The trick to enjoying this game is mastering the cast. It is not intuitive, and feels awkward at first. The instructions are not much help either. I would also recommend changing the controller configuration to “configuration b” in the options screen of the main menu. We had the same frustrations as the other reviewers, but we managed to figure out the cast in the end.
To begin your cast you pull B (and hold it), and “POP” the rod up. When the white bar reaches the end of the arc, you “POP” the rod forward. When the white bar returns to the beginning of the arc, you release the B button.
Like I said, once you get the hang of the cast, it is a pretty fun game. I really enjoyed reeling in a 39lb striped bass. My brother bought this game for my dad, and now he won’t have to wait until spring to have a little fishing fun.

Here are some tips, make maps of the lakes & way points, at the way points wright down what you caught. So when you go to a tournament you know where to fish for what your fishing for. There are ways to make money, with that $$ go & buy a top rod & reel, your casting problems will be gone. Just cause you bought the right rod & reel doesn’t mean your using them, when you get out there on the lake click on gear pull up the rod click on it then do the same the reel & line now your fishing with them. 90% of the time I use plastic unless the cat fish won’t let me then I go to swim baits. Fish career if you want to fill up your trophy room. Don’t forget your drag you’ll need to work it to get legendary fish. last tip I use controller & numchuck only GO HAVE FUN !!

As wii games go, this one is pretty lame. Once you figure out how to cast – no easy task – the game gets a little more interesting. FYI…you can’t cast like you would with a real fishing pole. Unless you win tournaments, you end fishing the same lake, which gets old. The “instructions” for this game really don’t explain anything. I found driving the boat was the most fun.

I got very frustrated with this game. The instruction book is useless. No instructions what so ever came with the fishing rod except how to hook it up with the nun chuck. Couldn’t make the boat move when using the nun chuck in the rod. I abandoned the rod, got the boat to move around the lake, then couln’t cast for the life of me. Finally was able to cast, maybe one good cast out of ten bad casts and never caught a fish. Played for hours, lousy casting and no fish. Not user friendly at all. Don’t waste your money.
