Shipwrecked Debris pools have a skill requirement of level 1 so you can pick up a pole and fish the pools right away.
Each pool seems to contain 1 to 2 crates.
Pools are found on all sides of the island except for an empty patch on the eastern side.
There are pools on the north side of the island. They can be reached by swimming around the island or jumping off the cliff face and levitating down.
On the Island, you can level your fishing from 1 to 75, or until the fishing quest becomes available.
Yes, The sea turtle mount and the pony pet both have a chance to drop from these pools.

Notes: I have found that fishing is best done in between midnight and 5 am due to lack of competition.
Fishing these pools has been very profitable.

The sealed crates can be fished from pools called "Shipwrecked Debris" on Darkmoon Island.

Does anyone know if the Sea Turtle mount can be fished from these pools?

i found that these crates are a great spot too farm embersilk cloth if there arent too many others around. in about 1h time i got around 15 stacks of cloth + a lot other random gathering items and potions.

but cloth was the one i found the most from these. 8-12 if a crate contained it.

The sea turtle can be confirmed as a drop from these pools. Person on my server just got it while fishing in one.

I have found these to be a great way to make some money. Heavy Savage Leather sells for about 45g for one and a stack of embersilk can go anywhere from 60-100g at any one time, especially when the crates are able to drop 8-23 of them at a time. Do it for about an hour and you can easily walk away with 500-2000g depending on your own server.

And of course having the chance to get a turtle while making money is always nice.

I can confirm Sea turtle drop. I got mine today. It was aditional loot to crate.

But still, after cca 100 crates no pony.

One thing to remember when fishing these on Darkmoon Faire Island is outside the Fairegrounds is Contested Territory. You can be engaged in PvP if you're on a PvP server or are flagged for PvP.

NOTE: the item Sealed Crate (id:67597) has been replaced by (id:88496) and have been completely updated to MoP items. This is the easiest (nearly only) way to get on a level 80 to get your profession to 600 early.

Got turtle and pony on my F2P account in 3 days fishing. So, even though I DO NOT have cata, these pools are fishable by F2P accounts for a chance at the pony and turtle.

To show how profitable fishing these up at the faire is, I did a 1 hour test. I will be using wowhead's buyout pricing for each individual item, as economies differ on all servers. I will not be listing the non-buff food or drink items as this post is to show what's profitable.

The test was done at 5:00am E.S.T. using Elixir of Water Walking, no competition.

1 Elixir of the Naga @ 4g18s14c

66 Darkmoon Firewater @ 1g (estimate)
7 Rumsey Rum Black Label @ 99s90c

My math and time is lacking to add up the total worth of these items, but it's roughly 3k gold from a glance. Not bad for an hour worth of fishing! So if you were disappointed like me that the tradeskill material vendor has not returned with the new Darkmoon Faire, fishing these up is actually more profitable.

Tips:

do this early in the morning, the early bird gets the worm and there are less players about
use the water walk elixir, this saves lots of time
if on a PvP server, use the elixir and don't run on shore. surprisingly the enemy is less likely to swim through water to kill you for taking a fishing pool
don't forget to check the little islands around the shore! pools usually spawn here

Comment by Shadowypain

I've found it to be a little quicker to go from one end of the beach to the other while fishing these nodes. I felt like running around the back (top right of map) was a waste of time. Most of the nodes respawn on the left or bottom parts of the maps.

So, when I start I go to the dock and run down the shore to the right. I fish all of the nodes that spawn, including on the little pieces of land with wrecked ships on the left side of the map. Once I reach the end of the beach (33,25) I turn around and run the direction I just came from. Some nodes have spawned on my way back. I go until I reach the other end (76,62). This, in my opinion is a nice route to take back and forth. It's quicker than running that long stretch of water around the back, even with Waterwalking.

Just my piece of input. Hope you see a difference.

If you're serious about fishing these up, make a Death Knight:

- after a couple of hours of having fun with the class you get Path of Frost (level 61) that allows you to ride on water and get to the couple of schools that normally require swimming,
- On a Pale Horse is a talent very early in the Frost tree that gets you on par with those pesky paladins. Even if you actually want to play your Death Knight, it's a good talent, and if not going Frost you can dual spec just to get your mounted speed bonus,
- you only need a fishing skill of 1 to fish up the Crates, and the trainer is right there on the Faire docks.

this is a great source for gold at low levels.
as soon as you can get to the island to gu fishing and even if your fishing level is low you get the crates.

you also get a lot of booze' food and drink which is good for the drakmoon faire food and drink achivement
