Fishing Tips

Also, some tips about reeling in:

There are several ways to know when you can catch a fish when fishing. When you throw your pod in the water, it will start to flow in a certain direction. I’ve noticed there are 3 possible outcomes that lead to catching a fish:

• The pod will suddenly go underwater (there will be an audio feedback of a splash)
• The pod will stop moving (no audio feedback) (this is not to be confused with the pod bobbing in the water, it might slow down but it won’t come to a full stop)
• The pod will move in the opposite direction of its flow (no audio feedback)

Pressing the fish button quickly enough in any of these circumstances will get you a fish.
