Can we also have Goblin dynamite fishing?

The only game I liked fishing in was Black Desert, because they had fishing bot built in as native feature. You started fishing, and it collected fish until you told it to stop fishing. I left my game on over night fishing every night for 3 years lol
They also had a system where you got more money for your fish if you sold them far away from where you caught them, so my morning ritual was riding my fish from Grana on the west coast to Valencia on the east coast, good times.
There’s a quest?daily?WorldQuest? On Mechagon where you have a little fish vacuum, it was really fun and would be a cool way to fish 
Oh so you want me to die of alcohol poisoning 
I remember enjoying the fishing in Red Dead Redemption 2 almost as much as I enjoyed the “regular” gameplay. If only WoW could draw inspiration from a system like that.
Click on the bobber once you have a fish hooked, then use the WASD keys to pull in different directions, while keeping your eye on a gauge that shows how close the line is to breaking. Just spitballing here, but I’d love to see fishing in this game get a makeover.
Anyone who’s ever played Breath of Fire 3 and/or 4 has lamented at the lack of interaction with WoW’s fishing. I’d love the BoF system in WoW, but would settle for even the Stardew Valley system. The fishing event would need to be tweaked though as the added interactions would lower completion and response times for players trying to place for the rings.
I don’t like the idea of making fishing harder. As has been said, it’s relaxing. However, I would like fishing bonuses to noticeably matter IF you equip that gear.

I vaguely remember Potco fishing. It was more involved.
Also, literally so much in this game is outdated lol.

I have wanted a fishing net since BC when you got to use one in the Draenei start zone to get Red Snappers.

Surprised that fishing from fishing pools doesn’t offer experience while leveling. Other gathering professions do, why not fishing 
Fishing minibosses or creatures fished up from pools might be a nice addition. Fish em up and get fishing related items.

ESO has an interesting take on fishing. Firstly you have to have certain types of bait to fishing particular pools, and the bait is collected in various ways. And then you have to fillet the fish to make it useable. Sometimes when you do that you get a very rare fish egg which is the ingredient for an equally rare cooking recipe that makes an item that gives players a limited time 10% experience buff. Naturally, its quite a popular food.
If WoW had something like that, I imagine it would be equally popular. Legion handled fishing well I thought - the legendary fishing rod, Margoss and his floating island pond, the various fishing specialists around the zones that had their own little fishing events - it was a good idea and why it wasnt carried forward I dont know.
Try FFXIV fishing, its top tier notch. Best fishing experience ever! You use skills alongside waiting for fish to bite and even have to master these skills to get a special shark mount.

I already did, on fishing.
They already have the artifact fishing pole, with tons of room for more things on it.
My suggestion was that during each expansion it gets similar things to Legion, as far as for increasing fish catches and such, with a “tree” for that expansion.
A player who just started in Shadowlands could get the pole and only work on the Shadowlands tree, if they felt like it. Or they could go back and do the Legion tree/BFA tree if they wanted to do those.
There is too much “throwaway” content during each expansion; it seemed like such a waste to have that pole just be a “one-off” for just Legion.
True that. 
I loved it in FFXIV. It is actually another “job”, as with your class, with its own outfit and stuff.

One of the CCs said there was another game where the professions had their own story line. It would be fun if we had “level up” options where you could go kill monsters OR you could have profession tasks which increased your overall level.
i miss the daily fishing quests
The way Blizzard has handled all professions the last several expansions has blowed
Fishing in FFXIV is really good too.

Just making fishing gear mean something for other than the first 30 minutes of an expansion before you can be max level would be nice.
