Fishing is often a five-tick activity. Performing a three-tick activity, similar to three-tick mining, allows a player to obtain a fish every three ticks rather than every five ticks. This provides an advantage to players who want to avoid wasting time, but cannot afford to wait the full five minutes between bites. Triple ticking works by catching three fish in a row. To do this, you need access to all three fish at once. For example, if there's a shark in one corner and a swordfish in another, you can't double-tap them because they're only available on separate taps. But if there's a third fish visible in the center of the screen that belongs to neither species, then you can triple-tap it to catch all three at once. The triple-tap action is performed by holding down the tap button for two seconds. This will open up a menu which will show any available fish. You can then choose which one to eat by looking at it or by listening for its splash. If you make a mistake and select the wrong fish, just keep tapping until you get it right. Once you've selected the correct fish, release all three by waiting five seconds before repeating the triple-tap sequence.
