CASTING
LURE ACTION

Fishing Controller, press , or perform a casting motion as described
below.
HOWTO CAST USING THE FISHING CONTROLLER
Hold the Fishing Controller upright, then flick
it down as if you are casting the actual fishing
rod.
Make sure to put your index finger on the
hook, as shown, to avoid accidentally
throwing it out of your grip.
Use the Trigger or the Reel Handle to reel in. Use the Analog Thumb
Pad/D-Pad to give actions to the lure. Amessage will be displayed if
more action is needed.
You can reel the Reel Handle in either direction.

FIGHT
When you have successfully hooked the fish, reel it in. A Line Tension
Gauge will appear at the bottom of the screen. Pay attention to both the
Line Tension Gauge and the action of the fish, when reeling it in.
When there is too much tension on the line, the gauge will flash red.
There is a danger that the line may break, resulting in the fish escaping.
You will restart fishing from the lure selection screen. Stop reeling and
wait for the tension to decrease.
When there is not enough tension, the gauge will flash in blue. The fish
may unhook and escape.
It is very important that you control your reeling speed.
To control the tension from rising too much, controlling the rod is also
important. At times, a direction to move the rod will be displayed. Use
to move the rod left and right, and to raise and lower the rod.
Basically you should move the rod in the opposite direction from which
the fish is moving.
CATCH
When you successfully catch a fish, the name of the fish and its weight
will be displayed. Points will be added to your score in ARCADE and
FISHING TRAINING modes. In ARCADE mode, a time bonus will also
be added to your time.
In FREE FISHING mode, the fish may contain an ITEM CARD. This will
also be displayed.
ARCADE
First, select the field you will fish from. Use to select the field and
press to enter before the timer in the top right corner reaches zero.
Start fishing as described in p.7.
Once you earn a certain amount of points, you will clear the field. You
will then move onto the next field.
When the counter at the top of the screen reaches zero, time is up. To
continue the game, use to select “YES” and press before the
counter reaches zero.
At the end of the game, if the weight of any of the fish you have caught
is among the top 3 record of a category, you can enter your initials. Use
to select a letter and press to enter your selection. You may
select up to three letters. Select “END” to finish registering your initials.
