A very easy quest. Gubber Blump will even lend you a fishing pole for the task. You can start fishing directly next to Bubber Blump. The quest can easily be completed with a very low fishing skill.

There are a few fish that you can pull in. Oily Blackmouth can normally be sold in the auction house for quite a few silver each.

The quest should take less than fifteen minutes and will also raise you fishing skill while your doing it.

Kommentar von Nautica

Just ask Gubber Blump, from there u can learn the Fishing skill ^^

Kommentar von 62586

YA RIGHT!

ITS SO HARD!
EVERY TIME I HAVE IT HOOKED, I RIGHT CLICK IT AND IT GETS AWAY!

GAH! its annoying me so much

Kommentar von 70388

The first 3 tries i caught a groupers but after that i needed half an hour for the other 3

Kommentar von 22578

It took me about 10 minutes to fish them all. I used Shiny Baubles, and the session droprate was 28.6%. Nice quest finally i got 22 fishing skill points..

Kommentar von 85548

For those who dont know how to fish.

Talk to gubber Blump and have him teach you. Then go into your skills and hotkey the fishing skill. You can also purchase a pole from gubber. Just click the hotkeyed skill and fish away. When the bobber splashes right click on it.

Kommentar von 87812

You could also buy the Darkshore groupers in the Auction House, if you want (not sure why'd you do it though, since you could raise your fishing skill here).

An interesting note is that after you complete this quest, you get a mail from Gubber Blump, thanking you once more and giving you a Shiny Bauble as an extra reward (https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/item=6529).

Kommentar von Zaketor

Very easy quest to do, if you are patient. I caught 5 fish in 5 shots... but that last one =S
If you want to do it, buy a rod from him an start fishing right next to him.. simple.. but time comsuming

Kommentar von ilovemrdoe

The name is probably a reference to a Peter Gabriel song called the family and the fishing net

Kommentar von 20417

Although the Quest-giver mentions that the murlocks have probably been eating the Grouper, they will not drop it. They must be fished with the Fishing Skill.

Kommentar von Keepertje8

I found this quest quite hard, with 1 fishing skill unbuffed (26 with buff), I got a miss rate of 75%.. very annoying

Kommentar von 153274

I did this quest days ago (maybe over a week? *shrug*), so was quite surprised when I got mail from Gubber! Thought it was quite a funny/nice little touch.

Kommentar von Falcon63

It is actually a reference to Bubba Gump. The fish company Lt. Dan and Forest Gump start up in the movie Forest Gump.

Kommentar von 178841

There are 4 possible fish you can get during this quest:

.Oily Blackmouth, which can be used by alchemists and sold at the AH
.Raw Rainbow Fin Albacore, which can be used for cooking
.Raw Slitherskin Mackerel, which can be used for cooking
.Darkshore Grouper, which is mainly used for this quest :)

Just fish anywhere along the coastline. You can even fish by Gubber Bump (quest giver) or further down by the murlocs.

Gubber also sells fishing poles and Shiny Baubles. It's quite easy

Kommentar von 149600

My result at the end: 6x Darkshore Grouper, 6x Raw Rainbow Fin Albacore, 6x Raw Slitherskin Mackerel and 18+ Fishing Skill :D

Kommentar von McPoowl

Did this today with my new toon.
Result: ( did 10 minutes, because otherwise i wasted my lure ;) )

8x Darkshore Grouper
10x Rainbow Fin Albacore
3x Oily Blackmouth
5x Slitherskin Makerel
1x Message in a bottle, which contained a Enchanting recipe for spirit +1

Wouldn't bother this quest if you don't plan on leveling Fishing, but my cat looooves fish, so i thought, why not level it.

Kommentar von 218400

how do i get a fishing pole for it cuz he doesnt give u one?

Kommentar von 331364

As has already been said, this is a really easy quest. In about 5 minutes I caught the 6 Groupers AND 3 of the Gaffer Jacks. Fishing Buddy has a 37.5% catch rate for the Groupers, but, that can't be taken as gospel due to sample size.

Does it make any sense to go back and do at a high level? Not unless you're after rep or the LM achievements. The pole reward is dwarfed by the OL quest pole or the LK rep pole.

