how to make cash fishing!!!!Follow

first when u just get the skill ( this could be a long term project) level it up to about 40, once there go to the pond right in front of the wailing caverns. fish there and sell the deviate fish ( they are worth a bit i havent fished there in a long time so check the AH for median prices) once you have leveld your skill to about 150 buy some bright baubles and head to tanaris. go to the dock at steamwheedle port and cast there. during the winter there is a chance to catch " winter squid" have them cooked to make " grilled squid" these add a 10 agility buff that lasts for 15 min. a stack of 20 goes for around 2-3g.
also, you can sell firefin snapper for about the same.

there are clams that you can catchby fishing or aquire by killing the nearby turtles. the " big mouth clams" dont sell for much but there is a chance that there is a pearl inside. i have caught over 30 clams with black pearls about 15 with iridescant and 3 with golden pearls which go for 20g each ( about ).i also had enough luck to catch a clam with a golden and an iridescent in it.

but the one thing i have made the most cash off of are the stonescale eels. these you can sell to an alchemist or raid guild for quite a bit. i sell stacks of 20 for 10g. i did this so often that i bought my mount at lvl 30. i had to wait 10 lvls to use it but i didnt have to scramble for cash once i got there. they arent a rare drop and they are useful

i hope you find these fishing tips to your liking Happy fishing!!

Wow my server's really screwed up then lol

Firefin and blackmouths never sell for more than 30silver a stack and the AH is always full of them

the eels are 10 gold a stack if your lucky usually they go about 5-8 gold a stack.

the pearls are about the same though

This was extremely stupid of me. The Lunar festival is the best way to get to MH.

Make sure you have the gryphon post in Ironforge tagged
do the fireworks thing to get the lunar invite
Use the lunar invite to get to moonglade
Tag the gryphon post in moonglade
go to where the Darnassus dancers are, and use the lunar invite to port to Darnassus
Go to Ruth'eran village and tag the gryphon post
Take the boat to Auberdeen, tag the gryphon post there.
While you are in Aub, you might as well do the Blump Family Fishing Pole Quest and get that +3 fishing pole
Take the boat to Menethil Harbor, tag the gryphon post there

Now, you can fly to Menethin Harbor from Ironforge anytime you want to do some money fishing.

You know, I keep reading that it is supposed to be so great, but that hasn't been my experience. It takes a long time to get there and then back to any vendors or the Auction House, you have to be level 300 and use +100 lures to catch fish and you still miss a few, and the drop rates don't seem to be that much better than Steamwheedle Port, which you can fish at 150 and just be a short run from Gadgetzan. In the time it takes to get to the Bay of Storms, and for the cost or lures, I seem to be able to catch enough in Tanaris to make up for any deficiencies in the fishing.

Just my experience - your mileage may vary.

Sorry I didn't catch where you find stonescale eels? I am a night elf and I have a fishing skill of 150 and only lvl 12 if that will effect finding them.

I appreciate all the info here, I'm finally starting up fishing after blowing it off til now.

Mike, you mention Menethil Harbor as a good fishing spot. Do you happen to know what lvl fishing you need to start catching fish there, and is there a particular area you recommend? Just outside of town or somewhere further inland?

Thanks a lot.

I got an alt there at L6, and started fishing there with only 50 points. Buy lures, they will prevent a lot of "your fish got away!" notices. The lures can be purchased from the trade vendor inside the inn.

There is a spot to the north of the pier where a debris pool spawns, I usually fish there. I've only caught the pool twice...

Good guide, i may have to try fishing more often!

But dont forget catching good items; IMO catching "the 1 ring" at level 12 fishing was the fastest money I have made fishing so far...

Keep up the fishy work...

A stinkin' elf! You smell pretty, now shoo shoo!

To not miss fish at Steamwheedle, you'll need an adjusted 300 fishing skill. You'll catch cod, yellowfin, eels, mightfish, big mouth clams, firefin, blackmouths and winter squid (now) there.

I usually work the schools from Steamwheedle to Rigger's Cove and back (take a half-dozen lures if you need them) for the boxes (I actually get bummed when I catch a fish out of a school of...fish). Beware sharks and pirates...don't mess with the turtles.

Of course, fish the open water for the other fish.




I used to fish the shores of Lordamere Lake until I could cook up better mana-producers than Sagefish Delight (such as Nightfin Soup). A trip along the eastern edge of Lordamere Lake could bring in 50-60 Greater Sagefish.

This is quite different than on my server (Scarlet Crusade - Alliance AHs)

Stonescale Eel: 16-20G/stack (80S-1G each)
Firefin Snapper: 1G30S-1G80S/stack (6S50C-9S each)
Oily Blackmouth: 1G60S-2G40S/stack (8-12S each)

I think that a lot depends on how mature the server is. If a lot of rich L60s are power-levelling alts in alchemy, the result is a bit of inflation.

Amazing how different server economies can be. 7-10g for a golden pearl? 30g for one on Proudmoore.

looking at Deviate fish from a PVP viewpoint: People don't just want to be "pirates and ninja's" but Tauren do want to be harder to target (i.e. smaller target). I'll let that soak in for a minute and you can see a practical use for this wonderfully easy to catch fish. FOR THE HORDE!

I just got the Savory Deviate Delight Recipe so I will fish for Deviate Fish at times when Stonescale Eels don't bite (noon 'til 6 PM).

A five-stack of Savory Deviate Delight sells for one gold.
