I bought this game just now and played it and its fun, realistic fishing, I only played ifish on my phone, the one where there is just sounded and just pictures for background and this is 100 times better, its just really hard, I guess you have to know how to fish cause they keep breaking my line and I can't figure out how the line tension works with reeling in, I hadn't caught one yet
but for 99 cents and if you love fishing games better get it 
Worth starting with the easier areas first (The Old Pond and Lake Shiny). Don't reel when the fish is running and its strength meter is jiggling, reel when it's still and you don't put so much tension on the line. Be prepared to let go of the reel and let the fish run a little if the tension is too high.
caught my first fish in the easy pond, lil carp 18.05lbs hehe that was way to easy than the harder bigger fish
When your line is in the red, then it's really being pulled tight, so let off the reel for a bit. Try to stay in the Green and Yellow.
i dunno – this game looks great, sounds great and plays smoothly, but it's waayyyyy to easy and doesn't really "reel" you in. Within 5 minutes I caught a sailfish, swordfish, tuna on the hardest level, which is immediately available without having to unlock, or "earn" your chops.
If somehow they could combine the strategy and depth of iFishing with the graphics of this, it would be one helluva game.
yeah I will admit I tried to do the hard levels first and didn't catch anything, now I catch everything, it did start to be highly easy, I just play now to try and catch the fish I need to unlock.
Great game but I agree with the unlocking levels. Also, what the best way to cast?
We decided to have the normal levels unlocked to start with as the majority of casual players would be frustrated with having to work through and unlock them all. While that does mean you can try for all the fish from the word go, on the harder levels you're more likely to only catch the smaller examples of them. Landing the larger fish (especially the ultra rare 'named' fish) should take you a lot longer and are definitely worth bragging about to your friends
The best way to cast is to do a longer, smooth arc (not a full sized arm's length swing though), which should get you longer casts. Remember though, that some fish tend to hang around closer in, so a shorter cast can be useful sometimes.
I really like this one over the other fishing games. But I can't catch the last six fish. Could somebody list what they are, where they're at, and what bait to use. I really need to catch these, and can't figure out where they are and what bait.
jared, I share your frustration. Have been at this for weeks now and am down to 5 uncaptuted species, but no matter what bait I try I just can't capture them. If anyone could offer any hints, they would be gratefully received. Other than that, a great game.
its really fun but i just cant seem to catch the carp in the lake. i dont know what bait to use or anything ive been trying for 30 mins.
