hashupa

I am proof that this takes neither experience or skill, as I just won on my second attempt. (This isn't a brag, just some tips for beginners.)

Before I started my first try I scoured Wowhead for any information I could find.

Make sure you are familiar with pool spawning areas in Stranglethorn. You can see them here: Spigola Screziata. Make note of the dots and choose an area you want to fish. Something to note is that the contest has changed a bit. Tastyfish can now be fished from any pool, including the wreckage pools.

If you have a multi-button mouse, utilize it! Set your "Cast" ability to one button and any flying mount to another. This makes for seamless transition between pools once you memorize the buttons.

BE PREPARED! I can not stress this enough. Many people forget to set their hearth to Booty Bay and this can cost them the win. Show up at your preferred fishing spot about 10 minutes before the contest starts so you can prepare yourself mentally. Another good tactic to use is to set your loot to auto loot. Believe it or not, this will shave very valuable time off for you.

Don't freak out. You will inevitably become more and more nervous as you get closer and closer to 40 fish. Keep your hand steady and your mind sharp, once you hit 40 you will need to react very fast to hit your hearth button. And if someone wins before you, don't make a big deal out of it. There is always next week.

Also, here are some answers to questions I had to search around for myself that you might find useful.

The guy you turn this in to will be in front of the inn when the contest is about to start. Make sure you familiarize yourself with his location and be ready to bolt straight to him after you load in! Speed boosts are your friend here, there will undoubtedly be someone hot on your heels unless you got incredibly lucky with your catches.

First place winners can choose one of all available prizes. Second place gets a choice between Anello del Temibile Pirata, Stivali della Baia, or Lenza d'Eternio ad Alta Resistenza. Third place can only choose the fishing line. However, all three winners receive Maestro pescatore di Azeroth.

CRZ has changed this contest quite a bit, but you won't have to worry about that. People from other realms are competition in the sense that they will fish your pools empty, but winning the contest is on a per realm basis. For this purpose, connected realms are considered one realm, ie Dentarg/Whisperwind are one realm.

He will yell four times. Once when the contest has started and again each time someone wins. AGAIN, do not send nasty whispers to the winners. They are people just like you who are trying their best to win.

One problem you will definitely encounter is the bobber not landing directly in the pool. Do not freak out, when I won I had probably spent a solid two minutes merely trying to wrestle some stubborn pools. There is no way around this, but you should try to learn to be able to judge a good distance to be from a pool so that you can try to avoid this problem.

I hope this helps someone else out there! This is everything you need to know to win the contest. GOOD LUCK!

Commento di 82362

This is totally luck-based! While there are some overriding things to help you win, they're not guaranteed. I tried to do this for weeks on one character and never made it, then I try it for the second time on my current character and I got it.

If you start in an area that doesn't have many schools spawning, you're going to end up wasting time flying around to find some. When you cast, your bobber can go everywhere but where you want it to go even if you think you're standing in the perfect spot. When you do get it in the school you can fish up all sorts of junk you don't need, like other fish or stranglekelp.

I didn't have my hearth set to Booty Bay (just 310% speed flying from around Grom Gol) but I managed to get it. The whole process took me approximately 16 minutes to get all 40 fish, and there were around 7 other 85s of my faction fishing, plus numerous lowbies.

I do agree that you need to prepare yourself, and when you get the 40 fish try not to get too excited, since it can negatively impact your turn-in or spoil you getting to BB in time. My heart was beating out of my chest when I turned in and didn't realize I needed to choose a reward, I just kept clicking "complete quest" out of blind excitement.

Commento di Ronhan

Won this today, just few seconds before 2 other players, one of them (an alliance) made me a /spit, the other (a horde shaman) whispered me insults :( I don't get it. It's a competition, why be so rude?

Commento di Ethador

I had 38 Tasty fish when someone won, but I also had 9 oily blackmouths and 1 stangekelp(from the pools), so if I had gotten more lucky and had gotten Tasty instead of oily blackmouhts and strangekelp I would have won. The contest is based on some luck, so don`t think you`re going to win it the first the time you try.

Commento di 397298

Just won this on my first attempt.

