I fished in the centre of sholozar basin.
The only mobs that are there are in the water but they don't get out of it.
When I got in combat with the I just walked away for like 10 yards and I would leave combat again.
The place I just at the water was the little bridge I got in combat the least there.
Another possible place is Crystalsong Forest under Dalaran. The drop rate is lower there but there are very few mobs that are hostile (only some wolfs).

Just finished the fishing contest using my twink. last week it took my main 55 min to get 1 blacktip shark using the Fjord inalnds and I didn't have anyone to compete with for pools. This week I fished with my twink using the frozen sea (no mobs there) south of the Unu'pe flight path. caught a shark in 15 min. hearthed turned that in. caught my 2nd shark with abt 3 min left in the contest. keep in mind that the shark is unique so you will have to go turn it in b4 you grab another. not too much luck with the bags. I got a glow worm, a velociraptor skull, a runic mana pot, and a waterlogged recipe from one lol unfortunatley it has a lvl 70 req. From the other I only got 3 elixirs of water walking and a Diamond-tipped cane. 300 rep total. If I get 2 sharks ea week thats 10 weeks till friendly. I'm wondering now if the kaluak dailies will open up to her once she hits friendly. otherwise I'm looking at 140 weeks at the very least prob more like 3 years.

Secclusion it seems you had more luck then me this week.
I went fishing at the blue sky logging grounds in grizzly hills. Lots of fishing pools there and only a few hostile mobs there but they don't swim
. Unfortunately after 1 hour of fishing I had no sharks .
But I did get over 100 northend salmon for the guild bank and 90 pygmy suckerfish

I don't think your fishing skill matters Parfait and there are 2 reason I say so.
First is that since patch 3.3 you cannot get grays and other thrash from fishing pools (highest drop rate for sharks is in pools)
Second is that I have 450/450 fishing and I caught 0 sharks this week. While last week I was only 425 and I caught 1 after about 40min.

base skill 450 fishing hat & a strong fishing pole with a sharpened fishing hook making it 560 total. If you're planning on doing this tournament get you fishing skill high enough to not catch any junk for the zone you are going to fish in. Frozen sea I did not fish any junk. I also posted up my main there with fishing pole equipped and salty title (as always) to act as a scarecrow to other players. I used this same area to farm the sea turtle for her too so I know the area well. having the Hook of the master angler also helped in getting to some of the pools on the southern side of the area faster. total catches 83 pygmy suckerfish, 75 deep seas monsterbellies, 44 moonglow cuttle fish, 4 crates, & 4 catches of crystalized water, 4 imperial manta rays(I fished 1 pool on my way back to the zone atfer turning in the 1st shark). I caught zero junk saw 1 person at the start of the contest and 1 in the middle but there was always a "next" pool for me to go to. As far as open water I know you can get junk there. There were some times I mades some catches in between applying lures but didn't get junk then either.

