INSTRUCTION MANUAL

To exit demo, press “ON”to

wake the game from sleep

mode.Then cast and reel.

STARTING OUT

To start fishing, turn on the unit by pressing the CAST•START•ON
button. You are now ready to cast your line and start fishing!

(If
you want to change the lake, boat location on the lake, or lure,
you can only do so while the line is completely reeled in.)

Use the LAKE and BOAT buttons to pick a location to try. The
weather and water conditions change randomly each time you
change lakes, and sometimes when you change boat locations.
With the correct lure, fish can be caught in any weather/water con­dition.

SELECTING A LURE

Use the LURE•DRAG button to make your lure selection. Make
your lure selection based on the depth of the fish and the weather
and water conditions shown on the game's LCD. The LURE
CHART to the right will help you decide which lure to try.

CASTING

To cast, hold down the CAST•START•ON
button, and make a casting motion with
the game. Release the
CAST•START•ON button at the end of
your casting motion. The LINE OUT
meter will show you your casting distance
(100 feet maximum). Now start reeling in
the line with the mechanical reel. Good
Luck!

GETTING A BITE

You will have the best chance of getting a
bite by controlling your lure depth (with
your reeling speed) and keeping the lure
at the level of one of the fish shown on
the sonar screen. When you get a fish
bite, you will hear a splash, feel the game
shake and see a fish flash on the screen!
Now set the hook to keep him on the line!

SETTING THE HOOK

Set the hook by quickly jerking the game
backward.

If the game continues to
shake and the fish continues to flash
on the screen, you have him on the
line! Reel him in!

If the unit does not continue to shake, the
fish got away. Keep reeling in your line
and try to catch another one. The larger
the fish the more difficult it is to get the
hook set.

If you have a large fish on the line, it may be necessary to adjust
your drag while you are reeling.

ADJUSTING THE DRAG

If you are reeling in a large fish, keep an eye on the LINE TENSION
and LINE OUT displays. You may need to adjust the drag to keep
the fish from breaking the line or swimming off with it.

Do not stop

reeling while you adjust the drag!

If the tension level increases outward into the red zones, you will
need to adjust the drag down quickly (

-) with the LURE•DRAG but­ton to avoid breaking the line. If the tension level is very low and
your line out is increasing, you will need to adjust the drag up (

+) to
keep the fish from swimming away with the line. There are 12 drag
levels. 'MIN" or "MAX" will be displayed at each extreme.

LANDING THE FISH

You will hear a splash when you get your fish in the boat, the game
will display the number and weight of the fish. Pressing the
STRINGER button lets you see your collection by number and
weight.

TOURNAMENT PLAY

With the line completely in, press the GAME button to start a tour­nament. In tournament mode, 'Tournament' is displayed on the
screen along with a 15 minute timer. The object is to have three
fish that weigh the most by the end of the time limit. The game will
only allow you to keep three fish and the computer throws out the
smallest fish as more are caught. You can win the tournament by
beating the high score! (Hint: The wind direction can reveal hot
spots!)

THE LUNKER

Somewhere in the three lakes looms a world-record 25-pound lunk­er. To catch this big fish, you need some luck and a little practice­but it's quite a thrill to land one!

LURES

There are no set rules for what lure will catch more fish, but you
may want to make a note of a few hints:

• Plastic worms and jigs are better for sunny weather. Spinnerbaits

and buzzbaits are better for cloudy weather. Crankbaits are good
for any weather.

• With sunny weather and clear water, useful colors include smoke

brown, red, and silver. With cloudy skies and murky water, you
might try copper, gold, blue shad or crawfish. Other colors can
work fine with any visibility, depending on the kind of lure and it's
depth. Experiment with different lures with various and water con­ditions and see what works for you.

• The lure depth can be very important. While reeling in, you will

be more successful at getting a bite if you maintain your lure at
the same level as a fish shown on the sonar screen.

• Most lures will sink when you are not reeling and will rise to vari-

ous levels according to the reeling speed. The Crankbaits and

A BITE!

CAST

SET HOOK

Buzzbaits are specialty lures and perform a bit differently. The
Crankbait floats at rest but will drive to specific depths while being
reeled in. The depth ranges of the crankbaits are: Shallow (1 to
5 feet), Medium (5 to 10 feet), and Deep (10 to 15 feet). The
Buzzbait, a top-water lure is good for fish that are at or near the
surface. It will sink at rest, but while being reeled in, it will rise
and stay on the surface of the water.

The following table is a general guide for when to use each lure:
