First, the person above with the short post & easy links - kudos!!! Anyone should be able to do it from there.
For alliance, here's my suggestion:
From Theramore. fly to Thalanaar. Go to the tloc & grab Ahi.
you can either double back to Thalanaar, and catch the flight to Feathermoon - NOT NIGEL'S!!! and swim up the coast to the tloc for the Striker OR just run over west & swim up. *If you have a mount or travel form, alternate between running the coast & swimming. There will be fatigue water, but just hug the coast, & you'll be ok
If you don't have a BIFPole yet, after the Striker, swim up & start raiding the shellfish traps by the troll village. The traps are laid out in a sort of double crescent from the troll village, like this:
Fatigue water ( ( |* <- village
The traps are on both the 'shelves,' as well as down in the valley between.
If you have swim speed potions, druid water travel form, undying breath, belt of swim speed, etc., it will go easier. The Drysnap Crawlers & Pincers are pretty aggressive, as well. The traps sometimes hold shellfish, sometimes a Drysnap, sometimes vendor crappola, and sometimes a nice magic item (my gf just pulled Stonecloth Gloves & Cuthroat's Mantle of the Owl), and RARELY a BIFP. The area is also a good source of Stranglekelp, as well.
After you get your BIFP, run on up in through Desolace to Nigel's Point, and fly back to Theramore. Boat from Theramore to Menethil. Griffon to SW, then to IF, then to Stranglethorn.
(The fishing Tournament has just been implemented in STV, so you may want to ask if it is going on while you are there - you can fish for the quest & the tourney at the same time)
After getting the Sailfin in STV, griffon from BB to Darkshire, and from Darkshire to Netherguard Keep in the Blasted lands.
From NGK, run up north into the SoS to get the Mahi. Be careful of the Stonard Sentries, Alliance!
Back to Netherguard you go!!!
(NOTE: if you are higher level, you may already have flight paths to Thorium Point & Morgan's Vigil, which makes things a little easier. But I am guessing most lower 40s won't)
Netherguard to Darkshire, and you can either fly south to BB and take the boat to Ratchet & swim/run down to Theramore, OR head up north through SW & IF to Menethil, and take the boat directly to Theramore. In either case, back to Pat.
If there was a flight path between BB & Netherguard, this would be easier, but alas! no . . .
As for the 'Horde only' pole, it was a BoE before, and would occasionally appear in the Gad AH - but I wouldn't hold my breath for one. The STV Tournament (as of patch 1.07) should have equivalent or better items.
Just too bad that big fish don't show up when held in off hand, and we can't enchant fishing poles with weapon enchants . . .
Happy Hookin'!
