The goal to keep in mind

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

How your actions work

Cast and Hook; hold Reel or R; Space casts/hooks. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.

Put the rules into context

Alternating reeling and release avoids snapping the line. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.

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. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
