Ok what i did is i went to booty bay at 164 after screwing around in ratchet and the oasis in the barrens. I fished to 174 then jumped on a flyer to STV and stayed till 180 right outside front entrance of gromgol base no different ratio than booty bay about 5 fish for every 1 point earned.  I am using a +2 to fishing tattered cloth gloves and a nats xtreme angle pole gotten from a quest up in hinterlands from a troll on the dock. This gives me a total of +27 so my skill at 180 is actually 207.  Took a fp back to booty jumped the boat to ratchet and fp'd to dusk wallow marsh.  Hauled ass to Nat Pagle and am fishing next to him till I hit 225.  Then I am going out to the island off of feralis plus whatever quest crap he tells me to do.  I brought 10 kegs of bourbon and 20 cherry ales from netherstorm for my time on the dock with Pat.
