Can anyone school me on how to fish?

PC using gamepad mode, I usually go by when my bobber gets dragged under as well as the vibration.

With the event, I can't keep track of my bobber, and the vibrations happen before it goes down too... as if a fish is nibbling but hasn't bit.

Is there an easier way?

    Get a mod or 4. They show you where the holes are and where the rares are. Plus they give you a screen flash of when to reel in.

    There are addons which will put a giant hook on your screen when it's time to reel it in...can't remember the name off the top of my head...but search for one, you'll find it!

    This is why I am going to wait until this weekend to dive into this event.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    First person can make fishing a lot easiet at times. Also your fishing rod will move significantly when a fish has taken a bite. Finally, if you have high quality sound you can actually fish with your ears with your eyes closed, however I've not tested this out in a large group to see if it's inhibited by a horde.

    It migh be worth fishing somewhere non-event related to begin with to get a feel for the mechanics, so you're well prepared for the madness of the intensive fishing session you've shown. Goodluck!

    Also, 'school' you on how to fish? Clever. :)

    I had never fished in game before today. Still found it really easy to finish this quest once I knew the tell. Just pay close attention to your fishing rod.

    Votan's Fisherman addon is great, otherwise 1st person is best.

    Worms (bait) , a fishing pole. A lake or water hole that has fish in it. Put bait on hook. Cast line into water. Wait. Pull out a fish!
    Don't wat the fish though! It might be tainted!
    Thats why "Organic" is the best solution!

    :D Thanks all, I ended up getting it all worked out. I ended up using Votans Fisherman to help me. Before that I couldn't stop reeling in when someone else's pole moved, at least not without switching to first person.

    Thinking about going for the Master Angler title now that I can properly catch fish :)
