Hey everyone! I’m an older PS4 player trying to improve my fishing skills in the game. My left thumb isn’t moving as quickly as I’d like, probably due to age. I’m looking for tips on how to make fishing easier or any tricks that might help with catching those big ones!

If you can maintain a clear view of the bobber, you’ll notice which direction it’s pulling, giving you a slight advantage in moving quickly in the correct direction.
Hey! A great tip is to use the left and right d-pad instead of the thumbstick to adjust the catch zone. Having chronic hand pain myself, this method made things so much simpler than rotating the thumbstick all the time.
I totally get it, fellow old-timer! What works for me is just being patient and grinding through the daily tasks until I finally get that elusive advanced drag mod. Honestly, I’ve pretty much given up on catching the big fish until then.
Don’t forget to upgrade your rod! It helps with faster rotation, bigger catch area, and slowing down fish escape rates. The upgrades drop from the Big Fish in a Little Pond daily, but beware, RNG can be a pain. I’m on PS5, so I might be able to help with some upgrades if you need them.
Also, check out the fishing challenges in the pause menu! There are several useful upgrades available there too!
Same here! The d-pad is way easier and feels more intuitive, especially for those of us with joint issues.
