DEVELOPER NOTES:
-To anyone that says they can't find fish, drive your boat north until you reach deeper water, then drive east or west to look for cover. Smaller fish will stay around weeds, logs, or rocks while bigger fish will randomly cruise around in the deep open areas. The ocean is a lot bigger than the lakes in the original game and requires more exploration. Good luck!

Community Insight:
This game is the worst first we cast so hard and the bait just goes right next to us who ever made this game there a bad operator Plus way to many bugs.
This is a very good game we love it.
This is the game for u if u want to fish but can't go out on the water thank u for this awesome game.
This game is the best. If u want to fish but can't in real life get this game. So so so so so so so so so so awesome.
Great game we love to go fishing and we can't get out to go to some water this game is as close to real fishing as we can get love it.
It would be 5 stars, but the fish photo doesn't show enough of the fish. It was better a few years ago.
Absolutely hooked- no pun intended! This game is great! We can't stop playing.
Love all the ifishing apps. But did you ever consider making an ifishing Long Island edition. We have fished there many times. They have everything fluke, flounder, stripe bass, bluefish, sea bass,sand shark,porgies, black fish. And many places to fish the sound ocean and bay. Also the surf. But u could let the person chose where and how they want to fish. They could fish with lures, bait live or dead.(clams,squid,spearing,eel, etc) just something to consider. We think it would be cool.
Brings the competitor and everyone And highly addictive.
Been a real fisherman for 30 yrs. The original version of this game was a relaxing simulation. This version is unrealistc and aggravating. Your line always breaks or the fish always 'gets away from you'. They revamped it to be a challenging but unrealistic game for a plethora of geeks that probably never have gone or will go deep sea fishing. If you love fishing pass on this. Save your money.
Great game! Wish there were more fishing destinations. Good scenery and special effects. Great fishing fun! Definitely recommend.
Title says it all. Best, and most challenging fishing game out there. The multiplayer is fun, and the tournament modes are as well. We wish we could manually turn off the "Guide" voice. Other than that great game.
This is bs 99%of the time fish either get off the hook or break the line.
It says it has iPhone 5 support and retina display support. Well it's def no retina display. And does not use our full iPhone 5 screen. Our friend on the galaxy has full screen and beautiful picture.
We fishing one is great. We recently purchased we fishing 2 and on the level for catch Blue Shark it tell us that we caught a big one when it does not even over a pound. We can not catch anything over .85 Lbs.
Keeps you on your toes fun if you fish the neighbor lady found it before us and have played for 3 years now. The only gaming app we don't cycle off the phone.
Good game to help pass time through out the day :D.
Excellent game,have had hours of fun.
We have too much fun catching these fish.
It has a lot of places you can fish at.you are so exited when you have a fish.it's a mystery in till, BOOM! It's right in your face we're telling you, GET THE GAME NOW.
This game is cool that u can like change a bunch of lures and stuff.
Awesome game especially when you can't get a fishing license for real.
This is the best fishing app ever! It is very realistic yet, easy to catch the fish. It gives you decisions of whether or not to keep the fish, choose different lures… It is fun, get it.
Need more tutorials on different fish but abesolutely enjoy it.
Good app has room for improvement.
Fun game to pass the time. Our 10 year old daughter loves it too.
Great game can't put it down after lunchtime! Ideal! Time of day, other fisherman in area to follow on hot leads. If you keep it show fish landing in boat.
We have lots of fun playing and e-mailing the pics. You have done a good thing! Thank You , continue please ! A world edition maybe.
This game is the close to the best crashes once or twice a month if you play it enough but it is a good game in the end.
Well with the money and try the Freshwater Version.
How do we catch Fish that are in THe Deep like 182 ft.
Great game where can we go to see All time biggest fish records for ifishing or ifishing SE.
This is a great fishing game! Our fianc,our son,and ourselves will sit around a table and compete against each other. Our youngest entertains himself with driving the boat all over. A great game for all ages :).
It is the best fishing game ever.
Love this game so much!!! We would recommend it to anybody if all ages. We caught a 961 lbs. Fish in practice!!! We were like WOAH!!! But yeah it is very addicting.
Play everyday be dead without it.
We love this game, we would recommend this game for the whole fam, even our wife loves it, our four year old is a pro.
Great game. We play it all the time.
Best game in the AppStore. Most realistic fishing game we've played.
We loveee this fishing game. It's awesome! We play all the time and really enjoy it.
Great game , but getting weeds in 180 ft water is stupid. We do deep sea fish and never seen weeds that deep.
Cool game 2 play! We play it almost everyday! Recommend to every fisherman & fishergals.
Hey,it's Dave your fishing buddy.LOL.
Very fun game in most aspects. Can be frustrating though when you fight a fish that pulls drag and tension on the line is maxed during the battle, only to find it's a mere 1 pound fish…pretty unrealistic especially when the next minute you pull in a 1000 pounder with less resistance.
We enjoy the game a lot, but Tarpon and Swordfish really shouldn't be caught in the same area. Better species realism would be neat.
So much fun our mom had to force us to stop.
It is the best game ever but doodle jump is better.
Needs more fish/sharks like great whites and makos and exotic fish but it's good.
Great app, let's hope they add even more options in the future.
We enjoy playing this game very much. Great way to waste some time.
