- IIA. How to Fish -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some people think this is a bit tricky at first, so be patient, and you will
get the hang of it _VERY_ soon. Here are a few simple steps to follow:
*Walk up to a pond and press the (X) button to start fishing (Fishing Rod _MUST_
be in your inventory)
*Don't forget to bait the hook by pressing the () button and choosing bait from
your inventory.
*Walk to a spot where you'd like to cast, and press (X)
*When your bobber goes ALL THE WAY UNDER, press (X) to reel the fish in (the
DUALSHOCK helps a LOT, make sure you have vibration ON).
*If a fish nibbles your bait, but doesn't bring it under, _IMMEDIATELY_ pull in
your line. Otherwise the fish will eat your bait and you will be baitless and
fishless.

- IIB. Getting a Fishing Rod -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This can be a fairly simple task, and there is no Gilda (Dark Cloud currency)
involved. To get the Fishing Rod, simply follow these instructions:
1.) Collect the following Atla:
- Alnet's House - Cabin
- Lamp - Stairway
- Llama - Alnet
- Carl
2.) Assemble this Atla (in Norune Village), and place the house anywhere you
like. Go in, and an event will take place where Alnet gives you a Fishing Rod.

- IIC. Different Types of Bait -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are several types of fishing bait, and surprisingly enough, Bomb Nuts
are one of them. If you are going for the best score, make sure to save those
Poisonous Apples, because the Mardan Garayans can easily net you big points.
Below are types of bait and what they can catch:
____________________________________________________________

- IID. Fish Chart (according to pond) -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most fish can only be caught in certain ponds, and the Mardan Garayan can
only be caught at dusk. I have made another ASCII chart for each pond saying
what kind of fish are available using what bait.
