FAQ
How long does it take for a fish to be caught?
It depends on the size and skill level of your fisherman. A fish can be caught in between one and an hour. You have a better chance of landing a large fish if you wait longer.
How often should I replace my lures?
You should change your lures every few days. Lures tend to lose effectiveness after being left out in the sun too long.
How deep can I cast my line of sight?
Cast your line as deep as possible. To ensure the line doesn't twist, your arm should be straightened when casting a slender line.
What kind of fishing licence do I need?
A fishing license must be purchased if you plan on fishing in state waters (i.e. rivers, lakes and bays). According to state laws, anglers must have a valid fishing permit before they can fish. You must have a valid fishing license if you intend to fish in federal waters, such as the Great Lakes and oceans. A fishing license is not necessary. If you intend to bring any fish home, you should first verify with the local authorities that you aren't violating any laws.
