In Fishing you have just entered the United Kingdom Fishing Contest and will be competing against 6 top anglers. First enter your name then the details of the tackle and bait you wish to use, taking weather conditions and the depth and speed of flow of the water into account. Keep your finger ready on the spacebar or joystick fire button, ready to strike when the float disappears under the water completely. If you're quick enough you should hook the fish and all you have to do then is land it. To reel the fish in you'll have to work quite hard tapping either of the two Shift keys (yes we cater for left-handed fishermen), or waggling the joystick. The match lasts for 5 minutes and in that time you must try to catch as much as possible. When time is up -at the all out - the fish caught by each competitor are weighed and a table is displayed showing the order in which the anglers finished, along with their total weights. Good luck and tight lines!
