How to reel in your catch
Once the fish starts to nibble the bobber—and it can nibble up to five times—you can watch and listen for clues that it’s time to reel it in. Press the A Button right when the bobber goes under, making a “kerplunk” sound. Timing is everything, so be careful not to reel in too soon. If you pull the bobber back in before it goes under, then the fish will swim away.
