Only comes every sunday from 2pm to 4pm

First to catch 40 of these Tastyfish will win the first price

a fishing rod or a trinket.

I believe all you need is 130 fishing to throw a line in Stranglethorne Waters. There is no minimum skill level, or even character level.

Comentado por 30549

All of Stranglethorn Vale is at 130 Fishing. That is what is required to cast. At Skill Level 200 or so, you will be high enough to not have the "Your Fish Got Away" messages.

During the Tournament, a no catch is lost time and time your opponent has caught one. Time spent applying a lure is lost time also. To participate and have a higher chance of winning, I would recommend 235 or more Skill.

Is there Speckled TastyFish Pools or does it become a Trash fish?

Comentado por 66445

Um... am i the only one to notice that because you can only catch these in pools... the WoWHead map that pinpoints where the ALL the pools are? Uh... just to give a hint... Oh boy! i hope you dont use this map of all the pools to find a good place to fish! ; P

All you alliance scrubs on Burning Blade better back off, cause these fish are mine!

The tastyfish are in special pools, they can not be fished from outside the pools. Each pool has 5 drops, if your fish gets away you do not expend a drop. If you catch stranglekelp or a rockscale eel instead from the pool, you expend a drop.

Even after the contest is over (just watch the 4 hour duration on the fish) you can turn in these in batches of five to a NPC in Booty Bay. They yield 23s / batch giving them a "sell price" of 4s60c each.

Although the contest runs from 2:00-4:00pm, competition sharply drops after a winner is announced. If the goal for low-level toons is to get the Lucky Fishing Hat, cash from fishing or other prizes from rare fish, Consider starting around 2:30pm. It's a LOT easier.

All the competitors have gone home. No offended players will be dumping mobs onto your character. During the competition, a rogue with Vanish, or a Paladin with Divine Intervention can drop mobs on small fragile characters, at-will.

Why is there hostility vs. the level 19s?
To understand where this hostility comes from, watch the general channel, when the winner is announced. There are invariably several people who lament that they were within 1-2 fish. There is only one winner per week, claiming either the Hook of the Master Angler, or Arcanite Fishing Pole. Competition is intense.

It's acceptable to lose because someone else was better. However, people will feel cheated, when a little level 19 tag-along was underfoot, sneaking fish out from under them. Intensify this with the reigning opinion that level 19 battleground twinks are unethically exploiting the system. There's just as much satisfaction dropping a mob on a twink, as dropping one on a gold farmer.

Nice fishing spots for lowbies
When the contest is completed, the spawn points will largely be ignored by anyone else. The Troll island around (11, 29) has no hostile mobs. Its easily reachable from Westfall. The respawn rate is fairly quick.

Fly or swim down to Booty Bay. Set your hearthstone. Fly back to Westfall. Swim down the coast to the Troll island. Stay clear of the elite shark that roams around the deep water, surrounding the island.

Consider using Bright Baubles. They're low-cost, and will boost fishing skill by +75.

Fish Counter
Put the following simple macro on your toolbar. It'll display a counter, after the first one appears in your bag.
#showtooltip Speckled Tastyfish

Speedy turn-ins
Hotkey the following macro. Right-click on Jang <Fishmaster Apprentice>. Tap the macro button three times. Repeat until your fish are gone.

As of 2.3, you now get 1g (or 1g 12s @ lvl 70) for turning in 5 of these once the contest is over.

By the way: Schools of Tastyfish will unfortunately NOT appear on your minimap as yellow dots if you have the Find Fish skill like all other schools of fish. Thus you have to rely on spotting the fish in the water itself.

This item is part of the Stranglethorn Vale Fishing Competition. Which takes place every Sunday between 14:00 and 16:00 Server time.

These are the items that can be won if you are the first person to hand in 40 Speckled Tastyfish to Riggle Bassbait in Bootybay.
Arcanite Fishing Pole and Hook of the Master Angler.

Once someone has won the fishing competition, you can still hand in your remaining Speckled Tastyfish to Jang in Bootybay. (repeatable quest)

Here is a link to all the rare fish that can be caught during the Stranglethorn Vale Fishing Competition and their drop chance (with thanks to Zubzubs's post on the Lucky Fishing Hat), plus the rewards you get when catching one and handing them in at the Fishbot 5000 in Bootybay

0.25% Keefer's Angelfish --> Lucky Fishing Hat
0.23% Brownell's Blue Striped Racer --> Nat Pagle's Extreme Anglin' Boots
0.18% Dezian Queenfish --> High Test Eternium Fishing Line

not sure about drop chance, 0% according to Thottbot. Rockhide Strongfish --> Dual wielding Fish Power!!

