If you don't have a flying mount, water walk, levitate, remember to bring Elixir of Water Walking because there are some pools you won't be able to fish without it.

Comment by Sulticune

Deep Sea Monsterbelly and Moonglow Cuttlefish were really hard to find, I spent about 20 mins looking then eventually found both schools right next to each other, at 84, 91 and 85, 91 respectively. Flying mount or Water Walking are required for these schools.

The Deep Sea Monsterbelly and Moonglow Cuttlefish spawns need 480 fishing to fish them.

I can confirm these locations though - I found 2 Moonglow Cuttlefish spawns here right next to each other. After I fished them, 6 min later (from the timer on my enchant) a Deep Sea Monsterbelly spawn appeared alongside another Moonglow pool.

Note though: These co-ords are from the zoomed out Nothrend map and not the Howling Fjord map - be very careful as the Fjord co-ords of 84, 91 are out at sea and you will die from the exhausted debuff. The location should say "The Frozen Sea". You will need to fly out and fish from an iceflow or use some form of water walk.

I did see a L83 elite called Big Shirl but she doesn't attack you, so don't worry about the huge orca come for you.

Actually no water walking or flying mount needed. Ice floating all around allows you to jump on it and have a nice fishing session :) Even with campfire + cooking.
And fatigue is not an issue as long as you are not going further south.
84, 91 on the Northrend map confirmed.

found plenty of both Deep Sea Monsterbelly School and Moonglow Cuttlefish School at 31,67 Northrend (84,60 Borean Tundra)

Comment by sdkphoenix

Found a Dragonfin Angelfish school along the Dragonblight side of the Dragonspine Tributary(lol).

Comment by ZelasMetallium

Completed this with 350 base fishing, + Sharpened Fishing Hook, Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole, and Captain Rumsey's Lager. The Moonglow Cuttle Fish and Deep Sea Monsterbelly took a lot of casts with all the get aways but patience works and I was able to achieve this before even hitting 375. :)

I found 6 schools of Moonglow Cuttlefish and Deep Sea Monsterbelly all clustered on the eastern side of Borean Tundra. Coordinates are 81,57, out in the ocean near some icebergs.

I guess pools accumulate here because no one flies out this way.

Edit 1 - make that 12 schools. Discovered more as I flew around the icebergs.

Edit 2 - the respawn seems pretty quick... I think you could fish pools in this area indefinitely, and they'll keep respawning.

Comment by remotettl

best for rare ones are in borean tundra. it`s cause in howling spawn rate and places are way to low!

Comment by remotettl

you need to have 480 finish to fish ones in great sea. deep sea and moonglow. :)

Deep Sea Monsterbelly School and Moonglow Cuttlefish Schools share the same spawn points. If you can only find one type you need to fish them out to get the others to spawn.

They are found around coords 81,57 in the south eastern waters of Unu'pe and Death's Stand.

Comment by 11502

As of patch 3.1 you no longer need any particular fishing skill to do this, as low fishing skill now just means that you usually get grey vendor trash instead of "good" fish, rather than not being able to fish at all. Just take bait and be patient.

You don't get credit for the achievement if you fish up a gray item.

Comment by Luoma

The +1 isn't enough to say thanks to you Ithinarine :)

Comment by Psykopatmullvad

Really lovely and very helpful guide!

Comment by 367751

Here, there are a list of maps of where to go to get your fishes.
Glassfin Minnow School will be found ->Crystalsong Forest
Deep Sea Monsterbelly School, Dragonfin Angelfish School & Moonglow Cuttlefish School will be found ->
Dragonblight
Glacial Salmon School will be found ->Grizzly Hills
Deep Sea Monsterbelly School, Fangtooth Herring School & Moonglow Cuttlefish School will be found ->Howling Fjord
Borean Man O' War School, Deep Sea Monsterbelly School, Moonglow Cuttlefish School & Musselback Sculpin School will be found ->Borean Tundra
Nettlefish School will be found ->Sholazar Basin
Imperial Manta Ray School will be found in any of these maps that have the coasts marked, its a fish that can be found anywhere on the coast.
I'd start in Sholazar Basin and go through Borean Tundra, Dragonblight, Grizzly Hills, Howling Fjord, Hearthstone to dalaran and go to Crystalsong Forest. Then you should be done, I think that would be the fastest way, that's how I did it and ofc with a 280% flying mount it took me about half an hour to get the achievement done.
Good luck and hopefully you'll be able to get more achievements done on your way to Northrend Angler.

