This quest actually gives you a Potion of Water Breathing so there's no need to get any other one. Also, if you use it, destroy it, whatever. You can get another potion by dropping and retaking the quest.
These guys are clumped up near the entrance to coilfang reservoir, at the bottom of the lake. Easy kills, but I suggest having some sort of underwater breathing buff.
Your water breathing potion from Maktu's Revenge works great if you still have charges left. http://www.wowhead.com/?item=25539

Description
It's a relief to be in someplace with water after trekking through the wasteland of Hellfire Peninsula. I was worried there might not be any respectable fishing holes in Outland. Now I'm glad I lugged my fishing supplies along. For the most part, the fishing's been good, except for those no good fenclaw thrashers in Serpent Lake. Not only do they scare the fish away, but they're bold enough to snap the bait right off my hook. I spend more time re-baiting the hook than I do catching anything!
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

- Have You Ever Seen One of These?
This marsh be missin' one thing, mon! There be no murlocs here. Don't worry, mon, I got a plan to fix the problem. See Gargle 'n' Gurgle over there? I plan to give the gift o' murlocs to the Lost Ones! Take this cage with you to Daggerfen Village an' release 'em in the northeastern cluster of huts.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Biggest of Them All
You've dealt with most of the little hydra, but I doubt Mragesh was impressed by your display. He's a cunning, ferocious beast and he's dogged many an angler in his time. I intend to be the last one he'll ever bother. He's bound to be hiding deep in the waters of Serpent Lake, to the northeast.
