4. CATCHING THE BIG BASS!

** Finding a good spot on the lake
How good you do depends on where you fish. Read the tips at the beginning of each
tournament to see where you should be fishing. Key places are under docks, in weeds,
under bridges, and under falling trees.

** Casting
Once you get the Ranger Bass boat, it will be a simple matter of driving up to the fish
and casting with 9% power. However, if you still have the ol' clunky boat, you'll have to
cast from further away. Practice in "Fish For Fun" mode before you enter the major tournies.
Pull back on the control stick to raise the power percentage for your cast.

** Reeling
Once you work your way up to the lakes with the big bass, the fish will begin to put up a fight.
the best thing to do if you're a beginner is to try one of the cheats, which are specified in the
next section. If you're against cheating, try to get enough money to buy as many lures as you
can. Use rattlers to lure stubborn bass out from under docks and out from deep grass. Or use
use the "Super Lure" for just about any time at all (Enter your cheat as SUPERLURE). Jerk your
lure with the control stick to make the fish look like dying prey.

A lot of times the fish will get away, so it helps to get the Ranger Bass boat and be able to
drive right up to the bass. Even then, the big fish can get over 100 feet away from the boat. Be
patient!

** Make sure it's bass
There are other fish in the lakes besides bass. The catfish are the long ones with dark colors on
top and white on the bottom. There are others also. Learn to recognize bass, and if the fish on
the end of your line isn't one, press R to let it go and save you some precious bass-fishing time.

------------------------------------------------------
5. Q & A

Q: The other fish keep on biting the lure. How can I get the bass?
A: Try adjusting your cast so you land closer to the bass before the other fish can get there.
Another strategy would be to try a different approach with your boat.

Q: What do the penalties mean?
A: You will get penalties if you cast on land, switch lakes, or pull away from a fish using R
after you have it hooked. Be careful not do to any of these when your time is almost up.

Q: What difference do the weather and water conditions make?
A: The fish will hide under objects in warm water to find shade. In summer, the bass are
hungry and are more likely to bite. Try different strategies in different seasons and
water conditions.

Noah's Ark... If it happened today

And the Lord spoke to Noah and said, "In six months I'm going to make it rain until the whole earth is covered with water and all the evil people are destroyed. But I want to save a few good people, and two of every kind of living thing on the planet. I am commanding you to build an Ark."

And in a flash of lightning, He delivered the specifications for an Ark. "Okay," said Noah, trembling with fear and fumbling with the blueprints.

"Six months, and it starts to rain," thundered the Lord. "You'd better have the Ark completed, or learn to swim for a very long time."

Six months passed, the skies clouded up and rain began to fall. The Lord saw that Noah was sitting in his front yard, weeping. ..... and there was no Ark.

"Noah," shouted the Lord, "Where is the Ark?"

"Lord, please forgive me!" begged Noah. "I did my best. But there were big problems. First, I had to get a building permit for the Ark construction project, and your plans didn't meet code. So I had to hire an engineer to re- draw the plans. Then I got into a big fight over whether or not the Ark needed a fire sprinkler system.

"Then my neighbor objected, claiming I was violating zoning by building the Ark in my front yard, so I had to get a variance from the city planning commission.

"Then I had problems getting enough wood for the Ark, because there was a ban on cutting trees to save the Spotted Owl. I had to convince the U.S. Fish and Wildlife that I need the wood to save the Owls. But they wouldn't let me catch any owls. So, no owls.

"The carpenters formed a union and went out on strike. I had to negotiate a settlement with the National Labor Relations Board before anyone would pick up a saw or hammer. Now we have sixteen carpenters going on the boat, and still no owls.

"Then I started gathering up animals, and got sued by an animal rights group. They objected to me taking only two of each kind.

"Just when I got the suit dismissed, EPA notified me that I couldn't complete the Ark without filing an environmental impact statement on your proposed flood. They didn't take kindly to the idea that they had no jurisdiction over the conduct of a Supreme Being.

"Then the Army Corp of Engineers wanted a map of the proposed new flood plain. I sent them a globe.

"Right now, I'm still trying to resolve a complaint from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over how many Croatians I'm supposed to hire. The IRS has seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to avoid paying taxes by leaving the country. And I just got a notice from the state about owing them some kind of use tax. I really don't think I can finish the Ark for at least another five years," Noah wailed.

The sky began to clear. The sun began to shine. A rainbow arched across the sky. Noah looked up and smiled.

"You mean you're not going to destroy the earth?" Noah asked hopefully.

"No," said the Lord sadly. "The government already has."
