Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza
Every Sunday at 2 p.m., Riggle Bassbait opens the contest from Booty Bay. In Classic and Forever it runs on realm time: Speckled Tastyfish pools appear along the Stranglethorn coast from 2 to 4 p.m., and turn-ins stay open until 5. You don't need to pick up a quest. You need Fishing 150 to land fish in Stranglethorn water.
Next start in your own time: Sunday, Nov 15, 7:00 PM