I just entered this contest for the 1st time ever, as in i've never tried to compete before. I had 225 fishing skill, and i won on that first go :P So just goes to show a little luck and preparation beforehand and anyone can win this. I choose to start on the coast directly south of grom'gol, and i had loads of pools spawn around me within a 50yrd radius i'd say. Within the first 10 minutes i had about 28 tastyfish. Also the Find Fish tool really helps for planning your next move if u can see a pool is just around the corner from u on the minimap.

Comentado por 232212

As with other non-edible fish, these do NOT count towards the achievements to catch X number of fish.

Comentado por 166285

Are there any "waters" in STV where the Tastyfish do not spawn? Thinking about trying to find some out-of-the-way place, but don't want to hose myself if they're only along one particluar coastline, etc.

Comentado por Gvaz

Keep in mind if you're not 70-80 you will get ganked. Get someone high level to protect you and/or revive you if you die.

It's really annoying to keep dying when some stupid alliance ganks you :(

Actually these DO count towards the x number of fish achievements, at least as of the latest patch.

Comentado por 131361

does the timer on the fish freeze when you log out?

Comentado por 152074

On high pop servers, this event can be very competitive. Players sometimes team up together so that one would fish, others would pvp, and others would jump in front of other people's bobbers so they can't catch anything.

If you're thinking about doing this, you might want to ask a friend or two to come along, at least to help scout for fishing nodes or protect you if you're on a pvp server.

Comentado por 346889

One thing I would suggest: Set a hotkey to your 'fishing skill' (cast). That way you can keep one hand on your mouse, keeping your pointer close to the fishing bobber, and use the other hand on the keyboard to cast repeatedly, without having to move the pointer away from your bobber, onto your hotkey bar.

It may only save a little time, but in the competition every second counts, and when you have to cast repeatedly to get it in the middle of the pool (my Sibi's aim seems to suck bigtime at times) it can definately save you precious moments.

Comentado por 381307

Just in case anybody here is wondering, you CAN still attempt to win this tournament while hated with Booty Bay. The three NPCs that grab your turn-ins are all still friendly to my character.

Comentado por Thyestdoa

Just lost today, had 2 people following me and jumping in my pool, also they were challenging me to duels while I'm fishing.

O and got spammed by them too.

Really really $%^&ed off.

Comentado por 442911

First time ever I did this I started out with 450 fishing skill, had the whole "weather beaten hat" but didn't use it here, and the only 2 helpful things were Water Walking pots and fish finding. On my server me and a friend went up to the area of the zandalari tribe and went from that island, down and up the coast, the island south of the zandalari tribe, and back to the starting island. I may have gotten lucky with people not being where I was, nor my friend was, but pools spawned right along the path of interest and I beat my friend by 10 fish within 15 minutes and got the deal which turns you into a fish (fun if you have the titanium flipping coin and some neat looking weapons ;D )

PS. I used Nat's Lucky Fishing Pole (25+ fishing), no lures.

I just won today. The things I planned before I went was to have a friend with a two person mount and water walking sit besides me and get ready for me to hop on and speed to the next fishing pool. It would be more helpful if you had a paladin with crusader aura up. This cut out mounting cast time. I also had a rogue scout ahead and mark out the pools I would be using next and eliminate any alliance. I fished from the pools just North of Grom'Gol base camp. Most of the people will sit close to mid range of booty bay on my server Stormscale <PvP>. We only ran into two alliance and zero horde. And luck is a huge part of winning. I fished up on average 2 trash drops v. tasty fish a pool. Pray to the wow gods for your bobber to land mid circle and the right catch. Good luck to you!

Comentado por 331885

Ok I have tried for two Sundays to do this darn thing and I cannot find any pools of these fish anywhere and I've ran up and down the coasts. Is there something that I am missing here? I am a grand master fisherman so i am not sure what the problem is.

Comentado por Bostin

So my Boyfriend won the Northrend fishing contest on Saturday and I sat here seething with anger... If he had the title "Salty" then I had to have it too so I thought I would give the Booty Bay fishing contest a go the following day.

My lovely fella was "requested" to sit beside me as I fished in his multi passenger mammoth so I could hop in as soon as my pool had dissapeared and he could swiflty escort me to the next pool with a handy water walking pot.... and lo and behold... I WON!