For those of you having trouble finding the Moonglow Cuttlefish I found an abundance of schools around (81,58) in the Borean Tundra just southeast of Unu'Pe. Hope this helps.

Comment by kr4ven

I found Deep Sea Monsterbelly School and Moonglow Cuttlefish right outside Kamagua in Howling Fjord. You don't need 480 skill to catch them. I had 260+ when I got them. Also, you might also get Monsterbelly in the Cuttlefish school, which is annoying, and you might get the right fish in the right school, but it doesn't count towards the achievement. That's what happened to me. I just kept fishing and got it a few casts after. Might have been that it was a bit to far from the school.

Comment by cmarie13

I flew all over the coast of both Dragonblight and Howling Fjord, and didn't find any Deep Sea Monsterbelly or Moonglow Cuttlefish schools. I suggest trying the spot where you have to fish up the severed arm for Marcia Chase, the iceberg off the coast of Borean Tundra. Found both at the same spot.

Comment by Carie

The only comment i seems needed here is "Ithinarine" 's comment, ty very mucho.

Comment by jzerbini

I was having issues finding Deep Sea Monsterbelly and Moonglow Cuttlefish schools.

Found LOTS of both south of Unu'pe, as already said in this page by Hoperr and Verdict. Dont even bother going to other places, this one is the best !

Comment by 552200

Okay, I just finished this today, and my cords were(30,67) in Frozen Sea..you can stand on the edge of the Iceberg...no problem and there were two pools right next to each other..I am only Skill lvl.167 and have caught everything just fine.

Comment by 677324

I had been having difficulty finding the Moonglow Cuttlefish School and the Deep Sea Monsterbelly School. After searching for quite a while, I FINALLY found BOTH schools at the far out icebergs in the Frozen Seas directly south of Death's Stand (Borean Tundra). The icebergs do actually show up on the map. I've attached a (pending) screenshot. Hope this helps and saves you all some of the time I wasted trying to find these suckers!

If you are flying from Dalaran, I recommend taking the Valiance Keep FP.

I have been working on this achievement for too long, I finally here and went to the icebergs outside the Un'upe village....I was only missing the Cuttlefish and the Monsterbelly.

This description helped tons "I had been having difficulty finding the Moonglow Cuttlefish School and the Deep Sea Monsterbelly School. After searching for quite a while, I FINALLY found BOTH schools at the far out icebergs in the Frozen Seas directly south of Death's Stand (Borean Tundra)."

I found a sweet spot, cluster of both schools in one little tiny spot at 81.1, 57.7, I used water walking potion and barely had to move to catch both.

My fishing is maxed, I used the Kalu'ak +30 fishing pole and a +100 lure (I wasn't taking any chances!) It took about 10 casts.

Comment by 866854

As stated above numerous times, south of Unu'pe is definitely the best place for Moonglow Cuttlefish and Deep Sea Monsterbelly schools. I spent ages trying to find a Deep Sea school after finally finding a Moonglow school in Howling Fjord after patrolling the coast/icebergs all the way from Borean Tundra.

After reading the statement a bout Unu'pe I was straight away able to find plenty of schools for Moonglow Cuttlefish and Deep Sea Monsterbelly. Good luck guys!

Comment by 828782

I found Musselback Sculpin school in Coldrock Quarry (Borean Tundra) 51,34
This wasnt marked on those maps, but now you know. =)

edit: Deep Sea Monsterbelly School and Moonglow Cuttlefish found 2 of both pools at 76,65 right under Unu'pe, two tiny iceberks.

Comment by Nitaelf

I just got both the Deep Sea Monsterbelly and the Moonglow Cuttlefish off iceburges off the eastern coast of Borean Tundra close to Unu'pe.

Comment by Velanthia

Passed a lot of Imperial Manta Ray schools in Borean (along the coast) while looking for other schools, so this may be a good place to look for that type if you need it.

Comment by 832182

For anyone without Co-Ords for the Deep Sea Monsterbelly School and Moonglow Cuttlefish - I found them in "The Frozen Sea" in Borean Tundra, south of Death's Stand. Make sure you fly right out to the ice bergs on the map (just before you start hitting the "Fatigue" zone flying out to sea.

Also - a little tid bit, while this may be obvious to some, make sure you loot the fish you catch, as these will also contribute to other Fishing Achievements like "The Limnologist" & "The Oceanographer". To get the fish for this achievement you don't actually have to loot them, as soon as you land a successful cast you get it ticked off. But loot the fish so you make sure it ticks them off for the other achievements.