Went to Northern Stranglethorn, starting from the Zuuldaia Ruins moving down the coast line, was somewhat deserted compared to the Cape of Stranglethorn based on what a guild friend was saying.

Hope this helps, even a little bit!

Good luck!

Commento di 656835

Some easy tricks to help: you can use the guild perk Have Group, Will Travel in combination with a guildie to get you an insta-port directly in front of the turn in guy. It doesn't even have technically have to be a guildie. As long as the other person has the perk, you can be summoned by anyone in your party. You can also use referafriend to do the same thing.

I also found it useful to have Gathermate2 addon, because it tells me where they spawn at, which helps to tell you where to look. You can also scout out the pools even after the derby is won, marking them for your next attempt or an alt's attempt.

I also mistakenly believed that you could only find the tastyfishy on the cape, but they are also along the western coast of Northern Stranglethorn Vale. I didn't check the eastern coast, so I don't know about that side.

Commento di deadlymuggz

Just won this finally for the first time.

I have noticed that not many people hang out in the northern area of east coast at all so I decided to mostly fish there and only spotted 2 other people. Might be different on other servers but I am on a high population one.

Commento di 204919

On the 18 September 2011, server Auchindoun, my shaman Oddaer and the priest Malacasta handed in the 40 fishes on the exactly same time and thereby both clamied the achivement Master Angler.

Commento di riffo

Wild shore was amazing. I was standing at the west end and startet fishing pools.
The was spwaning new pools close and i never had to fly to a new spot.

I even messed up real time cause i HS'ed at 30 fish (for some odd reason i thougth i was 30 fish.) i had to fly back at fish 10 more and then fly back and i won.
(2 sec after there came out 2 hordes whit nitro boots on, and got /w from a ally that he was only 5 sec behind me)

Try out wild shore next time. Just stand at the very end.(under the "W" on the map) there was 2 pools there that where respwaning all the time.

Commento di Jackalo

The southern tip of STV (Wild Shore) and halfway up the coast to the east were amazing fishing spots, even though I was sharing them with several other players. I managed to get all my fish by the 17 minute mark and got it turned in by the 18 minute mark. Next closest player was about a minute behind me. I timed it so my final fishing pool was right next to Booty Bay, that way I could fly back since it would be faster than hearthing.

Something I noticed while fishing these pools is that you have to get your bobber inside of the pool. If it's on the rim (outer 20%), you will not catch a tastyfish. After I realized that, I probably shaved a good three minutes of bad casts off of my time. If in doubt, just recast and get a better bobber location!

Also, to everyone who's going to be doing this for the first time, don't be nervous. I got it on my first try. Just make sure you know where the turnin guy is and have a plan down as to where you'll be fishing and how you're going to get back to Booty Bay.

Look here for where you can find the pools...

Commento di Games11

Do you have to have the quest to start getting the fish at 2 o clock? Or can u get the quest before hand and then go and wait til u can get started?

Commento di leo23

After so many months / years of constant farming this superb achievement , this awesome event , i finally got it today .

Got home about 10 min before the contest starts and i decided i will give yet another go . Just grabbed my fishing pole , turned on some ambient music (can't fish without music) :) , and to be honest wasn't beeing too optimist about wining or anything , but just had to check it .

So i went East of Yojamba Isle , and before i knew it i was getting closer and closer . My heart started going nuts about the fact that it's maybe the time for me to finnaly win it . And so it was . What were the odds ?

Keep on trying guys , you will eventually get it :) Good luck .

Commento di Marvelin

Today on Thrall 2 people won the contest. I, Senoryogi of the alliance won it, and also got the credit when they yelled I was the master angler. Yet, Mendie of the Horde, also got the achievement. I checked with him on the Horde side with my Horde toon and found out he also got the Master Angler reward. Anyone ever heard this? Can both the Horde and Alliance win?

Commento di Mischief004

First attempt at the tournament was a victory, only trying for Pescatore realizzato though. Really helps on a heavy pop sever to have help from the opposing faction. Also it seems the East side of The Cape of Stranglethorn is normally less populated then the West. Though it's only from one attempt so I can only say from that one experience.

