Dieser "Fisch" ist fangbar vom 21. September 20. März bis (Herbst und Winter)

Kommentar von Vindicius

In Azshara kann man den Fisch seit 4.0 nicht mehr fangen. Beste Wahl ist aktuell in den Verwüsteten Landen zu angeln. Hier ist man durch das Portal in den Fraktionshauptstädten schnell am Ort des Geschehens.

Kommentar von RmESilence

Hab den Winterkalmar in Feralas (39/36) geangelt. Bin von Desolace aus geschwommen und als ich an Land in Feralas angekommen bin, hab ich die Angel ins Wasser geworfen. Ging relativ gut.

Hab auch in Tanaris in Steamwheedle am Steg geangelt (ca 68/32), ging auch ganz gut.

EDIT: Am Steg in Tanaris grad in 2 Stunden rund 25 - 30 Kalmare geangelt. 14 - 16 Uhr. +100er Köder und Angeln mit 225 begonnen.

Kommentar von Sweepy

Ab (spätestens) heute gibt's wieder Winterkalmar. Hab gerade einen Stack in Tanaris geangelt.

I'm catching Winter Squid today (as of 25th september 2006)

Kommentar von TehDang

Good rogue buff since it stacks with all potions & other consumable buffs for rogues.

Kommentar von gandy

Does anyone know what level should I be to catch one? I can fish there, but I never could catch one.

Kommentar von 30835

I have just this second caught a winter squid in Tanaris.
3rd Of April 2007. (Unless of course April is classed as a winter month)

I too assumed these were winter catches.

@Gandy i was level 227 With +95 fishing buffs

Kommentar von Talimar

I just caught 13 of these, so much for winter only hehe

Kommentar von 35664

i got few hundred of them in bank. theres a good thing to store these if you get the chance. me and my few buddies went fishin all day (December 20) and i got quite a load of this great seafood. rogue and hunter energy food :) when cooked it gives you 10 agility. best "well fed" food for rogues at all levels.

I've been catching them all day today (04 Jan) at steamwheedle port in Tanaris.

Base skill of 225, with a +25 rod and a +100 lure (350 total)

Kommentar von 30351

Anyone know if this applies to Oceanic servers or is it reversed? Trying to catch some of these today and not seen a one.......

Kommentar von 122756

On the US servers, you can catch Winter Squid from Sept 23 until March 20. (between fall and spring equinoxes).

If you try on an Oceanic server during that timeframe and you catch Summer Bass instead... well, then it's reversed for you guys.

Kommentar von 64664

I'm still using this fish' recipe to get level up my cooking untill I can make Sandworm meat.
Although they go for about 30g on the AH per stack, it's considered cheaper then actually level up fishing just to get hundreds of 'em.

Kommentar von Tloloc

If you want to spend you money go ahead, personally I could take the 8 hrs to get fishing to 300.

Kommentar von Arcmon

This locator for winter squid is bad! Been here 3 times, and not once have I seen any, anywhere near the listed areas.

Kommentar von remotettl

in night fishing rate ir terrible.
better do it when its day outside. :D

3 hours in azshara... none of them.
1 hour in tanaris - none of these. cant catch blue rawfish too.
kinda freaks me out!

Kommentar von skans

I found about 9 out of a total of 50 catches in the Hinterlands at the Horde village just at the end of the pier.

Kommentar von 166882

I was just in Feralas, fishing in the river near the Forgotten coast, the little one with the big waterfall and bridge, and in about 30 casts, I had already gotten six of these. (January 25th)

Fishing In Azshara - Winter Squid

After combing the bay for fishing spots I discovered that these fish are in the open water. Just cast into any part of the water. I fished for about 45 min and caught 3 Winter Squid. You don't need to go far out for them, and the closer you are to shore the lower the fishing skill required to fish (less lost fish).

I came to Azshara for 2 fish, Winter Squid and Large Raw Mightfish. In the time I mentioned above none of my catch were Large Raw Mightfish (which has a lower drop rate):

Winter Squid -------------10% drop rate (reagent for Grilled Squid ----- buff bonus - +10 Agility for 10 min)
Large Raw Mightfish -- 5% drop rate (reagent for Mightfish Steak - buff bonus - +10 Stamina for 10 min)

Purpose in Azshara: Level cooking and fishing at the same time catching the above mentioned fishes. Both the level of the fishing skill required and the level of cooking required for the recipies are high and as near as I can see to Master Angler and Master Chef.

