This is the new Ironforge Version of the Fishing Daily. I am not sure if this quest is buggy but it took me a few tries to get it. First step is to fly out to the lake on the easte side of dun morough. swim down to the bottom then back up. you should get these little crabs on you. Do not mount up or use special abilities like blink / ice block or it removes the cray fish. you have to walk west not too far to the cheff NPC and just turn the quest in there. This quest does share a cool down with the other fishing daily quests unfortunately there is no way to do all 3 in one day to get more skill ups like i hoped.
Once you use the bait, you just have to jump in. Don't mount up or you'll lose the Crayfish Catch buff.

Description
If ye've ever fished fer crayfish, ye know they respond best to live bait, an' the more bait, the better. Would ye like to test my new bait? Simply smear this on yerself an' hop into Helm's Bed Lake in eastern Dun Morogh. After ye've got the catch, take it to me friend, Cook Ghilm at Gol'Bolar Quarry, west of the lake. He's an expert at cookin' those oversized bugs!
