My site is intended for all anglers. It's not just a guide for new players; it has many other resources that even veterans of fishing can find helpful.

Brand New Site is Live - http://www.esofishing.com

Features:

• Maps: detailing hole locations and water type
• Guide: teaches player how to fish
• Bait Reference Chart
• Rare Fish Charts
• Add-ons: that help with fishing
• Recipes: with "fish" ingredients
• and more...

Great work! Thanks for the guide.

Nice work! Great guide.

This is an awesome guide! I especially appreciate the maps with what type of water each fishing hole has.
When do you think you will have more of those maps?

DarthRupert

Well I have the next two days off so hopefully I can get more up. For anyone that was following it in my other thread, they know it's been far too long since I added any maps. Unfortunately I was an idiot and forgot to export my Harven map pins when switching to an SSD, so I basically lost every DC, AD, and EP completely marked maps. I think I have Alik'r, Khenarthi's Roost, Bleakrock, Stonefalls, and Deshaan maps marked, just have to convert them over the next 2 days.

I also might put up a map, with my Coldharbour circut and Cyrodiil ocean spots, temporarily untill I can complete those zones.

Really great guide OP, thank you very much for the intel:}

Appreciate the maps and info. Can't wait to put it to the test later.

Thank you for this. Great guide.

Sorry for my absence and lack of updating in the past months...but worry not!

I've added more maps and should have the rest up within the next 2 days.
I also finished work on the new site for my fishing info/guide. And finally got a proper URL to go with it.

Please let me know if you find any problems. And thanks for the support!

Bump.

Sorry but this is great, it has helped me alot.

I know not many fish and just want to grind and sell their stuff (leading to a new WoW) but if one looked this is a good site&guide for anyone who goes and buys the game to have fun.

DarthRupert

Update: Just added the Craglorn and Cyrodiil maps along with Wrothgar map and rare fish chart.
still working on Cyrodiil...Why does it have to be so annoying to map?!

Any chance of also adding high capacity bait harvesting locations to your fishing maps?

Alucardo

This is really nice! Thanks for putting in the time to collect information, create and update your site. I was thinking of making a Fisherman/provisioner alt in my downtime, so this will come in extremely useful.

Useful maps mate!

I was using them when fishing a few holes over the weekend & noticed ZOS must have changed a fish name.

Stonefalls/Foul water - Oilfish is now called Stinkfish.

@DarthRupert , this might be nice to add to your bait section at the least. There are some locations that are premium for gathering bait.

Insects are everywhere, but most plentiful in Rivenspire.
Sacred Leap Grotto in SE Grahtwood has rapidly spawning frogs, ideal for gathering guts quickly without running around. Pretty boring though .
For worms and crawlers, concentrations of zombies are best. Lion Guard Redoubt in Glenumbra and Vile Lab in Cold Harbor are among the best areas.

In the Fishing Advice section, you mention transferring Rare fish through the bank to get the fishing achievement on other characters. As of 2.1, the IC patch, it is no longer possible to bank rare fish. With the same patch, rare fish are now marked in achievements as soon as they are in inventory. There is no longer a "USE" option for them.

Fantastic guide!

Love the site you linked. I've been searching for something like this forever. Dont have addons on console, so this is perfect!

CapnPhoton

I am all for achievements, but I have been putting off fishing for the most part. This is a great guide.

Thanks for the suggestion. Had this section before, but wasn't done well, nor near complete. Completely forgot to come back to it after finishing other stuff. Actually started working on it a few hours ago and should be able to get a good section on the site sometime tomorrow...or I guess technically today for me lol. Trying to get at least the top 2 locations to grind for each bait, in each faction. Will be highlighting best locations overall.

Oh thanks for that IC patch info! Must have missed it when I read the notes.
A few other spots

• Alik'r Desert spot = best Gut location (Amazing find by @Sylance9)
  -> shown in her video guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNRzWiYihkc
• Rivenspire: Westmark Moore Dolmen = Crawlers
• Coldharbour: Vile Lab = Worms/Crawlers/some Guts
  
  
  edit: wasn't able to get as much work on the farming locations as I thought...feature postponed for now sorry
