A player can fish on one of three lakes and choose up to
seven terrains. The weather and water conditions change
randomly each time you change lakes and sometimes when
you change boat locations. With the correct lure, fish can be
caught in any weather/water condition.
In tournament mode, to win the tournament, you should try
to catch as many fish as possible. Or if recreation fishing Is
your game, sit back, relax and let the fishin pro help you
master your skills.

STARTING A NEW GAME
At any time, you can press NEW GAME for two seconds to
start a new game, with a fully restocked Tackle Box. Position
the fish finder for best optimal view.
WAKING THE GAME
If there is no activity for about one minute, the game goes
into "sleep" mode. To "wake up" the game, press ON. The
game will begin where you left off.
SELECT THE GAME MODE
After starting a new game, you will notice "GAME" flashing
in the lower-left corner of the LCD. Press "NEW GAME" to
switch between Tournament and Recreational fishing.
Tournament: If you select Tournament, you will have 15
minutes to catch as many fish as possible. At the end of the
15 minutes, the weight of your top five fish is added together
and compared to the other computerized fishermen.
Recreation: In Recreational mode, you can fish for as long
as you have lures. See how big a fish you can catch and set
your own personal record! The game is over when all 18
lures are either snagged or eaten by the fish. Good luck!
SELECT A LAKE
Before you cast, select the lake in which you would like to
fish by pressing the NEW LAKE button. In the top-left corner
of the LCD, you will see a "1", "2", or "3".
Lake 1 is Sam Rayburn Reservoir in Texas.
This lake has a warmer temperature. The fish are active and
responsive to bait in these temperatures. Spinner baits and
shad type crankbaits work best in five feet water. Worms will
work best in the five to ten depth. This lake also has a vari¬
ety of underwater structures (grass, branches, and stumps).
Lake 2 is Lake Guntersville in Alabama.
This lake has lots of grass and the water conditions are
murky. Spinner baits and jigs work best in this lake.
Lake 3 is Lake Okeechobee in Florida.
This is a freshwater lake famous for producing big bass. The
lake is usually muddy and has a lot of grass near the bot¬
tom. The lake is located in a sub-tropical climate which
makes the water temperatures warmer and storm fronts and
rain are more likely than other lakes.
SELECT A TERRAIN
After choosing a lake, press the Terrain buttons either up or
down to move around the lake. You will notice the shape of
the lake bottom change, as well as the number and position
of the fish.
SELECT LURE / DRAG
The Tackle Box, which lists all of the lures at your disposal,
can be found by opening its cover, located just below the
LCD on the base unit. Pull the top of the cover out and
down to open the Tackle Box.
In the top-right corner of the LCD, you will see the word
"Lure" flashing. This lets you know that you can change
your lure at this time. If "Lure" is not flashing, reel-in the line
until it is all the way in the boat.
While "Lure" is flashing, press the LURE / DRAG button
either up or down until the number shown in the top-right
corner of the LCD matches the number for the lure you want
from the Tackle Box list. When you have the lure you want,
you can proceed with your casting. When you have a fish on
the line, use this button to adjust your drag settings.

around stumps, rocks and brush. Worms are almost always
used on or near the bottom and work best when the water
temperature is above 60 degrees.