Kommentar von 269960

This quest is such a ^&*!@, i got my fishing from 1-16 doing this but it took me forever. I hardly caught ne thing ever. But if u dont have alot of time i dont recommend this quest.

Kommentar von 338308

so where about is the groupers spot you know, where they "group"? Pretty confusing if you ask me =(. Can you fish of the boardwalk? Or near Gubber Blump? Or at one of the stops where the boats are? But i know one thing, the fish can be sold at the Auction house in darkshore, but no pint wasting your money, you might as well fish for them...the longer it takes, the less time you need to learn...

Kommentar von 321502

I'm currently doing the quest, and my drop rate is about 5%.
Not very fun, but eh, free fishing training, skill, and pole.

Edit: Done with the quest now, 67 fishing skill. (earned the achievement along the way)

Kommentar von Discombobulator

"The Family and the Fishing Pole" is a reference to a song from Peter Gabriel's 1982 studio album (Security or Peter Gabriel outside the US) entitled "The Family and the Fishing Net."

Kommentar von 30628

Or its just a reference to Bubba Gump and his fishing company from the movie forrest gump as stated earlier

Kommentar von Tisina

Dont forget. This will also lead to the following quest;

Do this quest with https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/quest=1579
I got to 72 fishing with this quest and the Gaffer Jack quest.

Kommentar von 479739

Started fishing them at 40 skill.

Kommentar von 562956

For the not so wealthy people with us, all the junk you catch at first gives you quite a good bit of money! I got 15 silver (without the quest reward) from it. earns me another 4/5 spell upgrades.

Kommentar von 613084

From a fishing skill of 1-50, I only fished up one grouper. Finally, I went to go do some other quests. When I came back, I picked up Gaffer Jacks quest and started fishing again. I got all 6 groupers and 8 jacks in a matter of 12 minutes. I have a fishing skill of 70 from those two quests alone! (:

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just Fish beside the quest giver, and the grouper will turn up.

Kommentar von Thottbot

this quest took me exactly 11 mins, starting with a fishing skill of 0. make sure you use some lure

Kommentar von Thottbot

yes u need to be a fisher ...then just fish near the quest giver ......and people just damn read what people are writing that would much easyer

Kommentar von Thottbot

Im elf, level 14

#1 36.44 the npc give you THE QUEST, the fishing skill and he sell to you the "fishing pole" and "ShinyBauble".

#2 GO in the water at 36.44 with the two leg in the water, and cast in the direction of the bridge..

#3 twenty minute left.. for get your 6 quest fishing.

#4 and he give to me 975xp!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Easy quest,

I love fishing anyway and already had some fish before taking the quest, caught a few of the pier and the rest beside the fisherman.

There was another player there aswell who offered to sell me the fish, so you may get lucky if you don't have/want the fishing skill.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Why was this harder for me to figure out than some other skills? Just an idiot, I guess.

Anyway, if you do the quest, Gubber will lend you a pole. If not, you need to buy one (fishing trainer and supplies in Darnassus and Lakeshire), the bait (shiny bauble to start) and get trained.

Find a body of water, equip the pole (replace your main hand weapon with the pole), "bait" the pole (with the bauble or better bait), then (I didn't realize this was necessary) find the Fishing icon in your spellbook and drag it to an icon bar. Click on the fishing icon and you will cast. You'll see the green fishing "progress" bar on your screen. You need to recast when the progress bar disappears. Just keep recasting until you get the fish you want.

When the bobber moves and you put the cursor over it, you get a gear icon. Right-click the gear icon and you will get a fish, something else or the message that "your fish got away" (same thing as an empty loot box). I left the cursor on the icon most of the time but you don't need to do that.

I did the Bubber Glump quest and got to lvl 14 in about 18 minutes, with the 6 required fish and about 8 others. XP was only 100 but after all, my 54 Druid was late to the game.

