Okay. Here we go. Step-by-step. This is just a general guide for those beginners who can't entirely grab the concept of fishing, and how to fish.
Preparing: 1. Go to Logan's store. This is named "The Ole Fishing Hole". It is the building at the bottom-left of Bass'ken Lake, the map just north of Barton Town. 2. Once inside you can buy bait and rods. The rest we'll get to later. The left shelf contains bait. For starters, we'll just fish with grade F. The shelf in the middle contains rods. For a beginner you only need a basic rod. Buy 1 grade F bait (25g) and a basic rod (100g).
Starting up the game: 1. Go to a lake. Each lake has a difficulty. The three lakes are Bass'ken Lake (easy), Port of Gambino (medium), and Durem Reclamation Facility (hard). We'll just fish at Bass'ken for now. Go to Bass'ken Lake, mouseover the water, and click the image in the middle that reads "Fishing" (if you just click the water you'll be forwarded to the Gaia homepage instead). 2. Once the game window pops up, you'll be able to select what bait you want to play with. Select the grade F bait you bought earlier. A new page should load with the game. You need the latest Flash player for this. Once the game loads, press the "Start game" button.
Once in game screen: 1. Click the arrows at the bottom-right to select your rod (if you have more than one). 2. When you have the rod you want to use, click once to start powering up your cast. The little bar in the middle of the bottom of the screen will have a little bar sliding up and down it. 3. Click again to cast out your rod. The closer the bar is to MAX, the further your rod will cast. Different rods have different casting distances. 4. Wait for a fish to be hooked. 5. Once a fish is hooked it will say so, a large ! sign popping up in the middle of your screen. The fishing screen will also shake slightly. The fishing screen is the view at the bottom-right. The left view has your map and bucket and the top view just has your avatar sitting on a wharf. 6. After your fish is hooked, it will automatically start being reeled in. Keep it between the red lines or it will escape. You can do this by countering its movements. When it swims left you pull it right, and vice versa. You can pull a fish right by moving your cursor towards the right of the fishing screen, and to the left by moving your cursor towards the left of the fishing screen. The further towards that side of the screen you move your cursor, the harder you will pull the fish in that direction. 7. If you successfully reel in the fish, it will show up on your screen showing its picture, name, and description, then go into your bucket (the 18 squares at the bottom-left of the screen). You can also catch junk. 8. After you have caught 18 fish, your bucket is full. Your catches will save. Do not exit the window, the window will automatically exit after your catches are saved.
In Logan's Store / After Fishing: 1. If you still have bait to spare you can play again. Otherwise, go back to Logan's store. 2. Once in Logan's store, you can sell your fish if you want to sell them. You can do this the same way you sell items to stores. Below the store view, all your fish are listed, your fishing rods, and your bait if you have any. Click on a fish thumbnail if you want to sell it, type in the quantity of that fish you want to sell in the textbox that pops up, and click the "Sell" button. You cannot sell more fish than you have. 3. If you want, you can save up your fish to exchange them for hats. For normal fish you need 100 of that fish for its item. Rares need 10. Cans need 5000, boots need 1000 and tires need 500. Click the "Exchange Fish" sign at the top-left of the store view. If you have enough fish you will be given the option to exchange them for items. 4. You can also upgrade your rod. This will enhance its pulling strength, casting distance, and its distance between the red lines (range). The further you cast, the rarer fish you can catch (however actual rares can be caught anywhere).
That about sums it up.
