"What is Dragon Fishing?"
Dragon fishing is a dumb term I use for having a life while hunting dragons. The concept of it involves a player AFKing a spot for a long period of time until there is a 'bite', usually indicated by you taking damage. There's not too much point in doing it, but since I've long ran out of time to 'hunt' dragons due to work, I've decided to share my prime fishing locations for roaming dragons. It's a little redundant with the egg system, but the use can be multiplied with the eastern event that cycles in feburary. Anyway, if you would rather catch dragons in the wild anyway, carry on reading.
Just note, dragon fishing is still a gamble. If someone is more observant than you and is actively looking over that space of hours, they will probably still get the dragon over you, but due to lack of competition these days, fishing might still be the preferred option.
Multiboxing is optional but nice if you want to still play the game while fishing. If you're not however, continue with this guide. I won't go over how to multibox again in this thread as I have already covered it in my Dungeon Ancient hunting thread.
Finally this is not a definitive list, just a few choice spots I use. I'm also not going to be listing Moon dragons, since they appear at predetermined times. This includes Solar Eclipse.
Onyx Smoke
This pathway blocked by rock is devoid of mobs but not devoid of the ground pathing route of Onyx Smoke.
Pale Radiance
There's many choice spots here, but I use this one.
Primal Star
People don't usually sit up on this island, but Primal bites here, as well as any eastern dragons sharing the pathway.
Umbral Glare
The very first spot I 'camped' for an early UB was here back in OBT. It still works well here. Frogs might slap you around, but you should be able to position yourself correctly without pulling them. Umbral was even here at the time of screen capture.
Fungal Bloom
There's again, many choice places here, but there's an uncanny one here that not many people use.
Whispering Wind
This dragon lands on this rock in the Ruins of Sarpaldi so it's a nice anchor for where to stand.
Lunar Frost
Shattered Rage
Silverthorn
You can sit by this isolated tree west of Arpati which is free of enemies. You'll know you're at the right one due to the raised ground ahead of it, and the sight of a distant tent and dozing honeypest.
Dark Flame
A braindead location most hunters were at least vaguely aware of. It's pretty safe though, as Dark Flames AI tends to fudge on this hill and not attack you at all, turning into an hours long staring contest.
Recursive Nightmare
Scarlet Bloom
Verdant Fin
This dragon doesn't have many places you can 'sit for it' since it is mostly airborne. Here on the waterfall will drag it out of the sky however.
Green Hermit
He covers a lot of ground but if you're lazy you can sit by this rock near the waterfall in Painez Plateau. He walks behind it, right where I'm standing now.
Mountain Traveler
This dragon touches down briefly here by the wagon. Mind the scorpion.
Twinhead
Small island opposite of Miroth Fortress.

There isn't much set up involved, but there are some processes and options you can set to make your life easier.
Switch to the Combat Log:-
The combat log tracks timestamps and events that can help determine when something happens. If your character dies overnight, you'll know what time it was.
Mute everything but Sound Effects. The reason I do this is to hear when there is activity, like the dragon attacking you, denoting a successful "hook". You can set it extra loud if you want it as an alarm clock of sorts. (I once did this for Twinhead and several other dragons.)
If you multibox with an alt, stay in a party with them and have them fish. If you see / hear activity of another dragon you can use a Shadowstep Scroll to appear at their location.