Why start now? Look up Deviate Fish and you'll understand. I stole the recipe from the Gadget AH. Why not? Everyone should be a fisherman.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Fished off the end of the pier and got all 6 within 6 minutes, easy as pie :D

Kommentar von Thottbot

WARNING:

If you've just done this quest, you cannot do a character migration for that character. Their mailbox will appear empty but because of the way mail works (mailbox contents include items that haven't arrived yet) your mailbox will not be 'empty' and char migration will fail.

I just got snared by this, nasty :(

Kommentar von Thottbot

It took me an entire 4 minutes to catch 5 groups, 1 rainbow fin albacore, then a final grouper.

I had 21 fishing skill to start, bought some bait so I had 46 to start off with. I took the advice of a poster some posts up by stepping right in front of Blumper in the water and started fishing.

Hope this helps anyone, it was either Grouper Time of the day 5am EST! Or somethin.. But a whole 4 minutes for a pole and exp.

Don't under estimate fishing, once you get high enough and find some floating wreckage and some nice schools of fish, you can make some good money.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I don't guess anyone else got that the quest title is a play on the title of a Peter Gabriel song?

/nvm

Kommentar von Thottbot

13/1/07. I'm a lvl 13 NE Hunter. I went to the spot near the quest giver but didn't know what to do. I didn't have a fishing rod so wasn't sure. Came on here and read that you need to have the fishing profession which I didn't have and a fishing rod. It also said to go to Darnassus if you don't have either and get them. I went to Darnassus, went to bank and asked Sentinel where to go, went there, got profession than bought rod. Went back to spot but didn't know how to fish, someone told me.

I spent probly 20-30 minutes on it. Got 5 of them, than caught 4 other fish and lost a tonne. Finally was about to give up so took one more shot and got it. :D

14/1/07. I recieved the letter and ball in the mail this morning.

Kommentar von Thottbot

If anyone was wondering, this quest name is a reference to a fairly obscure Peter Gabriel song called "The Family and the Fishing Net" from his Security album (the one with "Shock The Monkey").

Kommentar von Thottbot

i cant ever get one, ive tried and tried and tried!

Kommentar von Thottbot

easiest quest ever created in warcraft

Kommentar von Thottbot

I've been fishing for an hour right by the quest giver, with a rod I got from him, and a shiny bauble thing. Not one fish. Seriously, what am I doing wrong?

Kommentar von Thottbot

hi. can some one plz tell me what the hell is fishing (50) and where we get it. im trying to learn how to fish in darnassus with that gir asnia or somthing like that but i cant click on (learn). so plz anwser me bye

Kommentar von Thottbot

its ok lol... :D

Kommentar von Thottbot

Its pretty easy all you have to do is go to gubber blump and accept the quest,and if you dont know how to fish talk to him again and explain that you dont know how to fish and he gives you free fishing lessons. speak to him again tell him you dont have a fishing pole and he will sell you one around 15 copper.If you just learned how to fish then you might also want to buy a shiny bauble so you can catch the fish faster and easier.when you have 6 darkshore grouper go back to gubber blump and give in the quest and you will get the blump family fishing pole as a reward.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I have gotten the fishing pole and lure. Every time i click on the fishing pole I get I don't have a target. This happens if I am standing beside the fish or away from them. Has anyone had this problem, can you help me?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Can u fish for the fish after the quests done?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I WANT 10 MINUTES OF MY LIFE BACK

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just finished this quest, literally took about 8 minutes.

Also caught a few Oily Blackmouth & a couple of other fish that you use for cooking skills, so I'll sell those on.

I simply stood next to the quest giver & cast. It didn't seem to matter how close to the shore my lure was, so those theories above are just poppy cock imo ;)

Kommentar von Thottbot

so i've caught 50 fish, only two groupers so far. &*!@ this quest

EDIT: i got my fish skill up to 75 before i got all 6, if you get the opportunity to do this quest...don't. Hitting yourself in the balls repeatedly would be less frustrating.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Where is it? I've searched south of Auberdine in the sea. But I can't find the fish he asked for. Am I on the wrong track here? Bernt E

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Does this quest needs fishing skill? I don't have and didn't see any fish there

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Ok Took Me About 4 Minutes To Complete This Quest, However It Took A Further 2 Minutes Trying To Figure Out Where I Get The POle From Plus Were To Start Fishing.

