When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Land as many fish as possible in five casts. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.

The order of play

  1. Cast and wait for BITE.
  2. Hook promptly.
  3. Hold Reel for progress.
  4. Release to lower tension.
  5. Land the fish before it escapes.

Using the playing area

Cast and Hook; hold Reel or R; Space casts/hooks. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.

Try this example

Alternating reeling and release avoids snapping the line. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Check the stated objective.

Check this before moving on

Early hooks, missed bites and excessive tension lose a cast. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