First ever go at it and im damn chuffed... I am so damn chuffed I have spent many hours swimming around in the Dalaran fountain with my fish trinket equipped lol.

I simply fished pools around the Yojamba Isle, North West of STV, loads of pools and a very fast respawn on them, also no competition whatsoever. I did pop to Booty Bay though the night before and set my HS there which was lucky as I had a Sunday morning lie in and never woke up until 12:50 pm lol.

Good Luck with this one and I hope you have as much fun with the trinket as I have done lol.

I just competed in my first tournament, and I have to say ... what a horribly buggy mess. Pools changed names while you fished them and names even changed when you changed your angle (no pun intended) of view!

I also found pools inside land, before the tournament, but they were not fishable.

Something must have gone a bit haywire in one of the recent updates.

Comentado por 307435

Note that the damn map is displaced by a fair bit. It cost me the victory today because I started way off. In the end I was 5 fishes behind the winner :<

Comentado por SpareSimian

I just caught some of these late Sunday from a school that was under a regular debris school. The NPC is gone for the day so I can't turn them in. Looks like a bug in clearing out the schools when the tournament ends.

Comentado por 706709

I just caught 4 of these in some wreckage, Mon 12/13/10 @ 4:22 AM ST

Is this a bug or has something changed in the competition?

Comentado por Rossmallo

For some insane reason, there are still pools of these dotted around on a Monday. They work.

If only they didnt have a duration.

Comentado por KiLlErGuY

Apparently the pools will all be phased out from you if you have not quested in the zone, 2 weeks in a row I've flown up and down the coast during the tourney and seen 0 pools.

Comentado por Kiliana

Same thing happening to me right now. I can see the schools on the border of the Cape and Northern but as soon as I cross over they disappear.

Comentado por CataBreed

I like a challenge but this is far beyond, twice i have gotten to 21 fish and the other person has 40. Unreal luck. Sure glad it's nothing really worth crying over lol. 525 fishing already...i'll go back to farming rares now that they are easy to find, thanks again blizz for that nerf!

Comentado por 936694

Ok, can someone explain to me how is this possible: I just played the tournament, and this guy won by catching all 40 fish...in 19 MINUTES! HOW? It took me 1 hour and 40 minutes to catch my 40! Was he using some super powerful fishing pole that I don't know about!

Comentado por 947534

I need a moment of catharsis here. I got 39 tasty fish, then a couple firefin snappers and a stranglekelp (if I ever meet a RNG in a dark alley...). Got my 40th tastyfish and then some other dude won while I was hearthing. I think I may have said a few "salty" words before I got control of my mouth. The winner gave me a free portal back to Stormwind, showing that he's a good winner though.

Soon...

Can you save the fish from consecutive sundays and turn them in later on?

Comentado por Allakhazam

If you are the first to catch 40 of these and turn them in before anybody else during the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza event you can get a Fishing Pole or Trinket which turns you into a fish.

Check the Calendar - Those Sundays marked for Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza... go to Booty Bay in Stranglethorn Vale (southern tip) look for Regal Bassbait <Fishmaster> or Fishbot 5000 on the pier (cords: 27.4 - 76.84) Between the hours of 2pm to 4pm "SERVER TIME" on the same Sunday... Between the same time frame - travel along the coasts of Stranglethorn Vale looking for fishing pockets and collect the quest items - return to Regal Bassbait <Fishmaster> or Fishbot 5000 with your quest items...

Just won the tournament in phase 2 of TBC Classic. I stayed on the west coast starting at the bridge past the small bloodsail camp and went back and forth from there to the end of the coast where all the naga roam to catch all my tastyfish. The pools started spawning at 1:58, 2 minutes before Riggle Bassbait yelled that the tournament had begun. I had 40 fish by 2:11, hearthed, used a swiftness pot and turned in for the Arcanite Fishing Rod.

Currently however Riggle himself is bugged and will spawn a copy of himself on top of himself every 15 minutes or so, allowing multiple winners per contest.

Comentado por Kwahu

Blizzard really needs to make the Fishing Extravaganza a phased thing like how the WoD Garrison worked so people don't have to waste years and years losing to some %^&*!@# who cheats, winning in less than 10min, and it always being the same person, despite him having won more than twice. But as it stands, it's painfully clear that Blizzard will never make anything fun and fair, so $%^&*!@s like that will have free reign to be %^&*!@#s as much as they like, simply to make sure no one can get the title, fishing pole and trinket.
