I've won the fishing contest 3 times. (third by accident)

And I can say with all honesty, fairness, and anything else is out the window. Basically its you against everyone else, so don't feel bad if you hurt their feelings, that means stealing fishing holes if someone is already there. Trust me after several months of fishing none stop to get my second win, I basically snapped at anyone who tried to bug me during the contest, its a highly stressful event if your try to win.

Just remember these simple rules;

1. Have an epic mount and crop
2. Use what ever gives you an advantage such as water walk for shamans, for my self being friendly with the Bloodsail.
3. Set your hearth stone to the Booty Bay Inn, as you need to get back fast.
4. Stick to one area, poles respawn regardless if you just passed them, so pick a select stretch of beach and just keep going back up and down it.
5. If someone is fishing a hole, fish it as well as every fish counts, doesn't matter who it is unless its a GF, wife, or someone who can punish you for the intrusion on their fishing hole by way of RL pain.

Outside of that, good luck and take lots of advil.