Commento di 985920

Is this contest everyday between 2 and 4, or is it announced.

Commento di lugest

is this a daily quest? by repeatable im guessing it means its a daily.

Commento di 170213

Managed to win it today. I started from The sundering and moved between that point and the island west from Grom'gol Base camp. As the competition started 3 pools spawned right away around The Sundering. I collected 40 tastyfish and a Keefer's Angelfish in about 17 minutes.

375 fishing
I would suggest always use flying mount and leave pools with players alone and go to next one.

Good luck.

Commento di MonkeyDTsagi

This could have been so much easier if not for the opposing faction interfering with you.stuns,fears etc

Commento di Furydeath

The quest is SERVER SIDE only so even tho your fighting 10 other servers for fish you only really have to beat how ever many people are on your server doing it too.

Commento di 631545

I've thought about doing this one again now that there is flying in Eastern Kingdoms. I won this twice back during BC, and it was quite a challenge then. Went through a lot of water-walking potions! I have the Arcanite Fishing Pole and the Master Angler Trinket, but it would be nice to have the Boots of the Bay as well!

Commento di 1109244

First time doing it today. Had a hunter and death knight following me, and killing me for 5 minutes straight. Yet, I still managed to win it. I resurrected at the graveyard, and flew to the other side, and they left me alone. I also had Jeweled Fishing Pole, which awarded an extra 30 fishing. On top of that, I had some Shiny Baubles on hand. And on top of all that, I had 600 skill in fishing. So, I had 705 fishing skill through the whole thing. Lasted 'bout 40 minutes for me. Good luck, and fantastic fishing!

Commento di gugaimba

The quest only happens during the "Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza" event.
Every Sunday between 2PM and 4PM.

The quest npc(Riggle Bassbait) will reward the FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD winners.
BUT THE POOL PRIZES OF THE QUEST VARIES DEPENDING ON YOUR PLACE!
(example:only 1ST and 2ND can choose the BOA ring)

More things to know and set up to win the event:

-Get a "Lure Master Tackle Box" to have a lot of space to raise fishing skill.

-To accelerate the looting of fish, select auto loot and keybind the fishing skill and your mount.

-Go to a Fishing trainer and start doing the fishing quests(it helped me to get better fishing poles)
(if you don't know how to fish: seas and rivers usually have fish pools
that contain a type of fish.You have to train how to throw the hook of the fishing pole.
How?
Be in front of a fish pool, just about 10-15yards away and then click the fishing tooltip.
If the hook miss the fish pool, you just click fishing skill again till hit the pool.(you must hit close to the pool)
When the hook get something it will go down and up on your screen, then you right click the hook and loot the items.

-Get fishing skill "level" 100+

-Farm "Weather-Beaten Journal" to learn the ability "Find Fish" that
helps you to find the fish pools in the minimap.(Registro Rovinato dal Tempo)

-If you are in PVP world, you may call some friends to kill another faction players during the event.

-YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET THE QUEST BEFORE THE EVENT,
you can farm the fish during the event and just deliver then when you get 40 Speckled Tastyfish.

-During the event, the pools will drop the fish of the quest.

-Set the "Hearthstone" in Booty Bay innkeeper.

-Before the event start, find an emply place with fish pools somewhere
in the Strangethorn Vale coast.

-Once you have 40 Speckled Tastyfish, use the "Hearthstone" and run to "Riggle Bassbait" to finish the
quest and choose the reward quickly.

-I personnaly right click the npc(Riggle Bassbait) and used the macro to get the ring(just for 1st and 2nd places; ive got 2nd):
/run CompleteQuest()for i=1,2 do local n=GetQuestItemInfo("choice",i)if n=="Dread Pirate Ring"then GetQuestReward(i)end end
if you want another item, you just erase whats INSIDE the quotation marks and write the exacly item name.

-The Speckled Tastyfish will disappear after some real time hours,
so don't even try to stack it to another event.

I tried to make the best quest helper over here as I promised to do after winning the ring. :D
Special thanks to top comments like the ones that "cytexnl" and "Hashupa" wrote.
I want to apreciate all the previous comments that helped me.

