Find your kind
of fishing game.

The interest in Fishing Planet is in the choices around a cast. Its Android description brings together fishing methods, tackle combinations and changing conditions within a first-person simulation. You can read it as a game about preparing a session as well as catching a fish. Online play is part of the picture, too. It may be the more useful starting point if you want to spend time understanding equipment and how different methods fit together before moving on to competitions.

• Float, spinning, bottom fishing and saltwater trolling.
• Tackle choices within freshwater and saltwater settings.
• Online multiplayer and competitive events.

Fishing Clash builds its routine around a direct casting control, a tension indicator and an expanding collection of lure cards. Competition gives that routine a destination: the publisher describes timed duels against another angler. It is worth a look if a clear challenge and a progression system interest you. Learn the catch controls first, then read what the lures and upgrades do. Free downloading still comes with advertising and purchase disclosures to review on the official Android listing before installing.

• Button-based casting and a line-tension indicator.
• Fish-specific lure cards and upgrades.
• Timed duels against other players.
