How to Play Sega Bass Fishing for the Wii

Sega Bass Fishing is a franchise of fishing games that began on the Sega gaming console and has been moved to the Wii. The player is a fisherman on a pier or boat who, not too surprisingly, tries to catch fish. The player can choose tournament mode, in which the player competes against other computer fishermen, or arcade mode, in which the player competes to catch a certain fish weight amount before the clock runs out. In either of these game modes, the way to play is the same, and requires the Wii controller and nunchuk addition.

Things You'll Need

Wii controller and nunchuk

Instructions

- 1
  Select a fishing lure when the game begins and then cast your line. Cast your line using the wii controller exactly as you would a fishing pole: flipping your wrist toward you so that the controller faces away from the screen and then flipping your wrist swiftly forward so the controller faces the screen. The quicker you flip your wrist the farther you can cast your bait.
- 2
  Swing the remote left and right to move the bait in the water left and right in front of a fish. This action draws a fish's attention to your bait.
- 3
  Jerk the Wii controller backward when a fish catches your bait, setting the hook in the fish's mouth. Reel the fish in by cranking the nunchuk in a circle as though it were the reel on a fishing pole.
- 4
  Press the A or B button to reel the fish in rather than using the Nunchuk if your arm gets tired.
- 5
  Note the "Line Tension" meter on the right side of the screen. Slow down your reeling motion when the meter reaches the top and becomes red and vibrating. Not doing so results in the line breaking and you losing your fish.
- 6
  Pay attention to the on-screen directions about moving the rod left or right when you have a fish on the line. The directions reveal to you the behavior of the fish. Not following the direction to move left or right may result in the line breaking or the fish escaping the hook.