GOOD LUCK!

Rather easy, got 2nd place (for BoA ring) on my first try.

If you get ganked in the Cape of Stranglethorn while doing the tournament, just spirit ress and go to the opposite side of the island (the other coast) and start fishing there.

As soon as the fish pool disappears, quickly mount your flying and get to the next one.

Find Fish is mandatory, makes hunting for pools much easier.

Logged in today to do this and when the event began I could only find one pool of Mixed Ocean appearing, which in turn disappeared as soon as I landed to fish it. Anyone know if there's been changes to this event recently?

Commento di Baldbastard

finally made it into the top 3 today, no pots ,lures or anything.
just luck, times before i caught quite some trash fish ,firefin and black mouth
now just the right ones.
when i left BB to find a spot along the coast (west).it was quite busy.
so i went to yoyo island. and went form north to south.
because most players start from bb and go up north.
nothing wrong with sharing a fish spot, but not on sunday's :)

good luck

I once got 40 Tastyfish before anybody else, but I forgot I was doing Insane in the Membrane and had all the Goblin reputations on hostile.

I still have trouble sleeping at night.

I managed to win this today, after not even trying for 5 years or so. A few things that made it possible:
1.) Do it with a druid (instant flying mount!) - the toon should be lv80+ for fastest possible flying speed, and needs fishing skill 100 to learn Registro Rovinato dal Tempo.
2.) Use Water Walking Potions (I bought them cheap off the auction house). So, you don't have to position yourself on the coastlines and have crocolisks run into you. Just drop out of flight form over the water near to a pool. It doesn't sound like it would make a lot of difference, but for me it did.
3.) Have fishing on a keybind you use regularly, for me it was Q, most people would go with just "1", i guess. Auto-loot on, of course.
4.) NEVER ever fish in other people's pools. It will lengthen flight time in relation to fishing time (because you will only be able to get 2 or so fishes out of the pool). You would put the other person on the pool at a disadvantage, but yourself as well - and all the other people fishing in their own pools might have that little advantage over you. If - and that happened to me a lot - someone else starts fishing in your pool, stay there until 4 fishes have been caught out of it. You will not want to lose the 5th fish to the other person and waste over 20 secs of fishing to nothing when the pool despawns.
5.) Set Hearthstone to Booty Bay of course and start scouting the tournament area at least 20 minutes before the tournament starts. The lake in Northern Stranglethorn has a LOT of pool spawnpoints, but they might be fished clean quick when there's a lot of competition. Still, they will respawn quickly when people fish all over Stranglethorn. I fished the lake and the river north and south of it and always found new pools quite quickly. But, as I said, scout beforehand. There might be better places with fewer people to fish them empty quickly.
6.) Be lucky for once (I certainly was, considering that quite a lot of people diminished my (and their) chances by fishing in my pools).

Finally, some crossrealm considerations. You will ONLY compete with people from your realm (which also includes merged realms, as in my case, Moonglade/The Sha'tar) for title and prizes. But being crossrealm-zoned, there will be a lot more people in Stranglethorn competing for pools. I did this on my relatively low-pop server with that druid because I did not want to fish with that much competition (flying over dozens of already taken pools is horrible!), but still, there were LOTS of people. For high-pop realms this must be even worse.
For that reason, if your druid (or other class, if you don't have a druid) is on a high-pop server, you should be able to increase your chances by getting invited on a low-pop server with fewer crossrealm connections (RP servers like Moonglade/The Sha'tar!). You will still compete with all the people from your own server, but they will fight each other for pools, while you will compete with fewer people from that server you transfered to which might give you an edge over the other guys from your server.
Same goes if you're on a PvP realm. You will not want to try winning the tournament while flagged for PvP (except maybe if your whole guild is protecting you). Let a friend invite you to a PvE, or even better, a RP-PvE-realm (often less crossrealm connections, and so less people in the area) - and if you don't know anyone who can invite you, use the group finder, there's always some group up to switch to a non-PvP-realm.

