Hint:
Catching fish easily: Note: The fishing rod controller is required for this trick. Once
you get a fish on the line, reel it in and move the analog stick in a
counter-clockwise motion. You should be able to land any fish in a matter of
seconds.
Hint:
Hidden fish and other items: Successfully complete arcade mode, then choose original mode and
select the free fishing option. You can now access The Hideaway Of Big Fish
location. Successfully complete arcade mode twice to unlock the Fishing Port
location in free fishing.
Successfully complete arcade
mode three times to unlock Dogtooth Tunas in the Fishing Port location.
Successfully complete arcade mode four times to unlock the Napoleon Fish in
the Coral Reef.
Hint:
Sea Turtle appearance: Go to the Offing stage and equip a sinking lure. Cast to the near
the first floating thing. If done correctly you should see a sea turtle on
the way down. Keep trying until it appears.
Hint:
Whale appearance: Go to the Offing stage and equip a lure that sinks and not a
diving lure. Cast as far to the left as you can and let the bait sink. While
it is sinking try pressing Left or Right to change the camera
and jerk the rod. You may be able see a whale. Keep trying until it appears.
Hint:
Get any lure: To get any lure, catch large skipjacks (16 to 24 lbs) or small
barracudas (you will be able to pull them out without a stick or net). Use
any desired lure.
Hint:
Get any article of clothing: Go to the offing and catch small blue marlins (about 60 to 100
lbs). You can do this easily with the first popper A you are given. To get
different character's clothing (Captain or Macala), use their specific rod
under items and do the same thing.
Hint:
Using the aquarium: Put items you get in the aquarium as soon as the are obtained.
You cannot get some items if this is not done.
Hint:
Other items: To get other items, aim for the biggest fish on any particular
level. The last item you will be able to get with most fish is the metal
fish of that type.
Hint:
Catching the coelacanth: The hardest fish to catch in the game is the coelacanth and the
bluefin tuna in the fishing port, because there is no specific lure to catch
them. Aim to the left side of the screen near the dock and use the first big
splasher lure to catch the coelacanth. You usually have to get other fish to
chase it before the coelacanth gets interested.
To catch the coelacanth in the
fishing port section, the small silver minnow works excellently. If you hook
into a big one, this will be one of the hardest fighting fish in the game.
Hint:
Catching the bluefin tuna: Use the first big pencil popper and fish just to the right of the
dock as far back as it will go. You have to dance the lure just around there
to get them to bite.