Kommentar von Thoric

If the above drop rates are true, i'd suggest going to Feralas for these. I'm getting about a 40% droprate right off the coast at Feathermoon Stronghold.

Kommentar von 208249

I fished for 20 minutes in Jaguero Isle, Stranglethorn Vale and caught 7 Winter Squid. Seems pretty alright.

Kommentar von Myriell

are these to be fished from schools?

Kommentar von 566020

I'm fishing right now and getting them without going into schools, so no you don't have to fish them in schools.

Kommentar von 311350

Don't let the level change of the zone fool you; you can still find Winter Squid here. I went out into the Bay of Storms proper (used a water walking potion to really get away from the shore) and got it on my second cast at 1:35am server time.

Kommentar von 376468

Just fished it up on second cast in Thousand Needles.

Kommentar von 718705

I can confirm that oceanic servers follow the US season system and DO NOT operate in reverse, having fished up this item in the Australian Summer (US Winter).

Kommentar von 758159

Excellent rate off the coast of Blasted Lands. Fished for 20 min. and got 5 of these. They get good coin in the AH, as the recipe these are for yeilds an agility buff (Edited to correct zone).

Kommentar von 790354

is azshara still where you farm winter squid?

Kommentar von 711681

Caught in Bay of Storms on third cast today.

Also catching the darkclaw lobsters.

Kommentar von 795648

I fished for like half an hour at Jaguero Isle with no luck. I then read that the part of the island you fish on makes a difference, so I moved to the southern tip of the island and caught a Winter Squid on my second cast.

Kommentar von 597835

Azshara, all the out at the farthest point (south) on the little bumpy pieces of land. Best catch rate that I saw, everywhere else had to many other random fishes and boxes. Mostly I got the Darkclaw Lobsters, but the ratio was still decent. By the time I had a stack of the squid I had 2 1/2 stacks of the Lobster, and 14 clams (which a couple gave pearls for opening)

Kommentar von 801450

fishing these in azshara at the cord's 67.7 by 61.6 if you don't have cord's then it off of the long narrow island in the bay of storms that's s.e. of bilgewater harbor i have a fishing skill of 305 and still have to use a lure to get a decent catch rate 23 squid 25 lobsters 5 eels large mightfish, and clams and yes they are only catchable from Sept 21st to march 20th

Please check the times and date of the Spring and Fall Equinox to discover when you may be able to fish up Raw Summer Bass and Winter Squid

For 2011, the date/time of the Spring Equinox is March 20th 23:21 UTC time... which is not GMT.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equinox
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC

It is an astronomical event--which happens at a particular time and date. It is not a calendar event.

Edit: this does not mean Blizzard coded it that way. but it would explain why it hasn't been caught yet.
In Windows, there is a Time Zone setting for (UTC) Coordinated Universal Time. If you are so inclined to cast at the exact time of the equinox. :)
I may, just for .... and giggles.

Kommentar von Dreadmight

March 21, 11 am PST
Just started working on the Limnologist, went to fish in the Bay of Storms for the squid. I'm catching a decent rate of Summer Bass, but no squid. Looks like poor timing on my part. Gonna fish in other areas and see if I find any.

Kommentar von ClasscMalcontent

Credit to El's Extreme Anglin guide for the exact information.

Raw Summer Bass are available Spring and Summer. (Late-March to Mid-September check year for exact dates.)
Winter Squid are available Fall and Winter. (Late-September to Mid-March check year for exact dates.)

I can confirm the highest catch rates are 12:00 - 18:00 (Noon to 6PM). Now, if only I had caught a Winter Squid on my main and not my alt before the season ended. /facepalm

The Oceanographer achievement can now be completed if you caught the Winter Squid in the Fall/Winter and now the Raw Summer Bass in the Spring/Summer.

Important Note: I hope El's doing well. For now El's Anglin is only available on web archive websites. Best wishes El.
Update: There is a resurrected version at El's Anglin Reborn. Apparently after El stopped playing this group has pulled most of the content and is now maintaining it as an active copy of the information.

Kommentar von 342617

www.elsanglin.com

can only be fished in winter /cry

Kommentar von Elfgar

I can confirm that this final Oceanography specimen needed by me was not catchable today in the prime area in the center of Bay of Storms with 300 casts using 665 fishing skill between 1200 and 1800 loc fished in radius from 47.4 54.6 disappointing, but I had to test it.

