This macro will let you spam one button to use all fish in your bags without searching and it is very quick. I saved each macro by zone.

Sea Scorpion Angler Enormous Sea Scorpion
Favorite Spot: Stormshield 54, 82. In town so you can use all of the local services and still see trade. Also no worries of being ganked or being attached.

You do not need to be max skill level in fishing to catch one of these. I caught one from a Sea Scorpion School off the southern coast of Nagrand with level 633 fishing.

Comment by frode73

A good spot to farm these is in Spires of Arak at these coordinates: 76, 50.

Start from here and fish from around the mushrooms in the water.

Comment by Frabba

The southern coast of Nagrand has schools of Sea Scorpions approximately every 10 feet, it's one of my personal favorite farming spots. Super useful early in the expansion as well since the material is used for bandages and health potions.

Comment by Jax4

The best place I've found to farm Sea Scorpion is in the Shattrath City Harbor in NW Talador. Pools are plentiful from the extreme west side of the harbor (Beacon of Sha'Tar around 34,16) all the way to the easternmost point of the harbor (Sha'tari Anchorage around 50,25).

There are literally dozens of pools that respawn quickly all along the docks. NPCs will leave you alone.

You can continue north from 50,25 up the Orunal Coast all the way to around 53,6; however, you have to deal with the boats coming in from the west. Pattern is repetitive and they'll put you in combat if too close; however, it's simple to learn the patterns. Simply stay north of Shattrath City if you'd prefer - plenty of pools there.

The harbor north of Shattrath City - 34,16 along the docks to 50,25
(starting in Beacon of Sha'Tar on the west side & Sha'tari Anchorage on the east side).

Does anyone else just want a plushie of this?

Fishing in open waters also works. Was catching alot Enormous Sea Scorpion while fishing in open waters near Shattrath while using .

Comment by Snivs

In northern Frostfire Ridge, the coast isn't necessarily "The Coast". You may encounter Sea Scorpion Schools, but when you fish in the open water next to it (even with sea scorpion bait), you will only run into Crescent Sabre Fish and Fire Ammonite. If you decide to fish in the northern Frostfire Ridge area, be sure the top of your minimap reads "Colossal Depths".

As horde and on a PvP server, I highly recommend the giant half-submerged mushroom, just off the coast north of the Bloodmaul Slag Mines flight path. Why? The chances of getting ganked here with a pole in hand is slim to none. Blast some music and sink into the grind.

Comment by necrodemus

In southern Nagrand there are two islands one is barren and the other has a memorial to Robin Williams on it, so I call it Mork Island.

If you want to fish these up in a hurry, fly into the zone, jump on your sea turtle and swim out to this island, tons of pools and i was catching them about 6 per 10 .

cheers

You will fish up "small" fish in Draenor while your fishing skill is low, but as you keep fishing and gain skill points you will find larger versions of this fish which require less catches to gut & clean. To catch "enormous" fish while your skill is low, try adding a good lure to your pole such as Worm Supreme.

The different versions of this fish are:

All 3 versions of this fish create Sea Scorpion Segment when used.

Edit: Grammar.

Fishing Macro, courtesy of my friend Hates:

/use Anglers Fishing Raft
/use Sea Scorpion Bait
/use fire Ammonite Bait
/use Jawless Skulker Bait
/use Blackwater Whiptail Bait
/use Abyssal Gulper Eel Bait
/use Blind Lake Sturgeon Bait
/use Fat Sleeper Bait
/cast Fishing

You can add your Nat Pagle hat if you have one. But "Fishing" has to be last in the list or your "cast" will be canceled out (interrupted).

I love this macro so much I had to share it. Even when you're fishing in non-Draenor zones (and don't need the special bait), this macro will keep you afloat, as it refreshes your raft on every cast.

Comment by cowzilla68

Using worm supreme and sea scorpion bait I was averaging 8 every 5 min.

Comment by Berl

Does a lunker version of this exist? It was listed on WoWhead but under the PTR category and was inconclusive.

Comment by ZiaGaming

As of 6.1, cleaning of fish has gotten a LOT simpler. It now takes 5 fish to clean, no matter what size they are, and they now give a set amount of mats. Current yield is as follows, per 5 fish.

Enormous: Yields 20
Normal: Yields 10
Small: Yields 5

Since the last patch in Feb, 2015, the sea scorpion pools around nagrand coast are not as numerous as previously when I fished here. I found very few pools and they were single poo;s without moving farther away where prior there were many in close proximity. Not any more, at least today.

Comment by luxnova

I highly, highly recommend Eventide Landing in northwestern Shadowmoon for these. Even without any pools, I had 58 in only 20 minutes of fishing with Sea Scorpion bait.

Comment by Crysia

I found the best place to be In Spires of Arak; ranging from 'Pinchwhistle Gearworks' and north up along the coast up till Shadowmoon Valley. Numerous Sea Scorpion Schools, ores and herbs along the way - A good place for farming these.

Comment by 79326

Spires of Arak - 75,50. There are a TON of pools non-stop with no interference.

Comment by thekaizi

tons of pools around the mushroom tops around 74.21, 54.61 area. On pvp servers this place is so nice, quiet and remote.

Comment by 1578487

I really had a lot of luck at The Writhing Mire, the achievement for fishing up 100 of these took me around 30-45 minutes with no bait. I just ran around fishing from the pools that respawned really quickly.. I suspect that they'll be nerfed soon.

Comment by 822354

Check the mushrooms tops, where are sticking out of the water there is a "Sea Scorpion School" for sure...

Comment by theeschaton

Since the Legion pre-patch, and the CRZ of Draenor, I've found the best place for schools of scorpions is in NE Spires of Arak, with a bunch of mushrooms sticking out of the water. The border to Shadowmoon Valley is really close, so when you run out of pools (5 or 6 spawn in the area), you can quickly zone into SMV, and zone back in, hopefully finding another instance of Spires.

I finished my achievement for 100 Enormous Sea Scorpions in about 30 minutes.

Comment by CosmicGhostRider

I found a spot at 25, 66 in Nagrand that has these mushrooms where the top is breached above the water. There are seven. Three are very close together (where the coords take you) with one to the North of it. Northwest of that spot there's three huge mushrooms where the tops are also breached. There were a surprising amount of nodes in this area. Hopefully anyone still getting these for the achievement finds this useful as well. Really good spot I think.

Comment by vortzarn

A great spot I found in 10.1 is just between Spires of Arak and Shadowmoon Valley around 71.94, 55.53. There are a bunch of large mushrooms and schools of Sea Scorpions pretty constantly spawn around it.

I was able to get all 100 within about 20 minutes.
