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

Commento di TehDang

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

Commento di gandy

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

Commento di 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

Commento di Talimar

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

Commento di 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)

Commento di 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.......

Commento di 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.

Commento di 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.

Commento di Tloloc

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

Commento di Arcmon

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

Commento di 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!

Commento di 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.

Commento di 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.

Commento di 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.

Commento di 208249

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

Commento di Myriell

are these to be fished from schools?

Commento di 566020

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

Commento di 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.

Commento di 376468

Just fished it up on second cast in Thousand Needles.

Commento di 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).

Commento di 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).

Commento di 790354

is azshara still where you farm winter squid?

Commento di 711681

Caught in Bay of Storms on third cast today.

Also catching the darkclaw lobsters.

Commento di 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.

Commento di 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)

Commento di 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.

Commento di 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.

Commento di 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.

can only be fished in winter /cry

Commento di 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.

Commento di 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.

Commento di 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

Commento di 434395

Actually, from other posts and my own experience it does in fact seem that fish like Pescetoro Gigante and Aragosta Chelascura 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 (Sgombro Squamalesta, Alborella Iridata, and Boccanera Oleoso).

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 Palude del Dolore or Terre Devastate 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).

Commento di 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.

Commento di 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.

Commento di 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.

Commento di 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!

Commento di 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"

Commento di 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

Commento di 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.

Commento di 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.)

Commento di 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 :(

Commento di 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.

Commento di 125795

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

Commento di 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.

Commento di 884623

Calamaro Invernale is part of Oceanografo 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.

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

Commento di 415566

I just caught Calamaro Invernale from Terre Devastate today for the Oceanografo 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 Branzino Estivo, 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 Calamaro Invernale and the Branzino Estivo. 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.

Commento di philcolwill

If your after this fish for the Oceanografo ( 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 Calamaro Invernale, 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 Pinnagialla Maculato or Merluzzo Squamadura your in the right place.

if your catching the likes of Sgombro Squamalesta or Alborella Iridata your probably in the wrong area .

Commento di 834319

Calamaro Invernale 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 Branzino Estivo 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 Aragosta Chelascura
1 x Anguilla Squamapietra
1 x Heavy Crate (containing Polvere Esplosiva Solida)

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

Tight Lines to all!

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

Commento di AnarchParadigm

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.

Commento di Kristree

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.

Commento di 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!)

Commento di 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.

Commento di 769282

Fish about 2 hours in Bay of Storms (Azshara)..no Winter Squid -.-' went to Ruins of Arkkoran (Azshara again) and caught my squid at 2nd cast. So, Bay of Storms is really FAIL.

Caught Winter Squid today at tanaris ( 60.38.)

Commento di ulexite

Confirmed on Oct 22, 2011, earlier generation fish may still be caught at the Ruins of Arkkoran, approx 70, 36. Five casts and saw 5 different species including Winter Squid and Raw Glossy Mightfish. Completed Oceanographer achievement.

Commento di 418351

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.

Commento di 908569

Fished in Azshara for over 20min, only caught Raw Rainbows, Oilys, and Slitherskin.

Literally my 10th cast.
Good Luck!

Caught on five out of seven casts in the bottom right corner of the map in the swamp of sorrows on the little island. Sorry I dont have coords, the 4.3 patch came out this afternoon and the add-ons aren't working properly yet. I will edit this post in a day or two with coordinates.

i caugt winter squid in the second cast, of the coast in Blasted Lands, at Surwich. Date: 30th of january
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)

Commento di 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.

Looking it up myself: "Hun, the first comment here reads that it is only fishable from September 23 to March 20th..."

Commento di jerrik666

The fall equinox for 2011 was on September 23. For 2012, it begins on September 22. So today November 22, 2012 at 6:15 pm PST, I tried fishing in Swamp of Sorrows and got a Raw Summer Bass. So apparently, Blizzard has it hard coded for the Fall Equinox to begin on September 23, rather than using proper astronomical data.

Caught Winter Squid today Sept 23. Went to Blasted lands and fished off the dock in Surwich and caught no squid. Stood on the tip of the boat and caught different fish from what I was catching from the dock. After about 5th cast, caught the Squid.

Commento di Congelatore

I caught my Winter Squid this morning, September 23, 2012 at 9:19 CST (UT-6) while fishing on the Suriwch docks. It took 23 casts.

You do not need to fish this out of schools or wreckage. This is an open water catch.

Has anyone caught the Winter Squid in 3.3.5?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Can you catch more than one of them?

Firefin snapper: 4
Raw rockscale cod: 2

My lvl is 225 with bright bobbles and stong fishing pole. Without the lure all I managed to catch is junk lol

Commento di 1047167

From the achievement post regarding 'The Oceanographer', obeefy posted the following information:

Important note: Sorry to spoil the funz in getting an achievement. But the Winter Squid and the Raw Summer Bass are seasonal fish. Which are equivalent to each other. Summer bass can only be caught from the end of March until the late September. September-> March = Winter Squid.

I am glad I checked that out because I had been fishing for a while this week looking for the Winter Squid. Now I know why I couldn't get it lol

Hope this helps someone else after the achievement.

Commento di onelotus

Just caught half a dozen in Blasted Lands in... Surwich off the dock by the FP on ally side. At 250 fishing skill attached an Aquadynamic bobber thing. Took about 8 minutes but I was reading facebook in there too. This is after 5.4 dropped so its still there, just 6 months of Winter Squid and 6 months of Summer Bass. So be aware of time of year, Sept til March and March til Sept. and having a lure. Its October, pumpkins all over, and heckish to get here at lvl 54 but a nice place suitable to Halloween.

