Im lvl 63 with 307 gathering 224 perception and this worked well for me :)
Chum > Cast > Hook and got them pretty fast (few shrimp in between). Versatile Lure as bait. easy peasy

Valeryia Vess Exodus [Primal]

I used Chum > Cast > Hook and got them pretty fast (few shrimp in between). Versatile Lure as bait. Lvl 58 Fisher - 300 Gathering / 261 Perception

Mishbhavin Nulah Hyperion [Primal]

Best combo is Patience > Precision Hookset (the Blueclaw Shrimp is a weak bite, so Powerful Hookset won't work) > Mooch > Cast > Powerful Hookset to catch the Shadowhisker.

Used Stonefly Nymph and caught my 3 in a row.

Lilith Wynter Coeurl [Crystal]

Instead of patience I used Chum/Hook/Mooch had great results

Iam Cubz Midgardsormr [Aether]

Fari Deltk's method worked for me too.

Got 3 out of 7 casts.

Momochi Momo Balmung [Crystal]

Fari Deltk's method worked for me.
Got three inside 12 casts.

Althea Keres Zalera [Crystal]

Also used Kreyn tutorial, but with an alteration: instead of using Hook after casting, used Powerful Hookset both times. Hook by itself seemed less effective.

Suria Sanddusk Behemoth [Primal]

Kreyn youre a legend. Thank you

Fran Jote Malboro [Crystal]

Versatile Lure, chum, and hope for (!!) :) Oh, and enjoy the cuddly brown bears trying to steal your fish xD

Took about 10 tries, but I have ilvl200 gear.

Fari Deltk Goblin [Crystal]

This is how worked for me;

X: 31.5 Y:11.3
Use Stonefly Nymph.

Patience > Cast > Hook.
You get a Blueclaw Shrimp. Then;
Mooch > Cast.

& you'll see the !! which is the Shadowshisker.

Urvilan Stardust Balmung [Crystal]

Just done this now for the job quest.

Used the location in other comments (31.6, 12.2)

Gathering 358, Perception 298.

Versatile Lure. Snagging. Patience + Powerful Hookset.

It took me a couple of tries but eventually I got all 3 this way, I didn't get any from normal casts.

Rhea Saffron Louisoix [Chaos]

Versatile Lure @ 31.3 x 12.4 on large rock at edge of waterfall. Five casts, 1x River Shrimp, 1 x Blueclaw Shrimp, 3x Shadowhiskers.

Full HQ set.

Perception: 303

Fraeha Mei-leona Faerie [Aether]

Caught 1 with patience, 2 without

Happy Fishing!

Liofette Drapair Balmung [Crystal]

Similar to previous posts, I tried the spot next to the quest giver for like 20 min without success using a Versatile Lure. Switched location and this worked:

Location: 31.0 11.0 (small rock by the bears)
Bait: Versatile Lure
Casts: About 8 total, 6 with patience
Catch: 1x Mooched Shrimp 1x w/ patience 1x w/o Patience

Fishing 74 with item level 200 gear.

Kazhuma Kaz Faerie [Aether]

So...
Gear: lv 53 Set. I'm even still using the lv50 blue fishing rod. Upgrade to lv 53 rod (ilevel80) for an easier time.
Bait: Stonefly Nymph
Rotation:
Patience -> Precision Hookset (!) -> Mooch -> (!!) Powerful Hookset
Use Cordial/Hi-Cordial -> Try again.
While waiting for refresh:
! -> if NQ -> Try again.
! -> if HQ (Mooch) -> if NQ: try again.
! -> if HQ (Mooch -> if HQ do it 2 more times.

If all options are currently exhausted and you don't have 300gp saved up, just toss in attempts in the water anyways.

Ai Wolfy Leviathan [Primal]

The Dravanian Forelands 31, 10

Kal Argiros Gilgamesh [Aether]

33, 11. Used versatile lure. Fished up directly and also from a mooch.

Urma Wrma Famfrit [Primal]

After sitting next to the quest contact at 33,11 for 30 min with patience, I came here. switched to 30,11 on opposite bank and was done with quest in 3 patiently mooched casts!

Pia Frey Diabolos [Crystal]

Tired many of these methods. The skies were fair so not sure if that matters. Spouse and I tried in the same spot the 33/11. The first method mentioned with the mooching worked the fastest for us using the stonefly nymph. I'm sure it all works but thought I would share our experience. Took me longer than spouse and He was higher on perception and lower on gathering. Ultimately try it all :).

Little Foxypoff Exodus [Primal]

i got mine in less than 15 casts just used patience and versatile lure.

Mackie Roni Hyperion [Primal]

yeah, just use a versatile Lure at x31 Y11 with Patience active. I spent 30 minutes trying the other advice from this comment thread, and nothing. 5 minutes using the Versatile lure, and bam, 3 HQ ShadowWhiskers

Taratect Fenrir Jenova [Aether]

I had a similar issue with this quest. I kept running out of "Patience" before I could get a shadowisker at all by mooching, fish kept getting away. But after changing position (33.11) I got 3 HQ fish in less then 5 minutes! I guess the place really matters for some reason.

Leludar Mildew Cerberus [Chaos]

During the day, use Stonefly Nymph as bait, my location was 33,10, use Patience, then cast, use Precision Hookset to catch HQ blueclaw shrimp and then mooch, then use Powerful Hookset to catch HQ Shadowhisker (469 gathering/390 perception) level 61

*Caught all 3 of mine in less than 10 mins
