Because of the arcade style the game focus on the selection of lure and rig - no line, rod or reel selection are included. There are 29 lures and 6 rigs to select from in your hunt for the great lunkers
Tournament
Today I wanted to play the tournament. You know what a tournament is right? Each round is for 2 days, you must waith in 5 fish over 12inc and the winner is the one with the bigges fish at the end of the round. If you don't get back for the weigth-in in time you will lose some point, and if your are more then 15 minnuts to late you are out.It was a rainy day in october and I was sitting in my boat at 6.30 am ready to start. I was placing my crank just behind the dock and after a few reel-in a bass hit the lure. I was not quite ready so my fumbling with the controler resulted in a lost fish.
A nother cast and a nother lost bass - I was just not that keen today. so I started the motor and in high speed I raced down the river looking for a good spot. I tock a hold but the fish did no show any interes of lure. Started the motor and when on to a new place. I found some stripers hideing but they was not interested neather.
You don't have any fish finder because you don't need any - with the split screen you are able to se whats in the wather under the boat!
