80, 94 = Swamp of Sorrows.

34, 31 = STV

Hope that saves you guys time, I know it would have been helpful for me :D

Terrage's coords are checked and correct. However i excpected a school of fish, but you just have to fish the plain water untill you catch the required fish. Good luck for catching them fast.

This quest and it's prerequisites require exactly 225 fishing. The prerequisites only point you to Nat Pagle and they aren't necessary in order to get this quest. With a simple +75 fishing lure and fishing on Terrag's coords (see above) you'll get the fish in around 5 tries.

I couldn't begin the quest at level 60 until I had reached exactly 225 fishing.

I just found Nat at: Tidefury Cove (58, 59).

Requirements for this quest are now as follows 225/225 fishing skills and player level 35.
Cords are as follows:
( I didn't write down names of fish only cords where I found the 4~ sorry) You need 1 of each fish for Quest.

Nat Pagle is at -58,59
fish for quest:
26,76 -in Desolace (took a while-10 mins or so)
62,51 -in Feralas (quick)
80,94 -Swamp of Sorrows (2casts..mobs low 40's)
34,31 -Stranglethorn Vale (took a while-10 mins & mobs lvl 36+ nearby.
Once you have all 4 fish:
Back to Nat Pagle @ 58,59&nbsp
Hope this helps!

Doesn't matter if you are at the exact coordinates... just have to be in the right area. A funny thing though that you can get more than 1 fish with the same cast when you get the quest fish :D

Thanks, Terrag, here's those map locations visually:

4. Swamp of Sorrows for http://classicdb.ch/?item=16970 : http://classicdb.ch/?maps=8:900720

at 225 and lvl 35 you can get this quest. might be hard to get to some of the places to get those specific fish at lvl 35 though.

Note that the Verdantis river, where you catch the Feralas Ahi, is NOT the river that runs through the Horde encampment.&nbsp It's the one that crosses the road midway between Camp Mojache and the west coast.

For those of you who don't use Coords, here's a simple way to do this quest:

First you should know that to get this quest the minimum requirements is to be level 35 and at a fishing skill of 225.

Second after you are 35 with skill 225 all you have to do is go to Nat Pagle in Dustwallow marsh, hes on a small island west of Theramore Isle.

Third all you need to do to catch these fish is have the name of where they mention in the quest above your minimap, anywhere inside that area is fine to catch them.

Now for the quest:

Savage Coast Blue Sailfin - This fish needs to be caught in Stranglethorn Vale. Now there are two places one is called SOUTHERN Savage Coast, and the other is just Savage Coast, you must be at Savage Coast to catch this fish and that is near the Grom'gol base camp (which is horde Ugh. lol) After you catch that fish Run up to darkshire and follow the road that takes you east out of town and head east through Deadwind Pass following the road to Swamp of Sorrows.

Misty Reed Mahi Mahi - This one is in Swamp of Sorrows (which is East of Darkshire). It's at the very south eastern most part of the zone past the Sunken Temple of Attal'Hakkar and threw some lvl 45+ dragonkin. Now when you get all the way over here i went out into the water at the South West part and there are three islands, one of which you still stay in the Misty Reed and can fish off of without Murlocs trying to pester you. The other two islands however are just barely out of the area so make sure you are still in Misty Reed or you'll never see that fish. From here you can either die and spirit res at Graveyard near stoneard or walk here then walk south into Blasted lands where alliance can fly from Nethergarde Keep (Northeast part of map) up to Menethil harbor to venture to the other continent. Take the boat over to Theramore Isle, Dustwallow Marsh, then fly to Desolace.

Sar'theris Striker - This fish is in Desolace near another horde town called Shadowprey village and it's pretty far south near the zone to Feralas and west of the Gelkis clan over on that coast. After you catch this fish back track a lil past Gelkis clan area and follow the road that takes you South into Feralas.

Feralas Ahi - there's a Horde town (lol horde must really like fishing or something) in the middle of Feralas which has a river running along side of it, thats Verdantis River and since i'm Alliance i just went a little way downstream and caught it.

