The longer the line the slower and smoother the action needs to be.<br /><br />Bigger fish can be further out and more easily spooked.<br /><br />But I also like the idea of a daily challenge; Today's challenge is to catch the biggest carp... Competitors then have all day to compete for the Specimen Cup (which they then keep on their phone's trophy cabinet).<br /><br />Probably need to work out the mechanics of the game before the details.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282379823630036037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997330909934674747.post-34606852067974884742013-01-04T14:27:07.363+00:002013-01-04T14:27:07.363+00:00Yes, for something really British, bring in the tw...Yes, for something really British, bring in the tweed brigade: upstream dry fly flyfishing! The character(s) wade in a chalkstream and cast to various game or coarse fish (trout, grayling, salmon,...chub? ...) in front of him/her. Bad/clumbsy casts scare the fish away, so you have to move on to the next spot upstream... Insects flying around give you a clue for choosing the best fly... <br />ollienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997330909934674747.post-68508705358912764062013-01-03T20:07:24.029+00:002013-01-03T20:07:24.029+00:00Yeah, was thinking match fishing or fly-fishing, n...Yeah, was thinking match fishing or fly-fishing, need to keep the game quite short though - app generation, like me, has no attention span!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282379823630036037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997330909934674747.post-57196391138761360142013-01-03T20:05:55.412+00:002013-01-03T20:05:55.412+00:00I like the idea of competition between all the pla...I like the idea of competition between all the players, not sure about bass tournament idea though - been done and I'd quite like the new game to be quite British / European.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282379823630036037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997330909934674747.post-87257478624045217802012-12-21T19:37:39.084+00:002012-12-21T19:37:39.084+00:00I like the idea of a float fishing game, watching ...I like the idea of a float fishing game, watching the float dive under next to some lily pads might be good.

To catch a fish you need to i) cast close to the fish; ii) reel it in skilfully (neither too fast, nor too slow, or line will break). Points awarded according to fish species and (trophy) size/weight…. Maybe also angling matches (against other fishermen – played by the computer?) a possibility, as well as different environments (freshwater, sea, tropical,…) with different species of fish.ollienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997330909934674747.post-29506369276530467742012-12-21T14:13:10.816+00:002012-12-21T14:13:10.816+00:00Remember; a puppy is not just for Christmas, somet...Remember; a puppy is not just for Christmas, sometimes they last for weeks...Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282379823630036037noreply@blogger.com
