Skinning/Herb or Skinning/Mining with some Fishing on the side. Fishing is a personal prefrence. You either like it or you don't. Unlike the other gathering professions, and even counting selling/gathering cloth drops, when you fish all you do is fish. You don't gain XP by fishing, and it is boring as hell in most cases. If you're on a PvP server, you're likely to get torn up quite a bit if you're watching movies while doing it. However, that being said, fishing is a good source of money no doubt (as others have illustrated for you). Stonescale eels sell very well, and blackmouths/firefins also sell pretty decently. I've found that aliance side, deviate's and savory deviate delight (the cooked version) sell better and for more money than horde side. However, to cook um, you're going to need to get the deviate delight recipe which can run quite a bit on some servers aliance side (I've seen them for well over 100g). Horde side, they are much more common b/c they only drop in the barrens, and that being said prices are lower. On an end note, that 100g recipe will often allow you to make back the money it costs in a weekend aliance side... people love their fish :)