After you've done all that head to whichever Flight path you think is closest there is one to the east of you and to the west of you in Feralas, I went to Feathermoon Stronghold and flew back to Dustwallow Marsh, Where i went and saw Nat Pagle and completed the quest. Now i can sit back and fish all the way to 300.

Well i hope this guide helped. And good luck fishing!

I completed this at level 47 I got 3900 XP and no reputation adjustment.

The coordinates posted by Bradlius were spot on:
Feralas -62,53(first cast)
Desolace -26,77(first cast)
Stranglethorn Vale -29,27(eighth cast)
Swamp of Sorrows -94,40(third cast)

3900xp at level 40. The only minor annoyance were the crocs on the beach in STV, and the travel time. Other than that, no problem. Didn't even get rolled by Horde (though I shared the Feralas spot with a ? Tauren, guess he was more interested in fishing than squishing)

1. Misty Reed Mahi Mahi (Swamp of Sorrows 77,6)
2. Sar'theris Striker (Desolace 25,80)
3. Feralas Ahi: (Feralas 63,54)
4. Savage Cost Blue Sailfin (Stranglethorn Vale 22,20)

At Feralas I caught the Feralas Ahi standing at 62,52

I caught 22 other fish before I caught it, which I didn't mind as I could use them to improve my cooking.

at 58,60

Ahi: ~5 casts
Sailfin: ~35 casts
Striker: ~5 casts
Mahi Mahi: ~35 casts

(225 fishing, +25 fishing-pole, no lure)

Btw, according to blizzard website's fishing guide, all that matters wrt where to fish is the area name above the minimap:

&nbsp &nbsp http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/professions/fishing.html
&nbsp &nbsp (search for "Does it matter where I fish?")

I wanted to add this guide (http://www.capsu.org/wow/getting_started.html#developing_skill) - Scroll down to where it starts explaining the Artisan quest.

I just did this quest, and this guide was very helpful (for instance, letting me know that for the Feralas Ahi I should equip a lure for sure, as it's high enough level I "could" lose the bite).

It also links to maps that show you where the fish have actually been caught by other people. I think it's a great little fishing guide.

I did this quest on 3/19/05:
XP: 3,900
Level completed at: 43
Class: Mage (Fire, Arcane)
Number of Casts to get Quest Fish:
Swamp of Sorrows (Misty Reed Strand) -> 17 casts
Desolace (Sartheris Strand) -> 8 casts
Feralas (Verdantis River) -> 18 casts
Stranglethorn Vale (Savage Coast) -> 6 casts
Tips:
- Make sure you are on "The Savage Coast" and not "The Southern Savage Coast".
- All of these places are relatively safe for Alliance players except for Feralas where I got ganked multiple times.
- The catch rate of these fish seem to deviate greatly amoung people, don't give up, you'll catch'em.

First, the person above with the short post & easy links - kudos! Anyone should be able to do it from there.

For alliance, here's my suggestion:

From Theramore. fly to Thalanaar. Go to the tloc & grab Ahi.

you can either double back to Thalanaar, and catch the flight to Feathermoon - NOT NIGEL'S! and swim up the coast to the tloc for the Striker OR just run over west & swim up. *If you have a mount or travel form, alternate between running the coast & swimming. There will be fatigue water, but just hug the coast, & you'll be ok

If you don't have a BIFPole yet, after the Striker, swim up & start raiding the shellfish traps by the troll village. The traps are laid out in a sort of double crescent from the troll village, like this:

&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Fatigue water ( ( |* <- village

The traps are on both the 'shelves,' as well as down in the valley between.

If you have swim speed potions, druid water travel form, undying breath, belt of swim speed, etc., it will go easier. The Drysnap Crawlers & Pincers are pretty aggressive, as well. The traps sometimes hold shellfish, sometimes a Drysnap, sometimes vendor crappola, and sometimes a nice magic item (my gf just pulled Stonecloth Gloves & Cuthroat's Mantle of the Owl), and RARELY a BIFP. The area is also a good source of Stranglekelp, as well.

