FAQ
How often do I need to change my lures
Change your lures once a day. After too much exposure to the sun, lures will lose their effectiveness.
To fish, you will need a Bobber
Yes. You use a bobber to prevent the bait from moving when you are fishing. There are two parts of a bobber, the float or the line. To cast a lure, attach the hook to one end of the line. Then, pull the rod out and release the line. If you don't use a bobber, the lure may sink into the water, which makes it difficult for the fish to bite.
Do I need special permits to fish?

Can I fish during the day or night?
