You all must know about when fishing you get so many fish that no matter how fast you are, you will never catch them, as they hit the float & they are gone ( FAST ). Well over the last week I have been getting this happen more & more often, today alone in just one hour on the game I had it happen twice. Yesterday was pure stupid, in a two hour session I had it happen 4 times & later on in the day 3 more times. Does anyone know how often this should happen or can happen as its now driving me crazy. I have lost sharks, a Celeocanth, Dorado's, Snakeheads & lots of other fish. You do not mind it happening when its small low value fish or even say the size of a snapper or squid, that kind of thing. But when its biggies like sharks ( OK some may have been a Sunfish, but all the same ) it then starts to get very very annoying indeed. AAAAARRRRHHHHHHHH!

TTFN all

Thanks all for your comments, I do not sit there as has been said lallygagging at all & as I am fishing I rely on my hearing & not sight. If a fish is there I cast to the fish & when they lock on I look away & listen for the plop it is then I press A & do not watch them go for the float at all.

Man, I hate when there's a really big shadow in the water and you go for it, only to miss it because it took the bait on the very first bite. I always sit there wondering what it could've been (probably a Sea Bass, but meh).

I usually expect that every time the fish takes a nip at the bobber, it won't catch. Because if I do, my reflexes will develop a mind of their own and lose that fish for sure.

I know, I do that a lot. My thumb starts twitching, and then it hits A under its own control. I've lost Gars because of that.

I do that when i know there's a good/rare fish. It's because i worry about not pressing A fast enough.

That is why for some time now the only time I look is when I cast the line & to see if its in the right place & they see it, after than I do not look at it & just wait to hear the PLOP. I used to get so uptight waiting for them to strike & as they back away then it seems to take them ages before they strike the float again. So I got to the point that I thought oh boy my heart can not take this at all, te he he. So I now & have done for a long time now, I just look away & just use what I can hear.

Oh, i keep the rumble on the wiimote on too. It seems to help when it gives you a tiny jolt when the float goes under to immediately press A.