Kommentar von kenshinn

Nothings been dropping there lately, other than standard fishing drops. Ever since the patch it seems. Even the Darkclaw lobster doesn't come up anymore.

Kommentar von 780813

Spring started on March 21st. This has nothing to do with the patch. I suggest you read at least ONE of the green posts above where people have repeatedly stated that this "fish" is only available during fall and winter, meaning from Sepember 21st till March 20th.

It has NOTHING to do with Patch 4.1

Kommentar von 434395

Actually, from other posts and my own experience it does in fact seem that fish like Großer roher Machtfisch and Dunkelklauenhummer are no longer catchable from Azshara's waters as of 4.1. Reason would suggest squid aren't either, but we won't know for sure until September.

This change is probably a delayed reaction to the zone itself being remade to levels 8-20, as level-appropriate fish can now be caught here instead (Rohe Glitschhautmakrele, Roher Regenbogenflossenthunfisch, and Öliges Schwarzmaul).

If you are coming to Azshara for squid or any of the other fish that used to be catchable there, go fish off the coasts of Sümpfe des Elends or Verwüstete Lande instead.

Edit: According to a post on El's Extreme Angling, the old Azshara fish are still catchable around the Ruins of Arkkoran (Northeast area of the Bay of Storms).

Kommentar von 824950

Oh dear - rarely does a post make me desperate to reply, but you managed it. Can I politely suggest that you read what you reply to first and confirm your facts before making an such arrogant and wrong statements?

The green posta above that you refer to say that Winter Squid CAN be caught in May, not fall and winter as you say. Also, the poster is correct, Bay of Storms is now dropping no special fish, including those that used to drop all year. All you get now are Oily Blackmouth etc.

Kommentar von 697659

Is there a second source for the Winter Squid being catchable in May? I've been trying for 30 minutes and haven't found it yet, so I did some extra research and so far every single source of information doesn't even hint at this fish being catchable outside of the already overstated equinoxes.

Edit: Looking at the Summer Bass thread they indicate all over it that you can catch the Winter Squid even in May, but so far after many tries at different times of day, I'm still unsuccessful, so until someone provides more valid, less irrelevant information, then I'm declaring it's uncatchable until September. And please stop with the vague comments, it wastes a lot player's time.

Kommentar von 497444

Edit: According to a post on El's Extreme Angling, the old Azshara fish are still catchable around the Ruins of Arkkoran (Northeast area of the Bay of Storms).

Can confirm this is not the case, as of May 18/11 on 4.1. Tried north and south side of ruins, the basic low level fish only are here.

Kommentar von 513857

I apologize for hijacking your post, but it is for a good reason.

To those of you fishing for hours upon hours in Azshara to catch this fish, stop now. Since the Cataclysm expansion came out, Azshara was changed to a low level zone, and consequently, fishing in the area is now low level. Darkclaw Lobster, Summer Bass, Winter Squid, and Large Mightfish can no longer be fished here.
The Blasted Lands is now a good area, or any other level 50ish area.

Happy angling!

Kommentar von kalaa

"Raw Summer Bass and Winter Squid are seasonal fish. The catch changes at the September and March equinoxes. This means one can be caught in Winter, one in Summer. There is no way to catch Raw Summer Bass in Winter, or Winter Squid in Summer - except to wait a few months"

Kommentar von Skullord

just made a ticket about this fish and i got simply answer all who didnt get this fish on time need to wait till November :P

Kommentar von Rmon

Winter Squid only drops from September untill March. Got confirmation from GM. It can be catched in 20-30 lvl areas. Thats what he told me.

Kommentar von toppjubei

Just spent 30 mins fishing in Swamp of Sorrows on Sept 1st and no Winter Squid showed up.

EDIT: This will be fishable from September 21st, first day of Fall/Autumn in the US (as opposed to the 1st in some countries.)

Kommentar von 815686

I fished in Azshara for a while, and to no avail.
So I tried fishing in Swamp of Sorrows (it is September 5th, 2011), and I do believe you would catch the winter squid there.
Because to great disappointment I fished up a Summer Bass :(

The sick thing is i only need the Winter Squid For The gong. OCEANOGRAPHER. Bummer.

Kommentar von Jevist

Can't you people read? It's been mentioned years ago in this exact same comment thread that it can only be obtained during winter months.

