The Gaffer jacks can be fished at 35.44 next to the quest giver Gubber plump where u get next quest to fish Darkshore groupers so 2 in 1 good luck

Commento di Thottbot

I leveled my fishing starting at 20 and running back to this guy every 5 points or so.

He was offering the quest somewhere between fishing skill 35 and 41.

Commento di Thottbot

I got them once every 4 catch on the south side at the far end of the harbor. It's an easy quick quest.

Commento di Thottbot

I started my lvl 15 mage with this quest at 100. Getting bait is my recommendation, for at least +50 fishing. I started out to the left of Glubber Blump.. farther down on the shore. Can be really found anywhere. For the next part, I went to Wellspring Lake close to Ashenvale(i believe this is the name) for Electropellors. At 115 or so, they come every 4th or so cast. It took me about 10 minutes to get a steady pattern of the drops, but dont worry.. it comes easier :).

Commento di Thottbot

so pretty much just fish like hell

Commento di Thottbot

Well, it works - getting fishing skill over 45 and logging out near quester.

Commento di Thottbot

its probably just a coincidence, but the only time I was ever able to catch these damn things was while I was fishing off a rock near the northern exit to the auberdine inn. Tried other places nothing, kept coming back here and every other catch was a gaffer. Anybody else try this spot?

Commento di Thottbot

For all those who are saying "It doesn't drop", it does.

I am using the FishingBuddy mod from ui.worldofwar.net and it keeps track of % drop rates of fish.

For the Gaffer Jack, it showed an overall drop rate of 11.3%, and I was fishing off the pier where the boat to/from Menethil comes in, and I started fishing there with a skill of 75, though most likely it could be lower as it didn't appear on it's own, but with other fish.

Commento di Thottbot

I got all 8 with in 12 min right under the peir.I started with my fishing around 40 something and add'd the lure bait = +25 and cought them pretty quick.

Commento di Thottbot

13 druid, 35 fishing skill, strong pole (+5), bauble (+25). By end: 60 skill, and a drop rate of 32% (8/25). Fished from southern end of pier near Menethil arrival area.

Commento di Thottbot

I wasn't able do do this til I did the Gubber Blump quest, maybe its a prerequisite? Had fishing level 38

Commento di Thottbot

Took the advice here and fished from the rock just outside the northern door of the inn. I caught:

7 Mackerel
4 Rainbow fin albacore
3 Oily blackmouth
4 Darkshore groupers

and

8 Gaffer Jacks

that makes a drop ratio of about two to one.

BTW. I was at lvl 75 by the time I started fishing

Commento di Thottbot

Every time I try fisshing near Auberdine I got the message "Your Fish Got Away".
I have Fisshing Skill of 30, Strong Fishing Pole (+5) and Fishing Lure (+25).
So Fishing Skill of 60 in total.
I tried to change location but the same message every time.
Does anyone know whats the problem?
I play on an EMU server.

Commento di Thottbot

I got this quest on my lvl 14 hunter. My fishing lvl was 30 and didn't need to log/relog to get the quest. I just went to Wizbang and saw a yellow ! over his head. I also only completed the first quest from both Gubber Blump and Wizbang, so I only had the Blump Family Fishing Pole with +3 fishing. Anyways, with the just the fishing pole it took me about a good half hour to complete the whole quest.

Commento di Thottbot

Since some people were saying you can only get this quest between certain fishing levels...I decided to see if I could get it. I am level 20 ne with a skill level of 75 for fishing. I went to this guy to get the quest, and I could get it. Since I'm a little high lvl for the quest though, there was NOT a yellow quest marker above his head, but once I talked to him I was able to get the quest if I wanted. Cheers!

Commento di Thottbot

I fished off the dock in Auberdine where the boat comes in from Menethil. Drop rate was terrible for first two Jacks, then changed to 1 drop about every 4-5 casts. Takes a bit, experience ok/hour...

Commento di Thottbot

This quest is almost not worth the effort. The only real good that came from doing it was that I fished my way from 30 something fishing skill to 80+. I tried several locations mentioned in previous comments, but I go all of my gaffer Jacks under the pier.

Commento di Thottbot

Level 19 and 20 Fishing -> No Quest
Tried logging out as per above poster, still no quest.

Checked every 5 fishing points until 45 fishing, no quest.

Logged out, logged back in, quest is there.

Something wierd about the logging in and out to be able to get the quest, but that definitely did it for me.

Commento di Thottbot

When in the inn, head north (Follow the arroow on the mini map) to you reach the water, ca. 10 meter. The drop rate for me was every 5 time at skill lvl 140. Happy fishing :)

Commento di Thottbot

Had skill of 36 and decided to take some advice from past posts, first idea was to travel to Darnassus. Had to set up a few auctions so yer. I got back and bugger me dead. The quest was available.

I read a post and decided to go to the far dock; straight out from land, caught to fish that weren't right so tried Wetlands dock. I got three there. I thought they could be caught with any type of fish but I caught them with Raw Rainbow Fin Albacore, Raw Slitherskin Maceral and a Darkshore Grouper. I got three with Darkshore Grouper.

