TheWoWDBIf you're facing out towards the ocean from the quest giver's area, Narsong Spires is the extremely tall rock formation to your left. Some eggs are located at the very top. However, you can also go to the cliff to your right where there are more eggs on a much lower shelf. Grab an egg out of one of the nests, then just throw the egg in the water and it'll make a neon green colored circle. Aim your lure at it and get your Silver Goby.

It seems after WoD came out the drop rate of the Silver Goby is greatly reduced. Before you got the fish after 1-2 attempts, now I've done this quest several times and I noticed 2 things:
1. The green egg pool disappears after about 4 to 6 fishing casts.
2. I had to throw 2 to 4 eggs until I get the goby, it means the drop rate is reduced form almost 100 % to about 5 to 10 %.
This is according to my personal experience.
My fishing skill was at 15 and I could complete this quest.

Description
Great cranes have been nesting in this area for generations. The Narsong Spires provide a sheltered area to rear their young. Their pristine eggs are revered as bait for catching the silver goby. Retrieve a crane egg and see if you can catch a goby!