Kommentar von 125795

This fish should now be available again. You can fish this in the fall/winter.

Kommentar von 863853

As of 4.2 cataclysm updated:

Not sure which person is right about the exact date when you can catch Summer Bass and Winter Squid, but as of now, on Sep 14, 2011 at 9:06pm server time, I caught a summer bass and no winter squids on the coast of blasted lands at 65,84. IMHO, this is the best spot if you're hearthed to either Org/SW or Dal (there are ports to Org/SW in dal, all other ports in dal are gone) because you can just use the portal to blasted lands in Org (not sure about SW but I'm guessing they have that too). On a very important side note, AZSHARA IS NO LONGER A PLACE TO FISH FOR THESE. It is a lower level place now and if you try to fish there for summer bass/winter squid like I did, it will only end in frustration. Back to the summer bass/winter squid one person says it's sept, another oct, another nov for the winter squid. I saw one post of a person claiming that you cannot catch them at the same time. I'm not sure which one is true, but according to elsanglin.com, summer bass can only be caught between March (Spring) and September (Autumn/Fall) equinox (approximately 20 March to 22 September), and winter squid can only be caught between September (Autumn/Fall) and March (Spring) equinox (approximately 22 September to 20 March). Also, according to the same source, you CANNOT catch them at the same time. You either have summer bass or winter squid available, but not both at the same time. They are available separately for a 6 month period. This source is probably more reliable than a random person's post, but then again I haven't tested it out personally so I don't know for sure.

Assuming the worst case scenario and the most likely answer, Sep 22 is the last day for you to catch summer bass and then it's winter squid until March. That means 9 days from the time I have posted this, YOU WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO CATCH SUMMER BASS. If you're working on the oceanographer achievement, YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MARCH NEXT YEAR TO GET IT. If all this is true and you are reading this, GET IT NOW BEFORE TIME EXPIRES. GO TO BLASTED LANDS AND FISH UP RAW SUMMER BASS NOW!

I hope this helps you and you read this in time to take advantage of this perfect time frame to get your achievement. I will continue to fish and update this as necessary in the event the dates and/or information are wrong. Winter squid is the last fish I need for my achievement! Wish me luck and good luck to all of you!

Also as a side note, if you're not on a US server, the summer bass/winter squid might be reversed for you, due to you being in a different part of the globe. In either case the fish may be switched, but the deadlines would be the same.

Kommentar von 884623

Winterkalmar is part of Ozeanograph achievement. It is a winter fish that only can be fished off the coast from September 23rd to March 20th. Since Azshara zone change, it would seem the winter squid is no longer available in Azshara.
Swamp of Sorrows, Blasted Lands or Tanaris all have decent fishing rates to catch the winter squid. Don't waste your time in Azshara the way I did. (Casted hundreds of times in Azshara with no luck, first cast in Swamp of Sorrows caught my winter squid). Results may vary. Good Luck!

Caught one yesterday, 9/25/11 at about 7:45am server time on Wyrmrest Accord. I fished for about half an hour off the dock in Surwich and didn't catch one, then moved down the coast a little way so I was out of town and just in Blasted Lands according to Titan & my minimap, and caught it within 5 casts.

Not sure if I was just unlucky or if you just can't catch this from town. Got lots of Lightning Eel and Sunscale/Whitescale salmon from the Surwich dock, and that was it.

Kommentar von flintam

Caught Winter Squid on southern coast of Verwüstete Lande, near Surwich. Only 2 fish and he came to me. Was the last needed to complete Ozeanograph achievement

Kommentar von 415566

I just caught Winterkalmar from Verwüstete Lande today for the Ozeanograph achievement. DO NOT try fishing in Azshara for this catch because it simply won't happen. I (like others) was foolish enough to try during off season AND the wrong zone. Save yourself the trouble and wait. Or fish arch nemesis Roher Sommerbarsch, which can be fished in the same zone.

Since no screenshots have been posted, I took the liberty to submit one of where I was at when I caught both Winterkalmar and the Roher Sommerbarsch. Not at the same time mind you. However... if one waited until the last few minutes of summer, right as the fall equinox was official.... I suppose one could catch both fish back to back, huh.. ?

Anyway, hope this helps.

Kommentar von philcolwill

If your after this fish for the Ozeanograph ( or for any reason come to think of it ), and your fishing in Azshara be mindful that the fishing tables changed since Cataclysm.

