Bite Club: Fishing

New: daily goals, a login streak and angler ranks, three new places (Murray River, Billabong, Alpine Tarn) and a style locker for your rod, reel and float.

Pick up your phone and go fishing.

Bite Club is a realistic, first-person fishing game you play with your hands. Swing your phone to cast. Watch the float. When it dips, flick to strike. Then tap to reel and tilt against the fish as it runs. Every catch is a fight you win with your own timing.

HOW IT PLAYS

• Cast with a real swing: the harder and smoother you throw, the further it goes.
• Wait for the bite, strike at the right moment, then steer and reel to wear the fish down before the line snaps or it spools you.
• Choose your bait: different fish go for different baits, so read the water and pick well.
• Keep it or release it. Release a fish and you get a small bonus. Keep it and sell it at the map for more.

PLACES AND FISH

• The Lake: still water and a big sky. Rainbow trout, Australian bass and carp.
• The Mountain Stream: cold, fast water with brown and rainbow trout and greedy redfin.
• The River Estuary: wide, slow, murky water with yellowfin bream, eel-tailed catfish and the prize barramundi.
• The Murray River: slow green water under old gums. Murray cod, golden perch and silver perch.
• The Billabong: still, tea-coloured water at sunset. Saratoga, long-finned eels and barramundi.
• The Alpine Tarn: a cold, clear mountain pool. Brook, rainbow and brown trout and Macquarie perch.

PLAY BY THE RULES There are daily bag limits and minimum sizes. Keep an undersized fish or go over your limit and the fishing inspector may pay you a visit, and a fine will follow. Fish smart.

COME BACK EVERY DAY

• Three daily goals, easy, medium and hard, that pay coins and XP. Finish all three for a bonus.
• A 7-day login streak with bigger rewards as it builds.
• Angler ranks from Tiddler Chaser to Bite Club Legend, with a coin reward at every rank.
• The Daily Dash: a one-hour ranked mini-tournament most evenings, plus the weekly Saturday Showdown.

MAKE IT YOURS Earn coins and rank to unlock rod finishes, reels, floats, line colours and bait boxes. Style only: nothing you buy or unlock changes how the game plays or gives an edge in tournaments.

BUILD YOUR KIT Earn coins from your catches and spend them on better rods, lines and reels, and on opening new places on the world map.

COMPETE

• Leaderboards for the biggest fish, the longest fight and the longest cast, with a fair board where everyone uses standard gear.
• The Saturday Showdown: a free weekly tournament. Heaviest fish at the Lake wins. Everyone fishes with the same standard gear, and the best anglers win coin prizes.
• Catches that count for rankings are verified, so the boards stay honest.

FREE TO PLAY Bite Club is free and every place and piece of gear can be earned just by playing. You can watch an optional video for free coins, and you will see an occasional ad between catches. Optional purchases let you remove ads, open places sooner or buy coins. Nothing you buy gives an advantage in tournaments.

YOUR PROGRESS IS SAFE You play with an anonymous player account. There is no sign-up, and your progress is backed up so you can pick up on a new phone. You can delete your data any time from the Account screen.

Wet a line and join the club.
