In just a short amount of time I’d managed to get all 4 coin achievements, 2 sewer rats and a sea turtle mount! Miriella fished up the sewer rat a day or two before Patch 3.1, and while Miriella was pathetically trapped in Ulduar instances, I had nothing to do but to play Springroll, which I really didn’t want to do, so I decided to level her fishing instead. I started one night, and two nights later, I fished up all of the Dalaran coins. I checked the 1000 fish achievement, and I was a little over 100 away, so I thought, I have some time left to kill, so I’ll head down to the sewers and work on the rat while I get to the 1k fish achievement. Surely, I thought, I’d hit 1000 with it. Crazily enough, I head down to the sewers with Springroll – and it’s her first time ever having been in the sewers, I discover, and what do you know, the stupid priest fishes up the sewer rat in 6 casts!
The weekend came, and I was busy moving into my new apartment – and, as a result, had no internet access in my humble abode for over a week. I have no idea how I survived, but I did. Tonight was the first night I’d been back, so here’s the tonight’s total tally before I fished up the sea turtle:
7 Barrelhead Goby
1 Bonescale Snapper
17 Borean Leather Scraps
4 Borean Man O’ War
17 Cobalt Ore
10 Crystallized Water
101 Deep Sea Monsterbelly
6 Frostweave Cloth
14 Glacial Salmon
5 Imperial Manta Ray
109 Moonglow Cuttlefish
13 Musselback Sculpin
12 Nettlefish
170 Pygmy Suckerfish
4 Rockfin Grouper
8 Succulent Clam Meat
Today’s Total: 440 Fish, 58 other thingies. A grand total of 1045 fish, and lots of other various crap in reinforced crates and whatnots, so for me the average was just about 1 in 1000, which really isn’t bad at all; I thought I’d be around for much much longer, lurking the waters of the Frozen Sea for so long.
He’s very cute, and very worth it!
Congratulations! You’ve got to love that mount.

Thank you! I do! He moves slow, but hey, it’s all about looks, right?
Right, the look does it all. I think I’m getting him too. I’m currently the proud owner of:
1x X-51 nether rocket XTREME
1x Swift Spectral Tiger
1x Spectral Tiger
1x Riding Turtle
Yeah, I’m a game master on http://magic-wow.co.uk/

Well Miriella, you’re a lucky person, good for you! 🙂
Unfortunatly, some aren’t. I ain’t. I’ve spent quite a few hours fishing around in the Frozen Sea. According to stats, I have caught over 5,600 fish and 12,200 items total and still, no Turtle.
My luck sucks.
UPDATE: I just got it !!
So it took: 5,902 fish and 12,738 items total to catch it. And it was all worth it, she’s gorgeous. ::P
