Angling to Beat the Competition is a Horde-only quest for level 10-30 in Zangarmarsh. It is step 58 of 64 in the Zangarmarsh storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Zangarmarsh at 32.2, 49.6. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

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!

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

  • Have You Ever Seen One of These?Zangarmarsh · Level 10-30

    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

  • The Biggest of Them AllZangarmarsh · Level 10-30

    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.