I would strongly suggest fishing in the Ruins of Arkkoran, if your after Winterkalmar, as its the only location that seems to have the Pre-Cata fish available. I personally fished @ 69.0 - 37.8 which worked for me.

if your fishing and catching the likes of Roher Tüpfelgelbschwanz or Roher Steinschuppenkabeljau your in the right place.

if your catching the likes of Rohe Glitschhautmakrele or Roher Regenbogenflossenthunfisch your probably in the wrong area .

Kommentar von 834319

Winterkalmar can be caught off the coast of Blasted Lands from approximately September 22 until approximately March 20 (check date of equinox) as this is Wow's official winter period. Was able to get mine off Surwich on the second cast with fully leveled 525 fishing skill. The summer can be used to catch Roher Sommerbarsch Wowhead suggests these are catchable in Azshara, but I tried for over an hour and came up with nothing.

Other fish from the same place were (10 casts)

7 x Dunkelklauenhummer
1 x Steinschuppenaal

After having trouble trying to get a squid in Azshara, I tried Swamp of Sorrows, coords: 88.95, 80.30 pointing just right of North. In less than 10 minutes I caught 19 Darkclaw Lobster, and 5 Squid, at 17:45 server time, on Friday the data of this post. I also had +165 fishing ( ) on top of my 525 fishing, for 690 fishing total.

Today I caught a Winterkalmar on the third cast while fishing off the dock outside Surwich in the Verwüstete Lande.

Blasted Lands -> first fish = BINGO!

Kommentar von Pypode

In just 30 minutes, 11:30pm-12:00am, I fished up 12 Winter Squid, near the farthest southern tip of Tanaris, just west of Land's End Beach, standing on a piece of wreck which was sticking up out of the water. Stunned me. Everything I read indicated day-time hours and rare catches. Also picked up 7 Raw Glossy Mightfish (if I got name right). I had tried Azshara first as suggested by a rating and got nothing. This might be a glitch but I was very happy to find it.

Went back this a.m. at 11.
Caught 9 Winter Squid - these Squid were caught within the first 15 minutes.
10 Firefin Snapper
11 Big-Mouth Clam: Zesty Clam Meat, one Iridescent Pearl
38 Raw Spotted Yellowtail
11 Stonescale Eel
13 Raw Glossy Mightfish
10 Raw Rockscale Cod
1 Box: Inlaid Mithril Cylinder

Another odd item about catching the same ocean fish in Tanaris' Dunemaul Compound pond, when I dove in to see how deep it is, no "breathing" warning popped up. By the way, it isn't deep.

I got it on the 7th cast in blasted land.
Go to Surwich stand on the right of the flight master (facing the sea) on the tip of the peer. (46,90)
I did it with fishing 477 +125 .

Make sure you fish in the sea. (dark water on the map)

Got the Oceanographer ach today by catching Winter Squid in The Blasted Lands. I got it at the beginning of the Red Reaches, where the 'slave murlocs' are walking around being harassed by nagas :) Got it on the 3rd catch, dont know if it was pure luck though. The time was 14.00 (daytime) on EU server. My coords were 74.7, 57.5. Good luck and happy farming:)

Winter Squid
Just caught my Winter Squid and bagged The Oceanographer at 51, 86 in The Red Reaches at the bottom of the Blasted Lands. 20 October 2011 on an Oceanic server 11:15 P.M server time.

Overall tally from 19 casts:
7 Large Raw Mightfish
7 Darkclaw Lobster
3 Stonescale Eel
1 Big-Mouth Clam
1 Winter Squid

Tight Lines to all!

P.S. Deathwing decided to help out while i was writing this by BBQing my fish AND my butt!

Had a very good drop rate on the docks at Fuselight by the Sea in Badlands. Looked like about every other catch was a Winter Squid.

I have spent hours and days trying to catch this Winter Squid in Azshara with no luck. I was in Swamp of Sorrow and thought I'd see if I had any luck there. Caught 2 in five minutes. Coord 11, 94.

Kommentar von Schon

Go to BLASTED LANDS!
(I searched everywhere for this Winter Squid, and I couldn't find a single one. I finally went to Blasted Lands and caught it on my 1st CAST !)

If you look at the map posted above for Blasted Lands; I got my Winter Squid directly EAST of the Dark Portal on the coast. (see where the 2 yellow dots are? go there!)