Hope any of this helps - I can only emphasize again how important it is not to fish in other people's pools - and how incredibly helpful it is to be a druid. And use the crossrealm thing, if you're on a high-pop realm!

Good luck to everyone out there still trying to win this. :)

You can win first and third in a single day.

I won first and kept fishing for the rare turn-in fishes. Second place was turned in. I caught 40 more tastyfish and had not caught any rare fish. I hearthed again, curious to see if I could turn in for third and I was able to and did turn in for third place, giving me the fishing line. For anyone that thinks I caught the rare fish for the line and that I am confused: I did not catch any rare fish, I caught 40 for first place, then caught 40 more tastyfish, I completed the third place turn-in quest and my name was announced as the third place winner. I won first place 15 min in and third place at 30 min in on the same day.

Want the Dread Pirate Ring? Stuck on the Stranglethorn fishing tournament for weeks and weeks? I got a quick guide for you. This isn't the usual guide that tells you to bind your hearthstone to Booty Bay or anything like that - you already know all that. No, this is about how to really win it if you want it badly enough.

Two weeks ago, I set out to win the Dread Pirate Ring, and today I won it (first place even!). Here's how: My main server is high pop. I quickly realized there was no way to win it there. The only way to win was to roll new toons on low pop realms, where competitors are less numerous. The fishing tournament is also a numbers game - why not go for as many chances as possible on a given week?

I chose the following servers to roll new toons:

Gallywix (Brazil)
Aman'Thul (Oceanic)
Garrosh (United States)

Notice a pattern? Each realm is the lowest pop PVE realm in a distinct timezone. This gave me 3 separate chances at the fishing tournament each weekend. I could have gone for Europe as well for a 4th chance, but that one is at 5am for me so forget it.

I rolled druids on each of the realms for the instant flight form. I only took each druid to level 60, which takes no time at all with heirlooms and spamming dungeons as tank. I transferred some cash over via battle pets, and each druid was equipped with 150% flying and Azeroth flying for cheap. You can take them to 70 as well for a significant boost in flying speed, but that 4k+ gold to get it was too steep for me. In my experience, you were good enough at 150% vs. 310% since your flying is instant. If competition isn't fierce and pools aren't too spaced out, your instant head start will match or beat the 310% guy (assuming he's not a druid).

So how did I fare on each server?

Aman'Thul (Oceanic) - Aussies are serious about fishing, no joke. I competed twice, each time there were roughly 50 people across both factions within my server gunning for the win. What was crazy was that Aman'Thul, the LOWEST populated realm, beat Saurfang (a realm with 2x-3x its population) by minutes. What can we deduce from this? Don't roll Aman'Thul - serious fishers are already doing what I'm telling you to do and it's not a pushover realm. Go Saurfang instead if you really want an Oceanic realm. If I had done so, I would have gotten the Dread Pirate Ring yesterday instead of today. Also, the lag is horrible and you will have trouble casting.

Garrosh (United States) - Same deal as Aman'Thul. It's no secret that Garrosh is the deadest PVE realm in the US, and that attracts all the fishers. The story was the same, serious fishers came out of the woodworks all thinking they were the smartest guys in the room (realm). Don't go for Garrosh, go for a slightly less dead realm that isn't well-known as a desiccated corpse.

Gallywix (Brazil) - This is where I won. I only had six other people competing against me, SIX! And I found one of them casually fishing at the Booty Bay docks next to Riggle when I won, who clearly didn't know what a tastyfish pool was. I had the entire Northern Stranglethorn river to myself. I had horrible luck fishing up raw sagefish and other junk, and I still won first place by 4 minutes. The only other person I saw while fishing was a level 100 with a badass mount, but he glided over the water slowly without landing as if RP'ing someone who didn't give a f*ck. This realm is the realm of golden opportunity. I won here on my first attempt, and I performed worse than I did on both Aman'Thul and Garrosh time-wise.

So in the end, what's my advice? Go roll on Brazil. They have very minimal CRZ, and there's almost never any hop groups at all that I can see. They are fully disconnected from all the other realms for all intents and purposes of this tournament, and it's quite possible that they all despise fishing. GO BRAZIL!
