VERSION [1.11] - June 07, 2006
-> Fixed Squid Prince error. Sorry, it's my mistake. I caught that squid on
Summer 1, while I was thinking it's Spring 30. After e-mails to me about
the squid princes so I tried it out. Turns out you can catch it in the
summers only, and day after rain/typhoons (I'm only human so I can make
some mistake! >.>;)
VERSION [1.1] - May 06, 2006
-> Added "COMMON" section next to the Fishing Locations' chart, since one of
the readers e-mailled me, suggesting that I should add that.
-> Added more information about the Fishing Poles, and their differences.
-> Fixed few things in this Guide, to make it more clean.

==============================================================================
001. HOW TO FISH
==============================================================================
You will first start with the Iron Fishing Pole. It is inside the Tool Box,
so take it out! Now, you have to approach the river, or anything with water.
There are several things to remember when you're about to fish.
"THROWING THE HOOK" - Just stand at the water's edge, and press "X". You'll
toss the hook right into the water. Longer you hold down "X" then release it,
you'll toss the hook harder so there will be more distance. (EQUIP POLE!)
"CATCHING THE FISH" - If a fish take a bite on your hook, first your character
will have [!] above her/his head. When it happens, press "X" repeatedly until
you reel in. If you're looking away while fishing, you may will feel the
viberation on your controller when a fish takes a bite.
"CLOSE TO THE FISHES" - When you walk around nearby the water, you'll notice
the dark fish-shaped things in the water. Obviously, those are fishes. So you
need to stand next to them, and throw your hook at them so they can swim to
the hook and take a bite. When you're at the beach, you are unable to see any
fishes, so good way to spot them, is hold down "X" for few seconds, then
release "X"... A hook will fly, and the camera will follow your hook. So from
there, you can search for any fishes in the beach, and then move to that spot.
DO NOT FRIGHTEN THE FISH
Whatever you do, do not land your hook directly on the fish, or too close to
the fish. Otherwise, the fish will get scared and disappear. It will appear
after a few seconds.
THE CURRENT MOVEMENT
All water (except the ponds) will move your hook in one direction, it is due
to the current movement. You can take use this, and place your hook in the
current where it'll take you to the fish. So this way, quicker fishing without
worrying about frightening the fishes by landing a hook too close.
FISH'S MOVEMENT
I find it to be more difficult to fish for those fishes who move a lot,
especially those that go in the circle pattern. You will be better off by
fishing with those fishes that only go forward and backward. That way, you
don't have to worry about the fish straying too far from your hook.
==============================================================================
002. FISHING POLE
==============================================================================
You start with the Iron Fishing Pole. But after you catch about hundred fishes
or so, your fishing pole will be at the copper level. You can head to Sunny
Lake, and Ray will reward you with the Copper Fishing Pole.
From there, you can upgrade your Fishing Pole to certain level. You do not
have to upgrade it one by one. You can skip some levels.
----------------------------------------------
| 1 Level = Iron Fishing Pole = No Ore |
| 2 Level = Copper Fishing Pole = Copper Ore |
| 3 Level = Silver Fishing Pole = Silver Ore |
| 4 Level = Gold Fishing Pole = Gold Ore |
| 5 Level = H.G. Fishing Pole = Rare Metal |
----------------------------------------------
(To upgrade your H.G. Fishing Pole, you need to max the fishing pole's meter.)
WHAT IS DIFFERENCE OF THE "X" FISHING POLES?
I was experimenting with types of the fishing pole, and so far, I don't see
any notable impacts on the fishing pole. All fishing poles can catch any
fishes, including the fish kings. Yes, you can catch the fish king with the
Iron Fishing Pole. Only difference is the fish's weight. When you upgrade your
fishing pole, you'll be able to reel in the heavier fishes. But it doesn't
mean you can catch the tunas more often than other fishes. Chances of catching
the certain fishes remains same. Only difference is the fish you catch will
be heavier, nothing more.
So far I can see, upgrading your Fishing Pole is pretty useless. It isn't
worth it. If you want to upgrade your Fishing Pole, then by all means.
==============================================================================
003. FISHING LOCATIONS
==============================================================================
This section is all about where to fish. There are eleven locations where you
can fish, and those locations hold different fishes. But for now, I'll explain
where are those locations.
There is a map in your game, just access to it in the menu. It's useful to
find where is the location I listed here, especially names of the bridges.
-------------------------------LONG RIVER-------------------------------------
There is a river in Flower Bud Village, and it's divided in four sections.
High River, Upstream River, Midstream River, and Downstream River. Each part
holds different fishes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| NAMES | LOCATION |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| High River* | Above the Suspension Bridge. It is located in the mountain|
| | and near the Harvest Goddess Spring. To get there, just |
| | enter the Mountain, and head west. You'll see the bridge. |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Upstream | Between the Suspension Bridge and Duck Bridge. It is |
| | located north of Woody's Workshop. |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Midstream | Between Duck Bridge and Encounter Bridge. It is located |
| | under of Blue Sky Ranch. |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Downstream | Between the Encounter Bridge and Sunset Bridge. It is |
| | located west of the Junk Shop. |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
All locations under is not related to the river
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Stardrop Pond | It is located northeastern of Sunny Lake. It is a small |
| | pond with one, circling fish in it. |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Sunny Lake | It is located far west. Just keep walking west, and on a |
| | road, and you'll be there. |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Underground Lake| It is located in very deep of the Lake Mine, at 100 level.|
| | Walk over Sunny Lake when it's frozen solid during winter |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Beach | It is located far south. If you're standing on the bright |
| | sand, that's the beach. The pier also counts as the beach |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Delta | It is located south of the Sunset Bridge, above the ocean |
| | It's little spot, but you can fish at shores of delta. |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Southern Water | It is located at the island. More details under. |
| Northern Water | It is located at the island. More details under. |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*-High River is not official name. I made it up since I do not know of its
real name.
SOUTHERN WATER / NORTHERN WATER
The island is far south of the beach. To get there, you will have to ride on
the dolphin at the pier. But you'll have to increase the dolphin's heart up
to one. Then it'll let you ride on it to the island.
The island is divided in two parts. Some fishes stay north of the island,
while other fishes stay south of the island. Reason why it is different is
because the north water is close to the beach, while the south water is close
to the open seas.
Northern Water covers the north water, but it also covers the west water.
To fish in the northern water, just stand at the pier, or at edge of the
island, heading in direction of north.
Southern Water covers the south water, but it also covers the east water.
To fish in the southern water, just stand at the island's edge, facing the
south.

005. FISH GIFTS FOR VILLAGERS
==============================================================================
This section is all about the villagers' reaction to the fish gifts. However,
the fish recipes will not be included in this section. It's only the raw
fishes used as the gifts. Maybe, in future, I'll add in the fish recipes.
The villagers have four different reactions when they get the gift from you,
and they are...
"LOVE" is when you hand a fish to the villager, the three hearts will appear
above the villager's head. It means s/he loves your gift.
"LIKE" is when you hand a fish to the villager, the green stitch will appear
above the villager's head. It means s/he likes your gift.
"SO-SO" is when you hand a fish to the village, no icon will appear
above the villager's head. But s/he will accept your gift anyway.
"HATE" is when you hand a fish to the villager, but s/he refuses to take your
gift. It means s/he hates your gift.
But for now, there are only "LIKE" and "SO-SO" in this section because I still
haven't discover the raw fishes that villagers love or hate.
