How to fish in Coral Island
Once you have a Fishing Pole, you can start putting it to good use and catching some fish. To start, select your Fishing Pole from your toolbar, approach some water, and holdM1orRTto toss your line in. The numbers in the meter indicate at what strength you will toss it and how far it will extend.
When the line is in the water, it’s time to wait until a fish bites. You will see the fish’s shadow approach the line in the water, but wait until it fully bites on before reeling; otherwise, you can scare it away. As the fish bites on, you can begin reeling it back toward you by holdingM1orRTagain. However, you will only want to hold the reel button when the fish is not straining on your line. Thewavy linesabove and below the meter indicate the strain on your line and how close it is to breaking. Only pull when the fish is calm; you will reel it in quicker and avoid damaging your line. Once the fish reaches the checkmark on the meter, you will pull it out of the water and catch it!
