"A traditional Tuskarr fishing spear; the craftsmanship is a sight to behold."

well it costs 1000g so I hope its not just another rod.

btw per the comments on wowhead people have managed to get the buff from the spear to stack to 100 and if fishing skill past some point still ups the chance for good things then that would be the way to win the turny.

ok, im going to mess with that spear and figure out how to make it work then.

regarding the fishing tourny, you can win it with level one fishing since you fish in pools no fishing skill required, i have won the tourny at least five times

Per some reading you don't have to fish in pools, but pools up the odds.

true, you can fish in any open water, but if you are fishing to win. pools makes a huge differance, all my wins have been from fishing in pools and pools have no fishing level to catch whats in the pool. since i dont try to win anymore, heres my winning strat\tip fish at shalazar basin start at the northern lake and work your way south to the center lake and follow a river after that. I have always caught a fish in less than 10 minutes if im going to win.

the one time that was really odd, it took me about 15minutes to catch the shark, i had fogotten to set my hearth to Dal. so I ended up flying all the way back and STILL was first to turn in and won it! oh that was truely amazing.