Kommentar von travisdead1

This wasn't made PERFECTLY clear to me. I caught a winter squid just now, off the coast of the Blasted Lands, it is Tuesday, October 25, 2011.

I thought the above posts were saying I could only catch the winter squid ON September 23. This is not true. It just has to be on or AFTER the Fall equinox, which was 23rd of September, this year, and BEFORE the Spring equinox, March 20 of 2012.

If fishing for this squid during 2012, you'll have to wait until September 22 or after and before the next spring equinox in 2013. Etc.

If you are catching lvl 5 fish Raw Rainbow Fin Albacore or Raw Slitherskin Mackerel in Azshara, then you need to move to another location, I fished just to the east of the Tower of Eldara at about (81, 32) and I caught one of these within about 5 minutes of the first cast.

At this very spot i altso caught Darkclaw Lobster.
and after about 20 casts, i also caught Large raw Mightfish..

(note for the Achi called The Oceanographer)

Kommentar von dythe

I fished this guy up on the coast of the Blasted Lands. Even though there are less nodes listed there than in Swamp of Sorrows, it's a lot easier to get to simply by using a Blasted Lands portal in any main city. Fished up the Winter Squid on about my fifth cast.

I have caught a few of these before outside Feathermoon Stronghold but after 1.3.0 (I think) they aren't caught there anymore.

im 300 in fishing now with +5 rod and I havent caught any since, im down to 2 grilled squid now... Hopefully someone finds where to catch them soon.

Edit : Just saw the seasonal note, now to find out what season we are in at the moment!

Just caught one now off Steemwheedle Port - rod was +5, bait +75 but fishing only 210ish. They're definitly not extinct!

just caught 5 tonight in the Bay of Storms in Azshara.

Edited, Sat Sep 24 03:13:55 2005

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Been fishing in Feathermoon and half the catch seems to be winter squid (with 240 fishing skill).

Anyone know where to get the grilled squid receipe?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

It's probably seasonal reading the tough luck on these posts, and maybe time-of-day sensitive. I started fishing in Tanaris only recently upon reaching lvl 40 and completing the artisan fishing quest (it's late October) and think I caught 4 or 5 while fishing for 10 Zesty clam meat (cooking quest), maybe a half hour give or take. Didn't note time of day, just took it for granted. Also caught maybe 6 stonescale eels which go for about a gold EACH. Needless to say, came back quite a few times, caught more stonescales, but no squid until tonight about 11pm EST (i think 8 server time), caught 8 squid over the next 30 minutes, but they stopped biting soon there after, and while I'm still catching many stonescales, no squid. But I'm only now paying attention and don't have it down to a science. Hope this helps...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I get lots of it in Hinterlands.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Haven't seen this ever. Started in Feb 2005, now May, and my fishing is 300. Also, never seen a lobster, or a Large Raw Mightfish.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Scroll down to read some really arrogant posts! Anyway, on April 9, 2007 I was able to catch a number of these off the docks in Steamwheedle Port, Tanaris.

As many of you are probably quick to surmise, April is not winter.

So much for "doing the research!" (again, scroll down, and you'll see what I'm talking about).

At the time, my fishing skill was around 280, including buffs for pole and lures.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I think it works out that in r/l if its winter then its winter in WoW, apart from that the name of the fish tells u the season....they can still be caught off the beaches at Feathermoon Feraras...

Kommentar von Allakhazam

There seems to be some debate on this fish on when it can be caught. There are two restrictions on catching it:
1) It can only be caught in winter. As soon as spring starts, you begin to catch Raw Summer Bass.
2) It can only be caught during the day. Meaning when the sun icon is in on the mini-map.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

not to worry, they're coming up pretty well still.. just fished 21 of em in Revantusk Village

Just a thought, if demand is constant throughout year could I have made a lot of money by stocking up in winter and selling at inflated prices during summer?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

you wonder about the intelligence of the human race sometimes when people are complaining in may that they cannot catch "winter" squid. The name is a big hint when to catch it guys.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I have fished all over. I have never - EVER caught a single squid. I have the recipe and I've never even seen them in the AH. I have the +20 pole, the +100 bait, almost 300 skill and still, never caught one. I think something is up with these.

Today is 1/4/09 and I got 4 of the squid at the pier in steamwheedle port Tanaris. Not very good catch rate.

I fish these squids with ease all over (Feralas, Tanaris, Hinterlands, etc...)
i wish they went for more at the AH =(
BTW i'm 300 Fishing and have Nat's fishing pole plus use the Aquatic fish attracter.

