I've already won the Riverside Big Fish Trophy before the update, do I already have the stronger line or do I have to do it again?
oh darn I finally broke down and decided to buy the game and I guess its not campatible with my 2.1.1 ipod touch ---darn these developers are fast to get on the 2.2 bandwagon ----but I dont want to update.
i won every trophy for Big Catch & Big Fish before the 1.2 update and yes, you'll have to do it again in order to get the powerup. if you want to know if you have the powerup, it shows up on the game screen - see the picture below and see the "icons" at the bottom left corner... - the green reel represents a stronger line - the golden lure charm represents capable of catching monster fish easily. - the red fishing rod represents playing in Extreme mode. (Normal mode shows black rod)
i'm having trouble catching the 4 mullet, what's the best bait to use? EDIT: no worries, i'm on to the blue marlin now which is hard to catch one over 500lbs. I used sea eels for the mullet.
You can find tuna in Blue Deeps but I also wonder with what bait, I've tested them all and have found that no one is really reliable when it comes to catching tuna.
use Ragworm and don't cast too far - go 150 feet or less... you may catch a Sailfish sometimes, or a Sea Bass.. but around there, i caught a lot of Yellowfin Tuna.
Shiny Night - it's the same lake where Lake Shiny is but at nighttime. Brown Trout - i think either Spinner or Lure but don't cast too far. once the bait is in the water, reel in slowly until you hook the fish.
Wow. The fish at Night Fishing (original name, Freeverse) are really hard. Not as bad as sea fishing, but a good pike atleast.
the name "Night Fishing" shows up when you select from the map. the name "Shiny Night" shows up when you look at the Big Catch or Big Fish rankings. all of other places names matches the same for their rankings - i don't know why this bonus stage is different... anyway, i like "Shiny Night" cuz it sounds better
I'm having a lot of trouble getting two 600+lb swordfish in, my line gets to like 600ft and then it snaps so easily.
I was going to ask the exact same question! Where and how do you catch two blue marlins that are 500 freaking pounds each? What lure to use also would be nice...
