After Blizzard added the daily fishing quest AND greatly changed the fishing profession... now everyone is going to fish on a daily basis. I have some questions for you, let me know your experience:
How are fish prices on your server?
Are you still cooking fish-based recipes to sell them on AH?
Do you still (if ever) fish and sell fish?
I personally love the fishing daily stuff but to be honest it looks like a bit too much "easy": it lets you earn good money with very valuable vendor trash and offers a lot of rare stuff (fishing poles, pet, ...). Plus, whenever you go to do the quests you see a LOT of other players doing the same in the same exact place... :)

The last time I checked, most fish prices (except Borean Man O' War) were going down. I am having more luck selling cooked fish than raw fish, but I have resorted to vendoring anything that isn't a full stack (or anything that starts with 'pygmy' and ends in 'suckerfish'). I don't really blame the daily, as you can still get nice things from the old BC daily (I do both dailies myself), but I do think that the turtle mount is driving the fish prices down. It willl all pass though. People will get tired of not getting the turtle (or might even catch one), and the market will slowly recover until its profitable to fish again (though the market for nettlefish, sculpin, and glacial salmon will probably never be what it was).

You know what's frustrating? Having skilled up fishing when it was hard/boring, having gotten to 450 only a few weeks after the expansion hit
This. Fishing was interesting because it required some dedication and patience. That's why fish was "valuable". Now you can fish everywhere and skill up no matter what you do. From a "secondary" profession it seems it's now a "must have" for everyone. I also doubt it's profitable cooking fish into consumables using Northerend recipes... as they require Northerend Spices and prices do not match mats + spices, at least on my server.

Well, to be honest, its easyer now to buy cheap fish on ah, and !@#$ fishrecepies, and sell off on ah, and make gr8 money. everyone is fishing, but not everyone has coocking :)
So I make about 500g a day, on buying fish, and make it to buff fodd, and sell off on ah. Only pain is to get enough spice'es for em, sience u need coocking reward for it, og buy on ah, wich is harder now. ppl have seen they can make money off it.

Fishing, Cooking and First Aid are ALL "must have"s for EVERYONE, regardless of class, spec and
sexual
PvE/PvP Preference. That is why you can learn all three of them, regardless of your primary profession(s). You will not really be a "complete" WoW character until you have the
skills to pay the bills

I fish because I enjoy fishing, and because of the chance to find neat stuff. More neat stuff = more fishing fun. Why wouldn't we want to share our joy of fishing with other people? You want to make money, go do dailies (including the new fishing one :D). I want to take a break from PvE, so I'll fish.
So when I see people with the Kaluak Master fishing pole asking me where I got my title, or where I got Mr. Pinchy, or my sewer rat, or Heck... Even my fishing gear (stv hat, stv boots, stv blue rod) that's better than their epic rep fishing pole... Instead of being a jerk about it I'll tell them.
Who cares if the "Johnny-come-latelys" have 450 fishing and the turtle. I'm Salty, got Salty the "hard" way, and am still the only person I know in my guild that has it...
Besides, still only 1 person a week can win the STV contest, so NYAH. =P
Edited because my fishing skill is higher than my forum grammar skill.

but I prefer the underwater breathing bonus.
I fish on my druid, so underwater breathing is not an issue for me. ^_^. As far as the hat goes, I just can't get rid of my old green fisherman's hat! XD

Fish prices took a nose dive on Shadow Council, you can barely even give away Glacial Salmon now. At one point I was selling stacks of them for 80g. I think I sold one for 8g the other day. As mad as I am about the price drop, I'm happy to see that more people can afford and are using food buffs, makes that PUG just a bit more likely to succeed.

fish prices on our server Azuremyst are toast.
almost all are down to a few silvers now. pre patch, most fish feast items were selling around 1.5 to 3 gold per.
I pretty much only fish for what i need now (plus daily)

I'll never get it because the game won't let me. Two weeks ago I had 37 fish in 13 mins. The winner clocked in at 18 mins. In those 5 mins I caught the hat and boots fish (already had both), a lot of firefin and oily. I have finished 2nd about a dozen other times.
Plus I'm never going to get Pinchy (1000+ crawdads), my alt got it when I was just waiting around for some people.
This. I hate pulling 6 junk fish out of a pool in a row. Last Sunday, 25 fish in 10 minutes, then nothing for a good solid 5 minutes. The RNG hates me.