Commento di Gix3241

Caught 2 of them at the Darkmoon Faire today in the short process of doing the fishing quest. Must be new with patch 5.4 and should be added to the list of locations.

Commento di 997437

Winter Squid easy to catch in Blasted Lands loc 75,58, small beach area. Just fish it up without any school. I got it by 4th trying :) Of corse in the winter time november-march.

Commento di Keldesh

UPDATE: This was posted during PATCH 5.4.2. Blizzard has since changed some of the fishing around the DMF. So this may no longer be the case.

You can catch Calamaro Invernale while fishing in the Darkmoon Island. It appears though being able to catch this fish is based entirely on your fishing skill. On Darkmoon Island the fish you catch is based on your skill. For example, at 525-600 level you will be catching Mist fish.

El's page says the tier they are common in is 250-300. However, the character I was fishing these up with was 198 - 225 in skill with no buff, and I was getting a lot of them. Was also fishing these up in open water (not pools).

Commento di Grindsallot

I was on a level 32 hunter, Zul'jin, on the Southern tip of Jaguero Island, The Cape of Stranglethorn, there were no Inseguitore di Jaguero to bother me at my position while I was fishing. This was open water fishing, no schools at all, I fished for approximately 45 minutes, started with a fishing skill of 180, using Canna da Pesca Robusta and Esche Brillanti, ended up with a fishing skill of 284/300. Had to run to Booty Bay at 225 to get training, but it's close by so not a big loss of time.

I was leveling fishing and cooking, my cook book had 2 orange recipes, neither good till level 35, Pinnagialla Maculato al Vapore and Calamaro alla Griglia and this particular area was listed for both types of fish, practical because of my fishing skill and low level toon, the only alternative for squid is The Swamps of Sorrow where I would have to contend with level 55's :)

In my 45 minutes I caught a total of 243 items, absolutely no junk or missed casts.

Calamaro Invernale x 40
Pinnagialla Maculato x 97
Merluzzo Squamadura x 31
Barracuda Arcobaleno x 24
Pescetoro Lucente x 15
Anguilla Squamapietra x 20
Bivalve Gigante x 15 which yielded Mollusco Gustoso x 15, Perla Iridescente x 01, and Perla Nera x 01
Cassa Pesante x 01 which contained a Rivestimento di Mithril x 01

On a happy note, totally worked my cooking skill from 241/300 to 290/300 the Pinnagialla Maculato greyed out at 275, and the Calamaro Invernale greyed out at 290.

Hope this is helpful.

Just caught mine today. Open water in blasted lands, near broken ships. it doesn't have to be from pools.

Commento di 104743

I caught maybe 6-7 of these in 30 minutes. Quite honestly, it might be better to buy them on the auction house if you can, because once I hit cooking lvl 250, I was able to learn 4 new recipes, two of which require bear flank. At least on my server, these seemed to drop more reliably and were easier to find on the auction house. Just a thought.

Commento di Softcore

2018 Edit : The Fall Equinox Starts September 22nd @ 9:54PM EST!

The Fall Equinox for 2016 starts Thursday, September 22, 2016 at 10:21 AM EDT. I assume the squid should be fish able after or around this date. Plan on testing it when the time comes and ill post and edit here. Happy fishing all!

Edit: This post, originally posted in 2015, has been updated for 2016. Its almost that time of the year again(Fall, my birthday :) )! Make sure you catch your Summer Bass before the time mentioned above!

Swamp of Sorrows anywhere along the coast. However I've found this particular area most beneficial.
>Town: Bogpaddle (Northeast corner area.)
>See Frankie Goodtimes <food & drink> vendor in the local bar. Excluding the +2 gold drink, take a mixture of strong alcoholic beverages to a total of 150 drinks (It really depends on how long you want to fish.)
>Go to the Goblin beach party area. I like the point just to the right of the party to fish and I always light a cooking fire next to me. Without the cooking fire my catch rate of Winter Squid drops. Squid are attracted to light.

>Day & Time: Friday,11:45 PM to 12:35 AM
Casting Time: 50 minutes.
Fishing Skill 700
+ 30 Fishing pole
+ 5 Fishing hat
+ 2 Fishing enchant
+100 Aquadynamic fish attractor
+ Keeping completely smashed at all times. Don't puke - it seems to screw with the area your fishing. Time your drinks to keep completely smashed and totally eye blurred. There seems to be a tie in to the completely eye blurred state and catching a Winter Squid. The balance of blur to puke can be a fine one.

>My catch consisted of:
18 Winter Squid
81 Darkclaw Lobster
37 Stonescale Eel
33 Large Raw Mightfish
22 Big-Mouth Clam
5 Spotted Yellowtail
1 Reinforced Locked Chest

The lower my inebriation the lower the strike chance of a Winter Squid became.

Commento di riotAlice

In case anyone is wondering, the timeframe (September to March) that the Winter Squid drops in seems to be the same between hemispheres. It's June and winter where I live and I play on an Oceanic server. I fished for a reasonable amount of time in Swamp of Sorrows and the squid didn't drop.

Commento di NessieMo

If you're after a Branzino Estivo to complete Oceanografo, don't waste your time - leave it until server reset tomorrow, Wednesday 21st March 2018.

After fifteen casts at fishing level 1200, I just caught a Calamaro Invernale.

On the plus side, if you haven't fished up a Calamaro Invernale yet, go grab one, or it will be another six months before you can complete Oceanografo!
