Waves of Doom Tourney - Almost Destroyed My Phone I need to vent... I've been playing for about 3 days. Mostly Quest mode where I've made it to #23. Since I've mastered the 210 ft cast and feel pretty confident that I can land a bigger fish than the CPU in the Waves of Doom tourney, which I lost miserably in the past, I give it a go... First cast, I've got a monster and I know it. Time runs out and the CPU has a 790 pounder landed, but I'm sure I've got it beat. I just have to land it. For a good 10 minutes I'm patiently reeling and letting the line go, reeling and letting the line go, reeling and letting the line go... hoping that this bastard will give in and let me at least get it in the 400 ft range. It's strength is at a minimum and I'm feeling pretty confident that if I can just keep my very tired finger going I'll make it. No such luck. It eventually broke my fooking line. I'm pissed. Question: At what point or time limit, if there is one, do the big swords give in? Any suggestions from those that have landed the big one? TIA.
Swordfish and Wahoo So, I caught both 180lb+ wahoo, and the guy told me about the swordfish. So I spent the last 2 freaking hours trying to find one and reel one in, and I finally got one past 600lbs, and it didn't say "1 of 2" as usual. Found this odd, but I caught another, after about another hour of trying. Again, it was over 600lbs, but it didn't show the "!". Talked to the old guy, he told me what bait to use. I was using that bait. I didn't need his hint, lol I got them and he wouldn't acknowledge it! On top of this, I caught a wahoo, and it showed the "!", which took me to the old guy, who told me about the swordfish again. Funny thing is, happens every time I catch a wahoo, even if it's not 180lbs+. What can I do? I want to know what happens when you finish quest mode.
Seaweed... I used to pull seaweed in all the time. Now I need to catch it for the quest mode, all I keep pulling in (other than fish) is dead coral. Not cool... Been trying for about 5 hours now!
That's a subset of Murphy's law. When you need to hook a piece of junk the fish are all biting. In fact, the game does some sneakiness to combat that and increases the chance you'll hook junk when it's your current quest item. One tactic is to cast to minimum distance and reel in instantly as soon as you hook anything. If it's a fish you'll break the line and lose it, no loss. If it's seaweed or coral it'll reel in quickly.
Your best bet for the seaweed is @ breakwater or waves of doom. Also it matters whether you're in extreme or not.
You have to be in the right mode(extreme or normal). For wahoo use bait fish in blue deeps on normal mode. For swordfish use squid @ waves of doom in normal mode(you have to cast the line max @ about 210 for swordfish).
Best place for seaweed is @ breakwater or waves of doom. I got mine in extreme mode @ breakwater, not sure if that matters or not with the seaweed.
They fight to the end. The key is patience. Once they bite if you can get a quick 2 reels to get them under 210ft that helps. They only jump when they are under 210ft. When they jump you can get a quick 2 or 3 winds of the reel.If not you have to let them run and take your time reeling. you have to give them the drag they need. whenever the line tension goes up let the drag out. I've had them out as far as 630 ft and I've gotten them in. Hope I explained it right.
The Private Beach is an in-app purchase, just tap on the Village Shop button to go to the shop to buy it (you'll need to be connected to the internet for the Village Shop button to appear). The different rods are hidden in a secret area. If you scan around these forums or the iPhone threads on the freeverse.com forum you'll find some hints on unlocking it.
Help I haven't seen this posted don't know if it has been. Ok when you land a big fish you can change locations to the old pond and then just cast and reel in and the same fish will be on the line. You don't need all the trophies for big fish and big catch to unlock extreme mode. I'm stuck on the big fish tournament on both the regular and extreme deep blue. It always seems to happen where the CPU will at the last second pull in a 500 lb+ fish and sailfish aren't that big and marlin are freaking IMPOSSIBLE to catch! I did catch the 2 500 lb+ marlins for the old man though. Do I need to be connected to wifi to be able to download the private beach level? It's showing in my trophy section that I'm missing a trophy for what I presume to be the private beach level and several fish I haven't been able to catch at all (I have all the boss fish). Yet when I go to the village shop and click on download for the private beach it doesn't work.
tbh, it's dead easy to catch big marlin. i caught a 1100 lb on xtreme but u can catch them up to about 700 without. If you are having trouble, go on to big catch competition and cast as far as you can. then, reel in a tiny bit, like one foot, and then stop reeling for about 3 seconds. a fish will defo bite immediately, but that only works with "food" baits, not lures or spinners. But if you follow that method you can catch marlin, easily win any big catch competition, and after winning that you can catch marlin on extreme which will always be over 500 lb
Caught "Big Red", The red snapper at Blue Deeps. Weighed 158.3. Caught it in extreme mode during a big fish tournament.