After you get your BIFP, run on up in through Desolace to Nigel's Point, and fly back to Theramore. Boat from Theramore to Menethil. Griffon to SW, then to IF, then to Stranglethorn.

(The fishing Tournament has just been implemented in STV, so you may want to ask if it is going on while you are there - you can fish for the quest & the tourney at the same time)

After getting the Sailfin in STV, griffon from BB to Darkshire, and from Darkshire to Netherguard Keep in the Blasted lands.
From NGK, run up north into the SoS to get the Mahi. Be careful of the Stonard Sentries, Alliance!

Back to Netherguard you go!

(NOTE: if you are higher level, you may already have flight paths to Thorium Point & Morgan's Vigil, which makes things a little easier. But I am guessing most lower 40s won't)

Netherguard to Darkshire, and you can either fly south to BB and take the boat to Ratchet & swim/run down to Theramore, OR head up north through SW & IF to Menethil, and take the boat directly to Theramore. In either case, back to Pat.

If there was a flight path between BB & Netherguard, this would be easier, but alas! no . . .

As for the 'Horde only' pole, it was a BoE before, and would occasionally appear in the Gad AH - but I wouldn't hold my breath for one. The STV Tournament (as of patch 1.07) should have equivalent or better items.

Just too bad that big fish don't show up when held in off hand, and we can't enchant fishing poles with weapon enchants . . .

Happy Hookin'!

Went to Swamp of Sorrows first. Went south of the Murlocs for about 10 casts with normal fishing pole and no bait. Got attacked by a 43 elite Murloc dude. Vanished and went further north above Murlocs. Total casts about 13 and got the item and 4 Firefins.

To be continued....

I started this at L37 and finished at L38 (got distracted by other quests), with 225 fishing and a +5 pole.&nbsp I put them in order I did them.

Savage Coast Blue Sailfin:&nbsp this is important, so hang on, I'm going to yell:&nbsp IT CAN ALSO BE CAUGHT IN SOUTHERN SAVAGE COAST!&nbsp Someone said you couldn't, and the rest repeated it without even trying, so I tried it to see for myself, and succeeded on my 4th cast.&nbsp Started in Booty Bay, swam a very short distance up the west coast til it said "southern savage coast".&nbsp Easiest.&nbsp Almost the entire western coast of Stranglethorn Vale will suffice.

Misty Reed Mahi Mahi:&nbsp this one, the entire east coast of Swamp of Sorrows will work.&nbsp If you don't want to chance the trek through the zone, you can swim north from Stranglethorn or south from the Wetland's Thandol Span, though both ways, while safer, would take a good long time.&nbsp 15 casts, attacked by L44 murlocs.&nbsp Hearthstoned home.

Sar'theris Striker:&nbsp two sections of the west coast of Desolace will do, possibly the little island in the northwest (you can try for yourself if you're curious).&nbsp Went Ashenvale -> Stonetalon -> Desolace, also swimable I suppose.&nbsp 4 casts and moving on.

Feralas Ahi:&nbsp coastline won't work this time, and there's L48+ MoBs about.&nbsp Took the road from Desolace, kept an eye out for any MoB that wandered too close.&nbsp Followed it south, then east when it curved, kept going until&nbsp "Verdantis River" came up on the screen (the river is green on the mini-map).&nbsp Took me 17 casts (11 fails, 6 successes).&nbsp Never attacked.&nbsp Hearthstone home, fly to Theramore, swim to Nat, and finished.

Final notes:

• Southern Savage Coast will work for the sailfin
• if you have the time, you can avoid attacks by swimming to 3 of the spots
• you don't need lures or the +25 pole, although in Feralas it will save you some time fishing (I didn't get any fails on the first 3).

STV - 33,32 / 3 casts
SoS - 90,72 / 34 casts
Des - 25,77 / 1 cast
Fer - 62,51 / 6 casts

Did this quest as a lvl 60 undead rogue on the EU Earthenring server. Took me about 1 hour including flight time. Only used my +25 fishing rod, no special lure.

As of patch 1.8 this quest (and the Cooking and First Aid quests) can be attained at level 35. Still requires 225 Fishing skill.
