Operating Instructions

Game Modes

• Arcade Mode: Offers a quick and engaging fishing experience.
• Tournament Mode: Compete against other anglers across various stages to achieve the highest score.
• Practice Mode: Ideal for new players to learn controls and refine techniques without time limits or competition.
• Nature Trip Mode: Explore the fishing environments at your own pace.

Casting and Reeling

To cast your line, hold the Wii Remote like a fishing rod and perform a forward casting motion. The strength and angle of your cast will determine where your lure lands. Once the lure is in the water, use the Nunchuk's analog stick or specific Wii Remote motions (as indicated on-screen) to reel in your line and manipulate the lure.

Hooking and Landing Fish

When a fish bites, the Wii Remote will vibrate, and the motion sensor will provide feedback. Quickly pull back the Wii Remote to set the hook. Once hooked, you must carefully reel in the fish while managing line tension. Avoid letting the line tension get too high, which can break the line, or too low, which can allow the fish to escape. Follow on-screen prompts for optimal reeling and rod movements.

Fish Types

The game features four distinct types of bass:

• Florida Large Mouth Bass
• Red Eye Bass
Small Mouth Bass
• Northern Spike Large Mouth Bass

Troubleshooting

Difficulty Catching Fish

If you are having trouble hooking or landing fish, ensure your casting and reeling motions with the Wii Remote are precise. Experiment with different lures available in the game, as some may be more effective in certain conditions or for specific fish types. Pay close attention to the on-screen prompts and the Wii Remote's motion sensor feedback when a fish bites to set the hook correctly and manage line tension.

Disc Read Errors

If your Wii console is having difficulty reading the game disc, first ensure the disc is clean and free of scratches or smudges. Gently wipe the disc with a soft, lint-free cloth from the center outwards. If the problem persists, ensure your Wii console's disc drive is clear of any obstructions. For persistent issues, consult your Nintendo Wii console's instruction manual or contact SEGA customer support.

Wii Remote Connection Issues

If your Wii Remote is not responding or disconnecting during gameplay, verify that it is properly synced with your Wii console. Check the battery level and replace batteries if they are low. Ensure there are no strong interferences (like other wireless devices) near your console or remote.