Is it because it's December in RL ? who knows ?

Looks like there is an overlap in the winter/summer seasons (aka spring).

I just pulled in 3 Summer Bass and a Winter Squid in the same location on Jaguero Isle.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

um... isnt it a bit obvious wut season we are in? i mean ... ur posts were in JUNE or MAY, and during that time people have caught SUMMER bass... just a thought

Kommentar von Allakhazam

the npc inside a hut at Steamwheedle Port sell the receipe.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

These are dropping again... I fished up 70 of them when I was farming Eels in the Bay of Storms in Azshara... >400 skill required for best catch rate

Kommentar von Allakhazam

"isnt it a bit obvious wut season we are in?" No, it's not because the season seems to change as my toon walks around the world. Oh, did you mean in RL? In that case NO, it's still not becasue for half of the world it is winter! USA != The World

This is one of the dumbest ideas for fishing ever. Lets nerf fishing more by adding fish that can only be caught half the year. It's not that seasonal fish bother me, it's that they are used to make a cooking recipe for +10 Agi vs. +10 Spirit for Summer Bass. Boo! Sorry melee classes, you want that extra dodge percetage, too bad, wait till December.

I cant seem to find an in-game calander, how do i know when its winter?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Yup, teh squid are out in full swing. 2 hours of fishing off the hinterlands coast netted me 54 of these, plus 30+ stonescale eels and 30+ firefins. Not a bad day of fishing. Now i just have to sell them for a high prce before ppl realize they will be here fora while.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I've caught plenty of these in Tanaris and it's supposed to be spring. So much for the winter thing.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

anyone catch it after 1.3.0?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The name is Winter squid. Blizzard said that they would have seasonal fish.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I've caught them, but it was during the winter.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I caught a dozen of these about a week ago in a one-day span, then maybe one or two since- all in Steamwheedle port.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

There seems to be a lot of speculation about when and where. Here's a few answers for those of you who can't seem to find the willpower to research.

1: Winter squid are only available in the winter.
2: It is strongly suggested that you have a fishing skill of at least 205 before attempting to catch winter squid.

And to answer those endless questions about when it is considered winter in-game, think of this:

World of Warcraft In-Game Events Calendar

The Feast of Winter Veil? That's in the winter. It is also in December. Question answered.

In the future, before spamming comments, please make some attempt to do a little research. Otherwise you just end up looking like a complete idiot to those of us who spend 3 minutes looking up all the necessary information.

There is no seasonal condition to catching these squid, chances improve with increased fishing skill.
I caught my first while leveling my fishing skill on the pier in troll's Revantusk Village/Hinterlands. Fishing skill was under 100, used basic fishing pole w/lure attachment. As skill increased past 100, chance to catch improved.
Good Luck :)

Kommentar von jfoobar

These are now catchable in classic at least as of this morning. I have been expecting this since there are so many comments from back in Vanilla days below indicating that they started being fished in late September.

I caught 7 on a 10-minute lure at about 6:10 AM server time this morning at Steamwheedle (275+100 fishing). During this 10 minutes, I did not catch a single summer bass, so I don't know if that means that there will be no overlap when both can be caught or not. Too small of a sample size.

Kommentar von swordstrike

I fished in Azshara for 1 hour with some light movement around the bay area. I did this fishing at 3pm to 4pm server time or so. This is what I fished up in that time with a little bit of travel time included. I included clam and box contents in the list (but didn't keep track of the containers just the contents)

Darkclaw lobster 76
Winter squid 46
large raw mightfish 9
raw spotted yellowtail 10
stonescale eel 5
7 pound lobster 1
zesty clam meat 17
solid blasting powder 1

This was done on Classic WoW on the Faerlina NA server

Kommentar von Topshelf

In response to an earlier post about fishing these in and around Steamweedle Port. This was my experience between the hours of 00:20 and 02:00 server time.

30mins. 300 skill +20

14 Glossy Mightfish
35 Spotted Yellowtail
10 Rockscale Cod
11 Firefin Snapper
14 Stonescale Eel

Then further south on Wavestrider Beach

30min. 300 skill +20

9 Glossy Mightfish
35 Spotted Yellowtail
13 Rockscale Cod
13 Firefin Snapper
12 Stonescale Eel

Maybe this is just anecdotal, but I have come to the conclusion that this area is NOT good for Winter Squid. I'm now heading for Bay of Storms.