it's not "blizzard", why do you think they have not put level requirement on the hat of STV ? they even gave it to the experience eliminator, proof that they acknowledge it, there might be a level requirement for fishing poles eventually, but I doubt it. The blue hat will never have a level requirement, the chances of having it ar close to nothing... I didnt loot a shark yet... and even if you loot one, u have 1/100 = 2 years, and if u loot only one shark once every 2 weeks, that's 4 years... 2014. For the poles you ca multiply that for each of them 2018-2020 or 2014-2016 for any of the 2 poles... give or take a few years... might get still working in 2020...
and this is if you have no competition...
But would you seriously run around hitting with a fishing pole ? I might do it once in a while but not often tbh... not close to remotely fun, even if deadly...but we arent alrdy deadly aren't we ?
The hat is ok, they will NEVER nerf it... it's just the big brother version of the other, + doubled by the fact that twink are dying, and disappearing, so hey it's not their main concern. The green hat you have a shot at it in 2-3 weeks, the other one you have a shoot at it in hundreds of weeks... I think the 30 extra stamina is paid nice and clean... Obviously the one lucky enought to get it on the first bag... will get paid by everyone of us who do not ever get it... frustrating to say the least...
And there is no need to "not tell" your brother, Blizzard knows it, they are not stupid...If they didn't want low level to have a shot, they would have put a level requiremend of 70 to start with, they know exaclty what lay behind when they allow a level 1 to acess anything, they are very carefully of it. They just know the odds, of getting thoses things are close to nothing. They should start by moving the turn in NPC. The contest lasting a few seconds, with 15 seconds advantage to alliance imply that most if not all winners are bound to be alliance... And not only I told my brother, but I made a in game request to, hopefully this would be changed soon (when I mean soon, in 6 months... like the SoTA ^^), so horde can actually stand a chance at winning that thing
Secondly, why do you think that hat, has 40 stamina ? I think they designed the Kalu'ak contest ages ago, even before wotlk was shipped... They made that hat a replica to the other one, knowing that the STV hat had a whole history behind, and quite popular among twinks. I don't think it's underlooked that we can get that new hat... even by "we can", it means we have 1/10000 to 1/20000 chances every time we cast our pole in a pool, against around 1/300 for the STV hat. And for each of the pole up to 1/40000.
In my mind they didn't designed that hat for the fishing daily but for Kalu'ak, except that this contest was only implemented lately in 3.3.
The droprate difference justify the stats.
Laslty, I don't recall anybody loosing any item they ever get, they can do whatever they want with enchants, putting level requirement, turning it around, removing everything enchant if they want to, tomorrow. But you will NEVER loose any items you ever get. So if you can wear that hat, and thoses poles today, you should normally do it tomorrow no matter what. Even that ring that someone looted at molten core one day, it was only accessible for one night or so, the guy never lost it, even tho nobody else ever got it. The furbolg pouch they never put a level requirement for it, they just changed how the spell work, preventing it to being cast by a low level... So I firmly believe, even if you tell all your brothers, thoses items would never have level requirement, I just hope that I loot the hat and not the pole...
However there might be a few scenarios where you do loose something, I remember owning the Karazhan key on my 69 rogue, when we couldn't get any summon at tempest keep (part of the chain), I managed to get up there, like Son'goku cimbling at the top of the Karin tower, and jumping from the Eye tower in slow fall... They stole my key. :x
But well it's still very rare.

wow, your post sorta loses me? but, i was not talking about the 15 stamina Lucky Fishing Hat from STV
The 40 stamina/spirit hat i'm talking about is Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat which was introduced into the game on patch 2.4 almost 2 years ago. this hat was designed with BC in mind, it just happens to be good enough in their opinion to use it in WotLK. this hat is a random reward from doing BC fishing dailies which is unobtainable by twinks. Blizzard also added it to the WotLK fishing dailies from dalaran which is unobtainable by twinks. Now have added it as a random reward for turning in a shark during the new fishing tourney from patch 3.3. which may be obtainable by twinks.
as for the RNGs/math of catching a shark, anything is possible. no one thought anyone would be winning this contest in 5-6 minutes either.
as for Blizzard not being stupid, i wouldn't totally say they are totally stupid, but they aren't overly smart either. i would have to disagree..... patches, hot fixes, failure to balance game, buffs, rebuffs, and nerfs prove me right. failure to properly test changes other than PTR has proved fail. making changes for PVE and not considering effects on PVP is poor quality control on their part.
as for a twink using the epic fishing pole, i would say it is possible, or one of the Blue WotLK poles that comes from the bag. a 19 paladin, druid, shaman could very easily use one since their attacks won't say "requires a melee weapon"
in your statement
[B]So I firmly believe, even if you tell all your brothers, thoses items would never have level requirement, I just hope that I loot the hat and not the pole...[/B]
well blizz put a 35 level requirement on the fishing boots from STV that 19 twinks used to wear, so yes you didn't lose them, but they became useless. They could have easily made them a level-1 thru 34 item to make BC enchants inactive

another example of Blizz not really thinking
all 3 northrend fishing poles can be equipped by players as low as level-5. they all have incredible damage when used as a weapon. the one with +40 shadow resist...wow...no need to go there.
some may say twinks are fading and they don't care....well they made a point to renerf and put a requires level 25 on the ''Big Iron Fishing Pole" that is obtained in desolace from crab crates. some players were equipping it and using it 19 twink bracket. btw, anyone ever notice how when you equip a fishing pole with no stats how your crit jumps
they didn't have to nerf a level req on Arcanite Fishing Pole. maybe because the DPS/damage doesn't exceed normally obtained weapons in our bracket, unless you make a level 10 twink paladin

This is a terrible post. All you did in your post was restate the same thing several times over. Of course it will be nerfed. Do you think Blizzard gave a shit about twinks that spent 24 hours /played leveling herbing and mining? Nope.
