TheWoWDBThis quest doesn't open up until you do Mazu's Breath, You Otter Know, and Fresh Pots given by [npc=63349]. The only way to start those quests is to get Gambling Problem from [npc=64599]. And he won't give you that quest until you have done some of the Klaxxi paragon quest line. The starter quest for these is Better Dead than Dread. Then up to The Root of the Problem, the ending part of Korven the Prime section. You don't have to go any further than that if you are just looking for the Anglers rep quests.

Post-WoD and after hitting 100, my boosted level 90 was unable to acquire any of the breadcrumb lead-ins to the Dread Wastes questlines. 20 minutes of flying around eventually ran me into [npc=62202] at [70.2, 25.7], who was already out of his amber prison and offered the starting quests Wakening Sickness and Ancient Vengeance.
I did a million unnecessary quests in dread waste at level 100 until I realized I needed to turn on "low level quest" to see the quests offered by Deck Boss Arie
Hope this saves someone's time and aggravation

Description
Alright, {name}, I got another job for ya. You see that lion seal in the pen over there? Name's Dog. He's been Soggy's pet for years. Dog's acting up lately - I think he's getting restless in that pen. Why don't you go talk to Soggy and let him know. I'd say it's about time you meet the cap'n anyway.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- You Otter Know
You know what happened to the bait in those pots? Otters. That's what happened. They prefer fresh clams, but they'll pick our crab traps clean if they're hungry enough. The otters in Lonesome Cove are protected by law and we run a legitimate operation here.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Old Age and Treachery
Look, I ain't got reason to trust you, but there's a task I can't give to my crew. I need you to search the wreck of our old ship, the Mist-Hopper, and bring back the charter. It'd be sealed up in a silver tube, in a footlocker. It's sort of, uh... incriminating.