I started at 10 skill, got to 36 to get quest & I'm now 75.

I've tried a new character. Lvl 14 NE Hunter with lvl 13 pet. Started fishing with skill at 1, got this quest at skill 35.

Took over an hour but got them all at Eastern dock. Fishing skill increased well.

Commento di Thottbot

After severall level raising fishing points
I reallized the quest is given out after you reach level 50 (base level, no baubles or lures) of fishing skill,

My 28 Druid raised from 13 - 40 and no quest then all the way to 51 and Yes he talks to me :)

Drunken gnome!

Thanks for Inputs!

Commento di Thottbot

Level 44 dwarf hunter with fishing temporarily maxed at 225. I got all 8 Gaffer Jacks in less than half an hour standing on the bigger of the two rocks just outside of the inn at the north end. I think that is a very good spot. Got a lot of nice, juicy groupers too!

Commento di Thottbot

You got to have 30 in fishing skill to get the quest, but you need luck to get all Gaffer Jacks quickly.

I read about a dranei how had to train for skill 150 to get it. That could be a rest of early problems for dranei to get various quest.

A good place to fish is outside the inn. If you stand on the right place you are even restig! :-)

Tips]
Rise your skill in cooking with all the extra fish. You can buy recipie for Slitherskin Mackerel close to Teldrassils FP and for Rainbow Fin Albacore by the fisher man who stands above the beach a short walk south of Auberdine

Commento di Thottbot

if you up your fishing skill somewhere easy (darnassus or the lake near dolanaar) you can have 30/35 (whichever gets the quest) by the time you get to auberdine.

buy a couple shiny baubles (or higher bait if you can) and try to get the +5 fishing pole from Nessa Shadowsong (near the path to darn. from the FP) and you'll have an even easier time.

it's a good quest to do at the same time as Gubber Blump's "The Family and the Fishing Pole." just stand near the inn and find the right place to be 'rested' and fishing and you're set.

Commento di Thottbot

Go to the tiny island just south of the Auberdine dock. You'll know you're on the right island when you see a campfire and a broken down house.

I fished on the western side of this island and retrieved all 8 gaffer jacks in less than 15 minutes.

Good luck! ^_^

Commento di Allakhazam

My level 15 druid had did The Family and the Fishing Pole, and I got her up to a 66 in fishing and he wouldn't give the quest to me. So I did what was suggested by others and ran to the end of the pier..when I came back he had it.

Commento di Allakhazam

actually if you fish on the shore right near the docks it goes pretty fast. about every 10 or so fish has the gaffer. fun way to get your fishing skills raised up.

Commento di Allakhazam

Druid Level 21 - fishing was at 17 when i started trying to find if i could get this quest. I would fish on the docks just after the name changed to the long wash. I went to see if i could get the quest at 20 fishing... nope, 25 nope, 30 nope... oh wait yes at 30 i could get it, it just doesnt have an ! above his head.

so fishing 30 and try talking to him even if he doesnt have an ! if you really want this quest, if it doest work then go out half way down the docks till it changes location name to the long wash and go talk to him again. I have the family fishing pole so it may be a requirement.

-hope that helps

Commento di Allakhazam

Was attempting this on new character and discovered the quest is not available until I had reach 30 actual fishing skill.

Commento di Allakhazam

This is going to sound ridiculous, but after fishing for the better part of an hour, I got my fishing to 75 and he still didn't have the quest. Then, the person I was fishing with ran out along the pier halfway to the boats and came back and he suddenly had the quest. Still didn't for me, so I did the same thing and sure enough, there it was... Might be worth a shot if you're having trouble getting the quest.

Commento di Allakhazam

My night elf druid has 31 fishing and he won't offer me the quest either.

Commento di Allakhazam

In order to get this quest you must have completed The Family and the Fishing Pole. I had 61 Fishing and couldn't get the quest. Then I turned in 6 Groupers to Blump and Wizbang had the quest.

Commento di Allakhazam

I could do his other quest (Buzzbox 827), but this one was never a possibility for me to do.

Edited, Sat Jan 15 07:59:19 2005

Commento di Allakhazam

I checked at 30--nothing. Then at 40, then at 50. Finally I checked after reaching 61 and it was there!

Commento di Allakhazam

I too fished off the far end of the dock, took a little while to get 8 of them. A side benefit is you can also catch Oiley Blackmouths, which are regents, to underwater breathing potions if you have Alchemy

Commento di Allakhazam

Took me 9 min and my fishing skill went from 122 to 132. Just do this right off the dock there.

Commento di Allakhazam

Much hate for fishing quests.

To get the gaffer jacks, fish off the coast of Auberdine (I did my fishing off the docks, near the boat to Menethil). The gaffer jack will be fished up along with your regular catch. Be prepared to spend quite a bit of time getting the gaffer jacks... and note that completing this quest leads to ANOTHER fishing quest...

