Unable to fish

[Simon]

Anybody having trouble fishing? I have tried it several time, but the fish will not move from its position. After several attempts I had to quite because it hurt the arms after reeling for 30 minutes.

So you hook the fish and try to reel it in, but it stays in the same spot?

Yes I hooked the fish and have been reeling, but it’ stays in the same spot.

It's not gonna reel in if it's fighting you.  As soon as you hook it, it fights you, so you don't reel just yet, you move left stick left/ right to fight back and tire it out.  Once it tires out and the controller stops vibrating (assuming you haven't turned off vibrate), then you start reeling in.  Usually, it starts fighting again at least once before you get it in, so you have to stop reeling and tire it out again.  Repeat until you have your fish.

I did the same thing...20 minutes same spot...lol...I was turning the R counterclockwise instead of clockwise.....the R at the bottom of the screen should move with you.  If that helps

And yeah the direction feels "wrong", in other games i played before  i had to turn counter clockwise.
