Fishing the Deep

Big fish · small boat · terrible odds

Everybody in Cojímar has seen Nessie, a 20,000 lb blue marlin. Nobody has caught her. How many days will it take you?

Common questions

Is it free?
Yes. The whole voyage, Nessie included, is free with no ads and no timers. Optional one-time purchases add the research submarine, the bait for the thing in the Trench, or a suitcase of cash.
I bought something. How do I get it back on a new device?
Open the pause menu, tap Captain’s Locker, then Restore purchases. Make sure you’re signed in with the same Apple ID.
How do I move my voyage to a new iPhone or iPad?
Your progress backs up to iCloud every night and whenever you leave the app. On the new device, sign in to iCloud, open the game and tap Restore from iCloud on the title screen (or Pause › iCloud backup).
What does “Boosted” mean on the leaderboard?
Voyages that bought the ten million (or dove in the sub before catching Nessie) are ranked on their own board, so free captains compete fair and square.
My phone gets warm.
Pause › Settings › Graphics › Battery saver runs the game at 30 frames per second without bloom.
Can I use a controller?
Yes. A casts and reels, X finds fish, Y heads home, B releases, the sticks steer and set the throttle, and Menu pauses.
