Net Fishing
Net Fishing drops you behind the wheel of a sturdy trawler on the open sea. Your mission is simple: read the water, spot the shimmer of fish schools, and release your net at just the right spot. But the ocean isn't yours alone—rocky outcrops, tangled wrecks, and hungry predators lurk below, ready to tear your gear or send your catch swimming away. Success depends on learning the rhythms of each species and picking your moments with care. As you build your hauls, you'll earn upgrades that broaden your nets and strengthen your hull. The deeper you venture, the more exotic the fish—and the greater the risk. Every trip is a fresh calculation of reward versus danger. With patience and a steady hand, you'll master the currents and turn every cast into a worthy expedition.

What is Net Fishing
Take the helm of your fishing boat and chase the biggest hauls the deep sea can offer. Weigh every toss of the net against the hazards that hide beneath the waves.
How to Play
Steer your boat using the arrow keys or on-screen controls, then press the action button to release your net when you're positioned over a school of fish. Avoid rocks and predators that can damage your gear or scatter your catch.
Tips for Playing
- Wait for fish to gather into dense clusters before casting your net.
- Watch for shadows on the water’s surface—they reveal where predators lurk.
- Upgrade your net’s size early to catch multiple fish in one sweep.
- Take a moment to study each fish’s movement pattern before diving in.
- Don’t risk a risky cast near rocks; a torn net costs more than a missed school.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my net hits a rock?
Your net will tear and need repair, which costs coins. It’s better to avoid rocks entirely by steering clear until you’ve upgraded your hull.
Are there different types of fish to catch?
Yes, each species has its own value and behavior. Some are slow and easy, while others are fast or only appear in deeper water.
How do I earn coins?
You earn coins based on the total weight and rarity of the fish you bring in. Higher-value fish appear in riskier areas, so balance risk and reward.
Can I upgrade my boat?
Absolutely. You can buy larger nets, stronger hulls, and better engines to reach deeper waters and withstand more damage.
Is there a time limit for each trip?
No, you can stay out as long as you like, but your hull has limited health. If it depletes, you’ll return to port with what you’ve caught so far.
What should I do if predators attack?
Speed away or release a decoy if you’ve unlocked it. Never fight them head-on, as they can damage your boat quickly.
