Shaking: Once your bobber is in the water, click or tap the "click" buttons that pop up on your screen. Doing this attracts fish significantly faster. Reeling (The Mini-Game): When an exclamation mark (!) pops up, a fish has bitten. A mini-game slider will appear. Click and hold (or tap and hold) to move your white bar to the right, and let go to let it slide back to the left. You can also spam your Spacebar on PC instead of clicking. Keep the white bar tracking directly underneath the moving fish icon until the progress bar at the bottom fills up completely.
