will someone plz tell me places to fish at wut skills of fishing im at 70 right now :\ plz help
Anywhere. Fishing goes up by number of catches, not what fish. Elwynn forest will work fine. If you want to catch something you can actually sell, try the coast of Westfall; Oily Blackmouths can be caught, and around your level should be all right.

I find that the best place to find both oily blackmouth and firefin snapper is in menethil harbor in the wetlands. As far as the best selling fish, on my server (Greymane), its deviate fish all the way. I've only picked up 2 stacks of 20, but one went for 10g the other went for 15g. It takes about 30mins, but def worth it.
I've only seen deviate fish in the oasises of the barrens, but they might be caught in other places. I don't think too many ppl no that, thats prob why the price is so high on an Alliance AH.

As far as best-sellers goes, Stonescale eels (Tanaris). I generally sell a stack for 15-18G
Basically fish anywhere that you don’t constantly get the message that the fish got away. If your fish are consistently getting away that means that your skill is not high enough to fish where you’re trying to fish. So your choices are to fish in a lower level zone or, if you really want the type of fish that you can pull out of that particular water, you can use a fishing lure to add to your skill for a short period of time. There are also a few fishing poles in game that will add to your fishing skill. And if you try to fish in water and you aren’t even allowed to cast your line into it, that means that the skill required to fish there is far above your own.
So in a nutshell, if all you want is to raise your fishing skill, fish in a lower level zone where the fish don’t get away. Even your starting area will work for this. Also, as your fishing skill increases you’ll find that it takes more successful catches to further increase your skill, no mater what water your fishing in.

What I've found is that getting to 225 skill is trivially easy. Yes, there are places you can't fish in, but successful catches in the easy places raise your skill just as much as succesful catches in the hard places.
When you get to L40 and perform the fishing quest, getting to 300 is equally trivial. I went from 225 to 300 in only a few hours of fishing after finishing the quest.
Once you get to 300, you don't need lures and/or any fishing adds from objects any more.

This isn't always true; I hear that you still need bait in level 55+ areas like EPL or Winterspring. Not positive, but I think it's true.

look at your skills (I use a +20 pole):
without lure: 300 (+20) = 300
with 75 lure: 300 (+95) = 300
with 100 lure:300 (+120)= 300
You aren't going to go beyond 300, no matter how many adds.

I just asked a guildmate and she said her skill has been above 300 (and she has 300 fishing skill). She uses bait and a +20 fishing rod (Big Iron), so usually she has 345 skill.
The highest skill you can get used to be 427, I believe. That's the Horde's fishing rod, the fishing enchant, and +100 bait (Aquadynamic). Now we have new stuff; fishing hat, and some others, right? So, your skill can get pretty high up now.

Your guildmate just hasn't looked at her skills lately. I got the results I quoted by looking at mine. If you want proof, look at this image:Florisant skills. I'd like to see your guildmate post hers that shows 300(+95)/395.

Ah, I think we're mixing up syntaxes. The fishing skill on the left side of the /300 is your current fishing skill (with all the additions). This is what you are fishing with. The /300 itself is the max your skill alone can go to. If you have 300 (+95)/300, you still have 395 skill. Your base fishing skill itself will never rise above 300/300; but your actual fishing skill is your base (+additions) / 300. So, yes, bait and lures and items still make a difference when you have 300 skill; I mean, why else would you have an over 300 skill in that picture? ^_^

You're right. Boy, am I embarrased! I had just finished explaining to a newbie guildmate that very thing (the number on the left is your current, the number on the right is your maximum), but of course I didn't apply the logic to my own character. What can I say, other than "I suffered a senior moment"?
So, perhaps there are places that need skill over 300. I haven't gone to those (or possibly I have, but haven't fished there). In an experiment at Tanaris, however, I fished for 20 minutes with a lure and 20 minutes without a lure with the results being virtually identical - perhaps that's what gave me the mind fart. I just hope that I didn't lead anyone astray.
There are definitely places that require over 300 Fishing even just to cast out. Winterspring I believe is the hardest fishing zone at 395 to cast out, but the coast of Azshara is not far behind at 375. Zul'Gurub also is a high end zone and requires more than my current non-lure max of 342 to cast out. Note that those are just numbers to cast out, not to catch with any regularity. I have to use Attractors in all of those zones to not lose fish.
Someone also commented on the new fishing max. You can get to 352 with the following upgrades:
300 base skill
+35 Arcanite Fishing Pole
+5 High Test Eternium Fishing Line
+5 Lucky Fishing Hat
+5 Nat Pagle's Extreme Anglin' Boots
+2 Enchant Gloves - Fishing
Hope this helps.
