STARTING OUT

To start fishing, turn on the unit by pressing the
START•ON•CASTbutton. You are now ready to cast
your line and start fishing! If you want to change the

lake, boat location on a 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 games’s LCD. The LURE CHART to the right
will help you decide which lure to try.

CASTING

To cast, hold down the
START•ON•CASTbutton and make a
casting motion with the game.
Release the START•ON•CASTbutton
at the end of your casting motion. The
LINE OUT meter will show you your
casting distance (100 foot maximum).

Now start reeling in the line with the mechanical

reel.

GOOD LUCK!

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 toumament mode,
“TOURNAMENT” is displayed on the screen along
with a 15 minute timer. The object is to have 3 fish
that weigh the most by the end of the time limit. The
game will only allow you to keep 3 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 3 lakes looms a world-record 25­pound Lunker. To catch this big fish, you need some
luck and a little practice – but 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 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 its
depth. Experiment with different lures with various
weather 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’re not reeling and will
rise to various levels according to the reeling speed.
The Crankbaits and Buzzbaits are specialty lures and

perform a bit differently. The Crankbait floats at rest
but will dive 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:
