Fishing hmmm...Follow

What's your faction? Are you on a PvP server? Finding the good locations to fish at depends on those answers. I have no idea why you dislike Firefin Snappers. They are money in your pocket.

It's good to have your input on this subject. However, you should confine yourself to answering the question instead on making off-the-wall comments. It's quite obvious that YOU will never make any money from fishing. Consider yourself a loser. I'm quite aware that some people find fishing to be boring, and I'm fairly certain that the OP knows this as well. However, "Fishing is boring" does not address the question of "Can anyone give me advice on how to catch better items/fish", and that's why your remark displays the brainpower of a flatworm - and I may be giving the flatworms too much credit.

If you could reveal your faction and character level we could help you out. No use sending you to a zone where the mobs will wipe you out while you fish.

The Deviate fish in the ponds outside the Wailing Caverns in the Barrens sell nicely. And, if you're a cook and can make the Deviate Fish Delight....even better.

Good if you are horde, but if you are alliance on a PvP server? Yeah, right!

"Here I am, hordies! Please, oh please gank me! ...and as long as you're in the area, camp my body!"

Lol allies are kill on sight on the server I play on.

Ah, Mud Snappers.

Go to Darkshore. If you haven't done Blump's fishing quest or the electropellaer quest, do both of those - easy skillups and XP. Along the coast of Darkshore, you will find a few Oily Blackmouth and some Firefin Snappers. Those are your money fish. If you want to, you can take the boat from Auberdine to Menethil Harbor, where both seem to be more plentiful.

Aszune is a European PvE server, so you don't have to worry about getting ganked if you go to the Barrens and fish the oases there. I think that the Stagnant Oasis is a better place to start fishing there for Deviate fish, because the turtles there seem to drop the recipe for Savory Deviate Delight fairly often. At least, that's where I picked up all of mine. The fish sell well, but cooked, they sell even better and for more gold. There are more deviate fish to be caught at Lushwater Oasis, and at the pool just outside of the Wailing Caverns, but go for the recipe first.

When you get to around Level 25, you should be at 225 fishing skill. At that time, you should make your way to Tanaris and get the FP to Gadgetzan. Yes, I know that the zone is L40-50, but fishing there is fairly safe, as long as you stick to fishing at Steamwheedle Port and Wavestrider Beach. The turtles don't aggro, and fishing is safe. Use +75 lures, Fish all of the pools, and when there are no pools, Fish for Oily Blackmouth, Firefin Snapper, Stonescale Eels, and clams (which sometimes contain pearls). Be sure to bring lures with you, since there isn't a place you can buy them in either Gadgetzan or Steamwheedle Port.

If you had been on a PvP server, my advise would have been a bit different. There is an open bounty (at least it seems like there is) on Night Elf scalps in The Barrens, and the same holds true for Tanaris.