Use Faandrel's 36,49, For those of you who dont know how to do this download cosmos then when in game type /tloc 36,49. Her eyou now have a brownish circle on your big map (Press M) move to that location when you have the pole and stuff then go to your skills drag fishing apprentice to a action bar and then when standing at those co-ordinates right click and wait till the bobby jumps slightly then right click on it.

Good Look

Email me if you have any further issues with this quest.

webmaster@cutix4u.com

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I did this quest without the bait but my fishing was 97 at the time. Caught all the fish while standing mere "feet" from where the quest originates. The new pole is awesome and if you are patient and fish in different spots you can get some rares.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I've been fishing for 30 min and caught only 4 fish, none are the grouper! Most of the fish run away after I click the bobber when it jumps. Is there a trick to this? Or would a better pole fix this problem?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Two days after doing this quest I received mail from Mr. Blump. He thanked me for helping with the quest, and sent along a fishing bauble with the letter.

I thought that was a very nice touch. :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I am so frustrated! I have never fished before but not only can I not catch the quest fish I can NOT catch any fish. Please help what am I doing wrong?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Hello!You can buy a Strong Fishing Pole at the fish vendor!it gives you +5 fishing

Kommentar von Allakhazam

In addition to the pole, I received an in-game email from Gubber with a thank you note and a Shiny Bauble about 24hrs after I completed the quest.

That was nice of him, don't cha' think?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

If your fish are getting away use the bait and target your rod. The Oily Blackmouth are lucritive on the Auction House in darnassus.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This quest is simple yet if you are new it could be a little confusing.
Just talk to Gubber Blump again and he will give you the fishing skill. Talk to him again and you can buy a fishing pole and bait. Although I caught all my fish without the bait so it's really up to you and I was at 0 fishing level when I started. I suppose you could really try anywhere to catch the fish but I caught all mine in Twighlight Shore. Just keep walking past the sea creature until you see this big pile of rocks on the shoreline and go a little bit to the left of those and that's where I caught all mine.

To be able to cast, you need to look in your spellbook and then set the fishing icon to your screen. Then when you want to fish, just click on that button and wait for the bobber to go under water. For me, that was the only aggravating part because my fish kept getting away. Once you keep trying, you may get a few different types of fish and eventually you'll get your grouper.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

After raising your skill in fishing to 50, this quest pays off. You fish near the docks in Auberdine, and potentially acquire a variety of fish, to include, Blackmouth Oil which in turn helps an alchemist create the Elixir of Underwater Breathing, which you'll find very helpful for the quests The Cursed Crew, Lifting the Curse, Deep Ocean, Vast Sea (in Auberdine- or Darkshore), and many others . At any rate, at the end, you get a Blump Fishing Pole which is certainly better than the starter one.

you really want to move south a bit, just until you cross over the "line" into the next territory and see the beached thing in the distance. It's not far at all, maybe 100 yards.

I had a fishing skill of 55 and standing near Gubber I didn't catch a single grouper.

After moving south within visual distance of the beached thing, I caught the 6 grouper in no time.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

You can fish darkshore Groupers in cordinates 36,49,
south of auderbine between catapult and sea-monster.
I gotted lvl 1 fishing when i maked this quest (used shiny bauble) and it taked about 10 min.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Shouldn't matter where you fish in that area, I just used the pole I bought from the NPC, and the +25 fishing item. Got all in 10 minutes, a friend took 20 minutes but he wasn't lucky I guess lol. Did the quest before too, also 5-10 minutes.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I did this quest when I first arrived in Auberdine as a level 18 or so. I've repeated it with several of my characters, because it's pretty nifty-- the pole is a good reward, the additional fish help your Cooking, and the Ironforge rep isn't something to sneeze at.

However, don't worry about where you're standing. I have caught Darkshore Groupers right next to Gubber, under the docks, and on the pier. I daresay that anywhere in Darkshore you might find a Darkshore Grouper. ANd what's nifty is that they aren't quest-locked: You can catch them without being on the quest. So, if you happen to fish in Auberdine for some other reason, go ahead and mail your other characters the fish 6 at a time.

