Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza

The Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza is a 2 hour contest to see who will be the first to catch 40 Speckled Tastyfish. You can also win prizes if you catch one of 3 different types of rare fish. The contest will take place every Sunday from 2PM to 4PM.

Fishing Extravaganza Info

  • the fish spawn in easy to spot pools along the entire coastline of Stranglethorn Vale
  • your fishing bobber must land inside the pool
  • you get about 5 catches then the pool disapears, but new ones spawn nearby
  • there doesn't appear to be a fishing skill limit to fish in the pools


Winning the Fishing Contest

Quest Giver Location:
Speak to Riggle Bassbait <Fishmaster> who is located in Booty Bay, in the southern tip of Stranglethorn Vale. He will only be there during the short hours of the contest and then disappear. He will be standing on one of the middle layers of the docks. Look for a large anchor hanging in the air.

Riggle Bassbait will give you the quest, "Master Angler," to try and be the first to give him 40 Speckled Tastyfish. If you win, you will be able to pick one of the rewards below.
