Catching a Fish

You can catch a fish by choosing the Bait you want to use, throwing the hook near a fish, and reeling them in once they bite. You can control where you can throw the hook using the A and D Keys or the Joystick for movement.

When reeling a fish, make sure to let the arrow stay on the red mark until the fish gets close to you. You can use the same controls when trying to throw the hook!