Kommentar von jfoobar

Re: Bay of Strorms fishing:

If you are going to see Duke Hydro for something, by all means just fish from his island. However, if you are not going that far, the quickest way to get to the good fishing area, at least for Horde, seems to be to ride through the Ruins of El'Darath. There are several ways out onto the beach from there, the best possibly being on the northerly side of the ruins at about 40,48 or so. You can use this same path to get back as well if you do not want to burn your hearth when you are returning. If you are 60, you should be able to come and go with little to no aggro from the naga.

Here's the thing though. The map would have you believe that the entire beach is Bay of Storms but, at least for fishing, this is not actually the case. You need to get off the coast a little bit to one of the islands. The jetty at 52,49 or even the island near there that is very close to shore do not count. You can tell you are in the wrong spot if it lets you cast at 300 (or even 300+25) without telling you your fishing level is too low. If you fish from there, you are not getting the bonus droprate for winter squid (basically like fishing from Tanaris or the Hinterlands). If you have to apply a lure and are catching lots of lobsters and the blue mightfish (large raw) instead of the green (raw glossy), you are in the right place.

There is a small island out from the end of the jetty (52,49 or so) that is a short swim that I have been using and it seems to work well.

My experience on the Mankrik Classic Server on 10/9/2019

I used 2 x Aquadynamischer Fischanlocker and 10 x Helle Schmuckstücke
My pole was a Große Eisenangelrute +20 fishing (You get from Shellfish Traps in Desolace - 1% or so drop rate)

My fishing skill is 300, so I had 420 skill with Aquadynamischer Fischanlocker and 395 with Helle Schmuckstücke
I had a rate of around 12% "Your fish got away" messages (didn't have any with the Aquadynamischer Fischanlocker equipped)

I am alliance, and did this entire fishing session in Azshara during morning hours (around 7-9:30 am server time)
I fished entirely in Bay of Storms... (made sure I couldn't cast without the fishing lure beforehand - since the bay requires 330 to even cast)

My results:
46 Winterkalmar - 16.37%
2 Schwere Kiste ( 1 Robustes Sprengpulver and 1 Goblinraketentreibstoff )
4 Verstärkte verschlossene Truhe
27 Steinschuppenaal
129 Dunkelklauenhummer
1 7-pfündiger Hummer
19 Roher Tüpfelgelbschwanz
31 Großer roher Machtfisch
22 Großmaulmuschel ( 22 Scharfes Muschelfleisch , 1 Schwarze Perle , and 1 Goldene Perle )

Hope this helps! Good luck, and don't forget your beer!

Like Raw Nightfin, Winter Squid have certain time windows where their catch % goes up or becomes non-existent (minus Azshara, Bay of Storms being 24/7.

“ Winter Squid are seasonal, and can only be caught between the September (Autumn/Fall) and March (Spring) equinox (approximately 22 September to 20 March). Highest catch rate 12:00-18:00. Cannot be caught 00:00-06:00, except in the Bay of Storms area of Azshara. ”

Kommentar von Thaag

Maybe I'm seeing a pattern that isn't there, but...

Most of the time I go fishing for squid, during prime catch time in Bay of Storms, I average about 5-7 squid per ADFA. That is, until I start on the third stack. Around 45 squid in my bags, the rate goes WAY down, sometimes without catching even one per ADFA. I hearth, cook it up, send it to my squid-storage alt, go back, and the catch rate goes right back up.

Hope this helps others who might be frustrated.

Kommentar von BMHunterMain

searching this on the regular wowhead site, forwards you to the wow classic site/page... odd

anyway, i am fishing these these in a confirmed spot, at the right time, and in 120+ catches, no Winter Squid.

there was a Blue Post in September 2019 saying sesonal fish were bugged an uncatchable... i'd suspect that was never addresses

Just to kind of consolidate all the info available:

This is a seasonal catch; from 22 September to 20 March approximately
Azshara, Bay of Storms is the best place
12:00-18:00 is the best time for around 20~25% catch rate

425 total fishing skill required to avoid "Your fish got away."

I started to fish now 09:30 server time EU. (Season of Discovery)
I've caught 3 Winter Squid's in 10m.

Comments here and Youtube videos said they are only fishable after 12:00 ST.
Has this changed? Percantage? Before I spend hours and hours befire 12:00 if the droprate is terrible before that..
