Aim
Move the pointer over the lake or use the arrow keys. The dashed line and crosshair show where the float would land right now.
Autumn dawn at the cabin lake
Big Bass Angler
Aim across the water, time the power meter, lean into the wind and bring your float down inside a feeding ground.
Angler's notebook
Notes Pinned Above the Cabin Stove
Every session gives you eight casts on a misty autumn lake. Three feeding grounds appear each round, each with its own size, points value and fish that fight with different strength.
Land the float inside a ground and the real work begins: hold the reel, watch the tension needle and keep it in the green band until the fish is in the net. Miss everything and the lake keeps ten of your points.
Technique
Four Habits of a Patient Angler
Power
The meter sweeps up and down on its own. Short casts reach the reeds, full power carries the float toward the far bank.
Wind
The arrow in the top bar changes every round. Aim slightly against it so the drift carries the float into place.
Reel
Hold the reel button, release when the needle runs hot, press again when it drops. Rhythm beats force.
Compass rewards
Six Ways the Compass Can Point
You get one turn of the compass when you arrive. The reward lasts for the session that follows.
Extra Casts
Start the session with ten casts instead of eight.
Head Start
Begin with 60 points already on the scoreboard.
Calm Wind
Wind drift is softened on every cast.
Steady Power
The power meter sweeps more slowly, so timing is easier.
Catch Boost
Every landed fish pays 35% more points.
Miss Guard
Your first missed feeding ground costs nothing.
