New Content
- Float Fishing:
- When Fishing with a float you need to perform a strike in order to hook the fish. The timing and power of the strike is essential to getting a good hook quality, to minimize the chances of the fish escaping. Too early and you risk spooking the fish and too late you risk losing your chance to hook the fish.

Improvements
