To me, there is nothing I like more than a quiet afternoon out on the boat fishing for big mouths with my friends. Sadly, with life in the big city, I don’t really have the chance to get out on the lake too often. Luckily, Shockwave has Big Mouth Bass 3D: a very fun 3-D fishing game that is sure to bring out your inner angler.
For this episode of Tricks and Tips, I will take you out on the water with a couple of helpful hints that will help you reel in those lunkers.
In Big Mouth Bass 3D, there are a couple key factors that will help you get bigger fish, faster.
Location: In this game you may see a few fish out in the open, but the key for catching trophy bass is to find the big ones. The only way you can do that is to test the waters. With a variety of fishing spots available, you’ll want to figure out which fish are biting where. Try each of the spots several times and throw your lure all over the place. This will help you when you play in tournament mode and you need to find the big fish fast.
Equipment: Lure selection is vital in this game. Use the wrong bait in the wrong spot and the fish will just look away. Just like with your locations, test out the different lures and figure out which ones perform where you are fishing. Remember that the lures are all weighted differently, so you may need a heavier guy to get the fish that like to hang out near the bottom.
Find your Fish: The easiest way to find fish in this game is to spot them before you cast. Often times you will see small groups of bass swimming together. Throwing your lure into these groups greatly improves your chance for a bite!
Technique: What really separates the pros from the Joes in fishing is the technique the angler uses when hooking and reeling in his or her catch. This remains true in Big Mouth Bass 3D as well. It’s vital that you hook 
the bass quickly to have any chance of bringing it out of the water. Practice this by quickly pulling your mouse back. Once that becomes second nature, you will find yourself getting a lot more fish on the line.
Finally, be sure to keep an eye on your tension after you have hooked your fish, and have patience when you are reeling. Too much tension on the line will mean more fish getting away!
I hope you found my tips helpful and I’ll see you out on the water!
