Fishing hole help

Hello everyone, I've been reading along from Nova Scotia, Canada. We got
our hands on a Wii, probably the first sold in our city, just by accident
(misinformation by one store clerk, so the second one selling me one early
just to keep me happy!)

Anyway, we're at about 40 hours and having fun, but I'm having trouble at
the fishing hole. I hook fish regularly, but can't land them. Instructions
say to reel in (nunchuck) and pull (Wimote), and you will see a land icon
come up, then A + B. But I have yet to see a land icon, and keep losing the
fish.

Any help . . . .

Thanks.

It sounds like the fish is jumping and spitting out the hook. When the
fish jumps (and most all of them do), lower your rod (lower the
Wiimote) briefly until the fish goes back into the water, then pull back
on the Wiimote/rod and continue reeling. You won't get a 'land' icon
until you get the fish practically under the boat.

If that's not the case, and you're getting fish to the boat, then you
may be reeling too much and missing the A+B 'Land fish' icon. It'll
pop up briefly before switching back to 'reel'. Once you see the
icon switch to A+B, press both at the same time to land the fish.
I've seen the icon pop up at least once more when I've missed it
the first time. The fish usually don't jump when they're close to the
boat (not like real fish, who will spit that hook out any chance they get).

I usually hold A+B when the icon pops up, but it's probably not
necessary.

Hope this helps - don't forget to have fun at the fishing shack by
exploring everything in the place (even look down at the floor!)

Thanks for that, I actually was successful only when I stopped moving the
Wimote up and down so much. Hubby is much more successful, as he is at the
rolly game. I think he's almost given up though, at the 7th level - only 2
more to go before the big prize! I must also look at the floor as you
suggested.

Minor fishing shack spoilers below










































Looking at the canoe also provides some interesting dialogue...
And the jars above the roll game...
And the sinker lures behind the counter...
And the hat on the wall... as well as other parts of the shack. =)

Make sure and go back to each area in the shack at least 3 times.
The dialogue will slowly get more advanced until it repeats. It makes
for some good laughs!

And don't forget to 'tap' on the fish tank a few times! You know how
fish looooooooove massive sonic vibrations of their home! =)

If you bobber fish near the bridge, you get some fun stuff.
Keep going at it though. I've found 5 seperate things, including the
empty bottle that you're supposed to find, and not including the fish.

Good luck, have fun fishing!
