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

评论来自 TehDang

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

评论来自 gandy

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

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

评论来自 Talimar

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.

评论来自 Allakhazam

Just for general info, I caught a few today (March 19th).

评论来自 Allakhazam

Yeah I'm pulling up winter squid right now in Feralas.

评论来自 Allakhazam

So,basically everyone is saying these things just arent available.That sucks.As a rogue i was like,cool,AGI+ food,at last.I should've guessed.

评论来自 Allakhazam

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!

评论来自 Allakhazam

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

Edited, Sat Sep 24 03:13:55 2005

评论来自 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?

评论来自 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...

评论来自 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.

评论来自 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.

评论来自 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...

评论来自 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.

评论来自 Allakhazam

I just managed to catch both in the same fishing trip at Steamwheedle ?

Must be global warming

评论来自 Allakhazam

Just caught one January 1st, 2006.
Feathermoon 9:12 am
186 Skill, +75 Lure, +3 Pole
Not extinct.

评论来自 Allakhazam

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?

评论来自 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.

评论来自 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.

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 ?

Cooking recipe for this fish is sold by Gikkix (follow the link for details) in Tanaris for 1g 60s.

评论来自 Allakhazam

I've just caught 1 winter squid, the 09/04/2007.
It is NOT seasonal. I don't find April very "winter" like o.O?

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.

评论来自 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

评论来自 Allakhazam

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

评论来自 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

评论来自 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.

评论来自 Allakhazam

I've caught 30 of these near Feathermoon Stronghold...bout 2 hours time...definately still available...13 today...

Edited, Thu Mar 9 19:39:07 2006

评论来自 Allakhazam

Fished for about an hour... caught 43 Darkclaw Lobsters, 3 Spotted Yellowtails, 10 Summer Bass, 20 Large Raw Mightfish, 31 Stonescale Eels, and a couple of boxes. ZERO Winter Squid.

评论来自 Allakhazam

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

评论来自 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.

评论来自 Allakhazam

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

评论来自 Allakhazam

anyone catch it after 1.3.0?

评论来自 Allakhazam

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

评论来自 Allakhazam

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

评论来自 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.

评论来自 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.

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.

评论来自 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

评论来自 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.

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 水下诱鱼器 and 10 x 明亮的小珠
My pole was a 粗铁鱼竿 +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 水下诱鱼器 and 395 with 明亮的小珠
I had a rate of around 12% "Your fish got away" messages (didn't have any with the 水下诱鱼器 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 冬鱿鱼 - 16.37%
2 沉重的箱子 ( 1 实心炸药 and 1 地精火箭燃油 )
4 加固的宝箱
27 石鳞鳗
129 黑爪龙虾
1 7磅重的龙虾
19 新鲜的斑点黄尾鱼
31 新鲜的大鱼
22 巨型蚌壳 ( 22 美味的蚌肉 , 1 黑珍珠 , and 1 金珍珠 )

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. ”

I got the following from fishing Bay of Storms in Azshara, all open water fishing and 400 fishing skill:

1994 Total catches
Darkclaw Lobster : 890 / 44.6%
Winter Squid : 433 / 21.7%
Stonescale Eel : 219 / 11.0%
Big-mouth Clam : 199 / 10.0%
Large Mightfish : 173 / 8.7%
Spotted Yellowtail : 49 / 2.5%
Reinforced Locked Chest : 11 / 0.6%
Heavy Crate : 6 / 0.3%
Various rare fish : 14 / 0.9%

By rare fish I mean 7 pound lobsters, 12 pound lobsters, etc.

评论来自 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.

评论来自 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

评论来自 savagy

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."
Aquadynamic Fish Attractor with either Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000 or Big Iron Fishing Pole+Enchant Gloves: Fishing ( or Arcanite Fishing Pole in phase 4 if you have the patience to get it )

I'm fishing in Azshara at 0200 server time on Mach 19th and I'm 0 for 50. I think they might be gone now for the season.

Update: Winter Squid no longer drops on March 21st.

12:00-18:00 server time is 30% drop rate in Bay of Storms, Azshara, otherwise it is 10%.

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..
