Patch 3.1 introduced a new and interesting achievement:
Turtles All the Way Down.
The Sea Turtle only requires 75 riding skill so anyone over level 30 can use it. I decided to go for it on my 39 Rogue, and I hit the jackspot at around 4000 casts. The mount itself isn’t all that useful, as it doesn’t increase your speed on land, but it’s pretty fast in water. But most importantly: it looks awesome
For those of you who want to go turtle hunting, there’s a guide over at El’s Anglin’ which covers low levels too. Good luck!

Nice one Ishh :p I might go fish one up as well – up for a race around Arathi Basin’s waterways?
Btw the title of this article is so groan-worthy I may have to gy camp you… >.< lol
I armory’d you and under achievements you didn’t have the achievement for the turtle?
I’m always up for a race
You’re right about the article title though, I can’t talk myself out of that one. At around 3000 casts I was in a state of utter depression: I started listening to “Fergalicious” and I went like “WAIT A MINUTE!”
For those interested in the reference of the title of the achievement:

@ Blinko:

4000 casts >> dont you have anything better to do? :p
Gz Ishh. Looks sexy
Where did you train your Fishing Ishh, I’m at ~250 in Dalaran Sewers but it’s going so slow
can a level 19 sit on that mount?
You can get it but you can’t ride it
@ Rip:
I leveled Fishing and Cooking together so I followed one of the profession guides from the official forums. It doesn’t really matter where you level if you’re just going for skillups though.
not really relevant but i just ganked you ishh outside org on my rogue main xD
Haha, meanie
My 49 shaman (well he’s 46 atm) Implacable, got the Sea Turtle within the past 30 minutes. He’s still only 230 or so fishing skill as well, caught it while I was leveling from 1-450 in Northrend pools. Maybe its not that hard or I just got really lucky?
Mother Goose – you got lucky
Been fishing for over 10 hours played time with no luck :p
Fishing in a hot tub for sea turtle mounts
