Basics
Getting a Fish to Bite
In the tutorial, they recommended to try to be random. Do not simply hold the reel button since it will pull it too far away from the fish. Short random taps of the reel button (R2) works for most fish. Some fish like to chase and will follow if you hold R2 down.
Catching a Fish once It Bit
A fish will do three things, turn direction and splash around and jump. When it turns direction quickly turn to the direction it is facing with the on screen prompt. Try not to reel when it is splashing around. You can try tapping the reel button if you want.
When it jumps out of a water it’s a quick time event, follow the on screen prompt. Usually after the QTE, it will sometimes turn direction then a rest period where you can reel. As the fish gets closer to you it is more likely to turn, there is an auto-turn boundary. When it is far, it will move farther left and right. Closer, it will have a smaller range. Just try not to reel when it is turning or splashing. I noticed though tapping the reel button gets the rod to turn faster, experiment with that.