There's another quest, the Gaffer Jacks given by Wizbang Cranktoggle who is upstairs at the Inn, which also requires fishing. The Gaffer Jacks are much less common than the Groupers, and ARE soulbound/questlocked, so if you're doing one you may as well do the other. This is a level 12 quest so you can log it early on. I had some luck fishing them from the pier.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The name Gubber Blump sounds a lot like Bubba Gump - the guy from the movie Forest Gump. He was a shrimper and knew everything there was to know about shrimp.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

where can i find bait?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Now, I have heard that with a high enough fishing, you could catch Lockboxes, rings, etc. Is this true? If it is, how are the odds? Just like grinding? Same thing? What goes with fishing, if this is a good thing to do? Thanks guys and I will continue to help you all with Locations

Edited, Fri Apr 15 10:09:50 2005

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I'm using the Strong Fishing Pole (+5 fishing) but it's taking ages to get them! I'm getting every other fish but Darkshore Groupers, annoying.
Very annoying seeing as i'm right by the Darkshore Grouper School! Does it help if you're not standing by the fisherman who gives you the quest? (Gubber Blump)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Completed in less then 5 min, at 36.47--fish lvl 51 + NPC pole with nightcrawlers

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I happened to be leveling up my fishing skill so I already had the grouper when I came across Gubber. So when I accepted the quest I immediately completed it and received the pole, then a day or so later I received a letter from him thanking me with an Aquadynamic Fish Attractor. It was quite nice and unexpected.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

You will defintely want this Fishing Pole. It works so much better than the generic one you buy from the fish vendor. And you can simply fish right off the beach where the quest Originates.

Takes about 10-20 mins to do, but worh it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Hmm... where do we get the fishing skills....?
i dont know where the dude that gives the skill is... so i cant do the quest... :(
so if anyone is kind enough to tell me where that dude is.. i'd like it!
lol, thx alot
Crzykid.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I found I got groupers quicker if I fished off the boat landing, near the quest site. I got a few oily blackmouths into the bargain too.

and no one else seems to have noted the gubber blump - Bubba Gump reference? ;)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I had some problems actually catching Groupers 'cause the only thing I seemed to be getting was Siltherskins on the end of my line. After I attached a Shiny Bauble (Bought very cheaply from Gubber) my luck changed and I caught them within 10 minutes along with Oily Blackmouths.

If you're having trouble I suggest attaching something like I did, it can save a lot of pain, time, irritation and sore eyes.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Sorry, I accidently double posted

Edited, Oct 13th 2006 at 2:26am PDT by kmm

Kommentar von Allakhazam

just in front of him there is like green waters. i fished there and i caught the grouppers in like ten minutes along with 5 oily blackmouths. I was lucky i think man.

Kommentar von gamedisciple

Don't forget to pick up Klemmmuffen and save yourself some time! (quest-giver is upstairs at the Auberdine inn).

Also, extra Dunkelküstenbarsch can be sent to alts or auctioned for easy completion of Die Familie und die Angelrute.

Happy fishing!

Kommentar von SpareSimian

The Fishing Buddy addon is great for this, but it's not yet ported to classic. Until then, consider using the Easy Fishing Classic addon. It doesn't do the fish counting but it lets you cast with a double-right-click.

Beschreibung

Ich liebe das Angeln. Die Familie Blump ist berühmt fürs Angeln. Mein Name ist Gubber Blump; ich angle.

Es gibt eine Fischart, die ich hier in der Gegend gern fange. Sie heißt Dunkelküstenbarsch. Früher fuhr ich mit einem Boot hinaus, um Barsche zu angeln, aber seitdem die gemeinen Murlocs gekommen sind, fahren keine Boote mehr raus. Ich wette, dass sie auch alle Barsche aufgefressen haben.

Sagt, wollt Ihr mir helfen, Dunkelküstenbarsche zu fangen? Ich würde Euch eine echte Angelrute der Familie Blump geben, wenn Ihr es tun würdet! Es ist eine wirklich gute Angelrute, um damit Fische zu fangen.