*groan*

Commento di Allakhazam

Only got 2 GJs after 40 catches - but then I got lots of fish to improve my cooking and feed my cat- for hunters fishing quests are great if You have pets that eat fish

Commento di Allakhazam

Started with fishing 50 because I did that ealier for training. Got all 8 off Menethil boat dock in less than 10 minutes (one bauble).

Commento di Allakhazam

With a 300 (+97) fishing skill this quest took 15 minutes to complete. The last Gaffer took the longest to get- about 5 minutes. I fished off the docks right there near the quest giver.

Brimlin 60 Dwarf Priest, Lightbringer

Commento di Allakhazam

Well, my dwarf tried to get this quest (she is at 30 fishing skill) but cannot seem to get it. Any ideas?

Commento di Allakhazam

the key is to fish from a different spot on the pier each time. whether you get a gaffer jack or not or even hook no fish move. and I don't mean 2 steps to the left. move some ways from your last position. when I did this the jacks looted faster (except that last damn one).

Commento di Allakhazam

Either the requirements of having to complete The Family and/or The Fishing Pole to get this quest are just plain wrong, or I caught a glitch of some sort, or it was affected in a patch. This was the second quest I got on the mainland, right after leaving Teldrassil, the first being Washed Ashore from the woman at the landing site. I'm about to look up now how to get them.

Commento di Allakhazam

My fishing was at 40 when I got the quest. I bought a Baubel and it only took me about 10 minutes to get all Gafferjacks.

Nice easy quest if you ask me.

Edited, Fri Feb 25 04:55:37 2005

Commento di Allakhazam

OK, I have fishing of 0 or 1 or whatever the default is.

I'm going to check back with Whizzbang at 20, 25, 30 35 and 40.

I'll let you folks know what the number is for sure.

Commento di Allakhazam

Finally finished the quest! Took 35 minutes in total to complete, last one was a pain to get!
My fishing level went from 71 to 93 so all around pleased ;)

Commento di Allakhazam

Got 8 of these in about 12 minutes. Fished right off the pier.

My fishing was about 80, and I was using the fishing + 3 pole given by Gubber Blump in the "The Family and the Fishing Pole" quest and a nightcrawler (+50 fishing). The nightcrawler ran out after catching 6, and I got the other two within 2 minutes..I probably didn't need the nightcrawler in the first place.

Commento di Allakhazam

I'm a level 14 hunter and i'm struggling to get the Gaffer Jacks. My fishing's at 71, might try some of these comments and move to different places on the pier.

Commento di Ssateneth

Drop rate is abysmally low. 71 fish caught to get 8 gaffer jacks. 11% drop rate. 1.13.2

Commento di Daisieheart

Looks like you need a fishing skill of at least 35.
I did this on a character around level 20 not realizing it was there and having done The Family And The Fishing Pole, later on an alt i was unable to obtain this quest and couldn't figure out why, thinking i needed to finish the above mentioned quest and that not being the case i then thought maybe i needed to finish all of the Buzzbox quests i was confused to find out that this was NOT the case. Eventually i think i saw someone mention you needed a certain fishing skill level and i tested it out and this does appear to be the case. Hopefully this information can help someone else who is also confused to save time and frustration.

Commento di Fearlessfear

See second screenshot for the best droprate. Its on the rock north of the inn

Commento di Muskarcina

When I got fishing skill 60, the drop rate improved.
I quickly completed the quest.
I fished near npc Wizbang Cranktoggle.

Commento di Veradas

I recommend grabbing the quest "The Family and the Fishing Pole" as you will catch Darkshore Groupers here too. I hit the same spot also, exact coords 30.0,47.8, which is directly in front of the camp fire near the ruined beach house. I spent 15 minutes fishing starting at 53 skill and went up to the limit of 75. Caught a total of 35 fish, which for me breaks down into 16 Rainbow Fin Albacore, 8 Slitherskin Mackerel, 8 Gaffer Jacks, 7 Darkshore Groupers, and 4 Oily Blackmouths. Hint: If you find that you start having misses and timeouts, pivot your toon's feet in an arc from the shore to change angles of the direction of your casting. That seems to help for me. Oh, forgot to mention, I used a baubule.

Commento di Kurotan

You can catch them basically right in front of the questgiver. Confirmed.

Commento di Flae

Took me exactly 50 casts to get the jacks.
I was 97 fishing skill, finished at 117.

I hate fishing IRL, I hate it in WoW...

Commento di Etreum

I tried from different spots, from the shoreline, to the big rock, and all the way to the end of the peer. It really makes no difference. It is purely random.

Went from 50 to 113 fishing doing this quest. Follow-up is even worse.

Bring 8 Gaffer Jacks to Wizbang Cranktoggle in Auberdine.

	Gaffer Jack (8)

Descrizione

I came to Auberdine because of the quiet. I want to invent my inventions where it's quiet, because after a night of drinking I don't like all the noise of Ironforge!

So I took a ship to Auberdine and had a little too much to drink on the way. I dropped my box of gaffer jacks overboard! I need my gaffer jacks!

I don't know exactly where I dropped them, but if you fish for them in the ocean you might get lucky...
