CASTING

Use 

to move the cast indicator. You can often see the shadows

of the fish swimming beneath the surface, so use this movement to help
you decide where to cast.

Once you have selected a suitable location, cast the lure. If you are
using the Dreamcast Controller, press 

to cast. If you are using the

Fishing Controller, press  , or perform a casting motion as described
below.

LURE ACTION

Use the Trigger 

or the Reel Handle to reel in. Use the Analog Thumb

Pad/D-Pad to give actions to the lure. A message will be displayed if
more action is needed.

You can reel the Reel Handle in either direction.

HOOK UP

When the fish bites the lure, the message “HOOK UP” is displayed at
the bottom of the screen. Press 

, or perform hooking motion if you are

using the Fishing Controller (see below), to hook the fish.

If the gauge is full, the hooking is successful. If you do not hook the fish
successfully in the given time, the fish will get away.

In Arcade mode, you will be awarded a bonus time if you successfully
hook a fish.

HOW TO CAST USING THE FISHING CONTROLLER

Hold the Fishing Controller upright, then flick
it down as if you are casting the actual fishing
rod.

Make sure to put your index finger on the
hook, as shown, to avoid accidentally
throwing it out of your grip.

HOW TO HOOK USING THE FISHING CONTROLLER

In a motion opposite to casting, flick
the controller upright to hook the fish.

As in Casting, make sure to put your
index finger on the hook to avoid
throwing it out of your grip.
