Newcomers and fishing minigame

[esamo]

Hi

I've seen a lot of new players having same troubles with fishing.
First problem is caused by phrasing that you need to keep the green bar 'behind' the fish and they try to keep it below the fish which does not work. Maybe rephrase this to say: keep the green bar "on" the fish?
Second problem is that they try to quickly repeatedly press the button instead of holding it and give up this minigame as it renders it very hard.

Cheers

I didnt had such trouble and I think there are a lot of video tutorials meanwhile for everybody having trouble.
But for those who dont look into the internet for help - there could be a short explanation from Willy when getting the Bamboo Pole...

I didn't have that problem either, and since you can't fail the first catch, during it you can probably figure out that keeping the bar below the fish doesn't work.

I like this, could also account for the second point, except 'tapping' and 'holding' would need to be rephrased to fit Willy not knowing he's inside a game.

I actually very much prefer repeatedly tapping the button quickly rather than holding down, otherwise you’ll fly up and down and bounce out of control. Quick taps is how it’s done. It certainly has taken me many many hours of practice to nail it down. My first play through years ago, I hated every second of fishing. Today I played the fishing mini game basically all day, it’s awesome once you master it.
