It’s time to hit the lake and reel ‘em in!

Remember, if you’re going Bass Fishin’, you don’t have to be REALLY

BIG to catch a REALLY BIG fish! Choose your favorite lure, cast your line, and wait for those whoppers to take the bait! If you watch out for the occasional old boot or spare tire, you’ll be reeling in a forty-pounder in no time!

CHOOSE A LEVEL!

Press the NEW GAME button to start a

new game. Next press the SKILL button to choose between skill levels 1 and 2. NOTE: If you do not choose a level, you will automatically play on level 1. Once you’ve chosen your level, press the ON•CAST•ENTER button again.

Special Hint: Your Junior Bass Fishin’ game will “go to sleep” when

there is no activity for about one (1) minute. If you have not finished your game before “sleep mode”, you will automatically start a new game when you “wake it up”.

CHOOSE YOUR LURE!

There are five special lures to choose from. Each one acts differently in the water and gives you a great chance to catch a fish. But be careful, each lure will tend to “snag” on different objects floating in the lake.

Choose your lure by pressing the LURE button. Press the button again to see all of the lures available. The Lures are:

Once you’ve decided on a lure, press the ON•CAST•ENTER button to tie it to your line. NOTE: If you do not choose a lure, you will automatically be given a Worm. But don’t worry, as you know, all fish love worms!

Now that you’ve chosen your lure, it’s time to cast it into the water!

CAST YOUR LINE!

While holding the ON•CAST•ENTER button, make a quick, forward casting motion. You will hear your line go out and splash into the water.

Now, depending on the lure you’ve chosen, your hook will begin to sink. You can turn the HANDLE to reel it back toward the boat or let it sink to go after the fish near the bottom of the lake. NOTE: If you choose TOP WATER or CRANKBAIT lures, they will not sink. You can turn the HANDLE to reel it back toward the boat or let it sink to go after the fish near the bottom of the lake.

CATCH A FISH!

As you watch the fish swim by, try to reel in your lure so it moves right in front of the fish.

But Watch Out!

These waters are full of old boots, tin cans, and spare tires. Try to reel in your lure so it doesn’t snag on them.

But most importantly, be on the lookout for the notorious POLE-EATING BAD FISH! This nasty guy would like nothing better than to eat your fishing pole for breakfast—hook, line and sinker! (Level Two only) So try to keep your lure away from his big mouth or else he will steal your whole fishing pole!

REEL THEM IN!

When a fish bites your lure, the game will shake. To make sure you got ‘em, jerk the game backwards to “set the hook.” Once the hook is set, turn the HANDLE to reel in your fish! The game will tell you how much your fish weights, and then it’s time to cast your line and go after another one!

NOTE: If there is no activity for about one minute, Junior Bass Fishin’ will automatically turn itself off to save power. Press the ON•CAST•ENTER button to turn it back on again and start a new game.
