BASICS
------

Why fishing? Is it for me?
-Fishing is a great source of money, well in BOF it is anyway. Also, it's
-easy to perform, so it should be no trouble to you.

Money, I hear money...
-Yeah, you can trade fish at some shops.

OK, you've got me hooked(no pun intended, coz that would not be funny). How
do I start fishing then?
-You'll need a rod, some bait, and somewhere to fish.

Where can I get those?
-You can buy a wooden rod and some bait in Sarai Town

What about a fishing location?
-You'll have to find them yourself, or check below in my guide.

I'm there, teach me!
-Read the next section

CASTING
-------
Luke Skywalker.................Mark Hamill
Han Solo.....................Harrison Ford
Ben Kenobi...................Alec Guinness
R2D2....................................Me

No, seriously, this section tells you how to cast your fishing line.

First, choose the direction you want to cast in(with the D-Pad)
Next, press X
When you get the power to where you want it, press X again, and you're done.

----
LURE
----
When your line is in the water, you can move around your lure.
X reels in your lure
Left moves the Lure left
Right, Right
Down, Up
Up, Down

You see a Tech 0, sign, right?
That's how attractive your lure is to fish, the higher the better. You should
watch the tutorial to improve your lure, because it's hard to put it on
paper, i.e. here. You want around Tech 4 or 5 to catch most fish.

-----
CATCH
-----
When you see some tension appear on your line, quickly press X to "hook" the
poor fish, what did it ever do to you? Once you've hooked it, you have to...

-------------
REELING IT IN
-------------
This bit is on the tough side, you can't sit back and relax here. You want
the tension bar to be inside the box. Hold X to give it more strain, and
release for less. Use the colour chart below as a strain indicator.
Red - too much
Blue - Not Enough
Green - Just right

That should do you....

POWERSTATION GUIDE TO FISHING
-----------------------------
Thanks to PowerStation Magazine for this next bit, go out and buy it, if you
live in Europe!

When approaching the lake, stand with your feet towards the water and press
X to cast. Take note of the power bar and press X again to release the lure
into the water by pressing the D-Pad, then wait for a fish to take the bait.
As soon as a hit occurs, press X again to hook the fish and then keep it held
to start reeling the line in. Once the fish is hooked, try to keep the line
in the middle of the central area and watch for the fish trying to escape.
If the fish tries to run, let go of X briefly of tap Up to let out some more
line, then start to reel it back in again as quickly as possible. Each time
you catch a fish you'll be awarded with points, increasing your fishing
skill level.
