Tips Before Starting
- Get the right fishing tools
- Use Baits from General Good Stores - The baits and lures have the fish name written on them that they will attract. This is good for attracting a particular legendary fish.
- Throw the fishing line as far as possible - while retracting it will cover a lot of areas when comparing to throwing it at a short distance.
- Reel Only When Fish Stops Struggling - If you start reeling as soon as you catch the fish, there’s a chance that the wire will break.
