Winning the Underlight Angler

Keya went back to her favorite fishing spot in Aszuna, the Grey Shoals. There are a few elites around but they don't bother anyone. The little river there empties into the ocean, although you have to go out into deep water before the river becomes The Great Sea.

Many days ago Keya caught the rare Axefish, an ocean fish, in that little river. That success encouraged Keya that here the rare barracuda could also be caught. However, she was a bit anxious about her chances with the barracuda because she had already failed in one attempt caused by a fly.  Yep, a fly.

Trying not to think about her prior failure, she went about her business. She fished out two black barracuda schools with no luck, but she continued to fish using her Arcane Lures. Fishing is a slow process, but eventually she got her first clue, a Message in a Bottle. A glob of whale blubber followed. The blubber attracted a fly which Keya caught! She then used the fly for bait.

 She was on a five minute timer and she continued to fish for two minutes with no luck. She suddenly remembered that the fish HAD be caught in open water. Keya opened an elixer of water walking and ran out of the little river into the ocean. She didn't have to go very far before sighting the great sea. On her third cast standing on top of the water, she caught the Ancient Black Barracuda!

Keya has completed the quest "Bigger Fish to Fry." Next up is the quest, Luminous Pearl. Keya must fish up this pearl from a fishing pool. It took many pools and about 45 minutes before Keya caught a Luminous Pearl. Keya brought the pearl to Khadgar. Frankly, he wasn't very interested, but suggested a trip to the Dalaran Fountain might be worthwhile.

At the fountain, Keya was supposed to get the quest Fish Frenzy from Nat Pagle, but Keya dawdled too long at the fountain with Marcia, the fishing expert. Not to worry, though, Pagle eventually found her. From there Nat took Keya into a scenario to kill about a hundred murlocs and then fish about eight pools. Finally, Keya took on an elite murloc in a deep underwater hole. With Nat's help they killed it. Keya and Nat Pagle returned to the fountain and Pagle presented Keya with her own Underlight Fishing pole, an i750 pole that has +60 fishing skill and can instantly place her at the nearest fishing pool within 100 yards. The fishing pole is actually an artifact that can be upgraded. Keya is only just starting to figure out how to make that work.

AND, it is truly AWESOME looking! Pictures will be coming.
