Fish Flingers

Playing the Game

 

During each game, the six different fish will be split between four fishing locations. Each location will have up to two types of fish, but no less than one.

 

The different fishing spots are as follows:

 

Docks -West-

Docks -East-

Lake

River

Beach

 

 

Both docks have the same fish/combos,renaming them 'docks' may help make this clear to those who are new to the game

 

 

Casting Range

Last comes the casting range, determined by the line weight. There is no shortcut to finding the best weight - simply begin with a range of 1 and add weight until the best rating is found.

 

I'm assuming this means that a similar weight has no effect on the catch percentage,if so then this is incorrect. A weight that is close (1 above or below current eg ranges 2+4 are close to range 3) will increase rating by 16%,so this can be used to determine the weight similar to the way you determine bait.

 

 

Medals and Scoring

 

After completing a game of Fish Flingers, players are awarded Fishing experience, fish tokens and medals based on their score.

 

Medals are not based on score but the factors that are already stated in the guide.

 

Xp is also capped at a 40k score(you earn max xp for your level at 40k score),the xp is highest at level 62 (just under 20k),before slowly decreasing to ~17k at lvl 99

 

 

 

Didn't see this anywhere but you can ask the fishman for a hint before you start the competition,it should be the second option "do you have any advice about the fish?" if you have played fish flingers before,you must do this before he teleports you to the competition. The hint will consist of 4 parts,3 of which are important,there will be type of fish(eg king),fish species(eg.cod),then a location and either a bait,hook or weight hint. The type of fish is not needed,it merely tells you the location of the fish(which is in the hint anyway)

 

Hint translations:

Bait

Bown wriggling=maggot

Red wriggling=worm

leaping green=locust

leaping brown=cricket

fluttering grey=greymoth

fluttering green=greenmoth

Red shellfish=shrimp

Grey shellfish=crayfish

 

Hook (for double and standard hooks he says 'a double hook will work best' or 'a normal hook will work fine')

Large mouth=large hook

Double=double hook

Small mouth=slim

Normal=standard

Can spot metal from a mile off=Bone or wood hook(there is no hint that seperates them)

 

Weights

Close to shore=ranges 1 or 2

Far but not too far=ranges 3 or 4 (this looks very similar to the range 5/6/7 clue,be sure to check carefully)

Far from shore,attach alot of weights to reach them=ranges 5,6 or 7

 

These aren't the full hints,I have taken out everything that is not needed to translate the clue (type,species,location and any other pointless stuff he adds)

 

 

Not sure if all of this is necessary in a guide but figured I would put it all down anyway.
