The rewards
“Can’t say I really enjoy fishin’ itself much. Figure I been at it for a good 20 or 30 years now. – Nat Pagle
For delivering 40 Tastyfish within the given time and, most important of all, before anybody else, you’ll have a choice of either:
- The Arcanite Fishing Pole, used by Pagle himself. Gives a hefty +35 Fishing bonus. http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19970
- My favourite, the Hook of the Master Angler, a trinket that turns you into a fish, giving you extra swim speed and underwater breathing. http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19979
Then again, you might not win That just happens, and you’ll be able to deliver your Tastyfish at Riggle’s assistant Jang for 32s per five. This may not look a lot, but it adds up quite quickly!
Riggle likes some extra competition, too. He let loose, inside his groups of tastyfish, some rare fish. He has configured his Fishbot 5000 to trade the following fish for the following rewards:
- You can trade Keefer’s Angelfish, http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19805, in for the famous Lucky Fishing Hat, http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19972 . Looks great.
- You can trade the Dezian Queenfish, http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19806 (omg looks like Nemo), for http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19971, the High Eternium Fishing Line, which adds +5 Fishing skill to your fishing pole (like an enchant).
- You can trade Brownell’s Blue Striped Racer, http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19803, for http://wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=19969, Nat Pagle’s Extreme Anglin’ Boots.

Tips & Tricks
”Got no more quotes for you :(“ –Tinker
First of all, put your Hearthstone in the Salty Sailor Inn. This will save you the walking back when you finally got those forty fish.
Second, get in Stranglethorn a bit before time (10-20 minutes will do) and find yourself a desolate spot where nobody else is. As your Hearthstone is hopefully in Booty Bay, it won’t be a problem how far away from Riggle it is.
Thirdly, get the add-on Fishing Buddy (http://ui.worldofwar.net/ui.php?id=1095) this is a great addon which tracks the Tastyfish school locations and also has a double-right click bobber-cast, which means you can hook them in very swiftly.
Fourthly, scout ahead. While fishing, move your camera around to check for your next pool!
Lastly, get a fishing outfit. Hat and boots are great, although the Mechbuilder’s Overalls or Recruit’s Shirt (warrior starting shirt) will help too for your fishing stylishness. You could also go fully dressed as a pirate, or maybe even look like a fish… Use your imagination to baffle the other participants (which gives you a few more important seconds to fish!). For a detailed list what you can wear, see below!

Happy fishing and good luck!
