Definitely plan on updating this later when I find more fish, S rankings and
appropiate quests descriptions, awards' rewards (this game doesn't record it!).
Of course correcting some of my mistakes.

Version 0.80 - Lots of errors, blame myself for not proofreading!  And added
some more fish and better ranking ANDDDDD better methods explanations.
Version 0.75 - Finally decided to submit what I have to GameFAQs.  :)

II.	Introduction to Fishing Resort

This fantastic fishing game was released in North America just past November of
last year and it was barely getting the word out that I wouldn't had spotted
this gem if it wasn't for a thread on NEO-GAF.  A XSeed employee trying to
support this game with images and tales of fun to be had!  While I was
supporting the thread, I was also trying to help the game to gain more
recognition for being a wonderful relaxing fishing game elsewhere.  Meanwhile
I quickly noticed how difficult some of the fish were to be found.  I decided
to do my fish list in an excel spreadsheet to keep track of rankings as well
as locations.  Soon enough, I saw I had plenty to share on a XSeed forum and
sure enough, other members were graceful and were just as helpful later on!

This fish list is to help others to find out where this fish is found, what
size it is possible to fish with, and what number it is on the index for quick
reviewing.  Of course on occasion when its that rare enough, or gotten enough
comments about its obscure location, it'll be included in how to find it as
well as what methods to be used to capture it.

III.	Method of Fishing

As I was making this guide, I must confess that I'm using the Zelda's Gold
Motion Plus built in wiimote.  :)  Other members insist I have a platinum copy
of this game lol but I assure you, I don't and I fish consistently and a lot.
I'll now describe to you my methods of fishing.  First and foremost, I went
into this game with intention of finding every darn fish there is.  Even if I'd
have to spend 200 hours (of right now lol) to get it.  I did just that with
the very first area I'm in.  I level up in rank quite a bit while gathering
enough points to buy better rods and reels as well as better bait.  Its pretty
hard at times but keep at it and you'll have plenty of points in no time.
Also, I don't know if this helps or not, but if you're still having difficulty
playing this game, try the bait and lure tutorials or go to your laptop setting
and make sure the tutorial setting is on for their functional prompts.

Targets on the bulletin board will definitely help a lot in rewarding extra
points along with better ranking fish sizes. I use this scale for the 
following: Small is anything less than 1.64ft. Medium is anything between 
1.64ft to 3.28ft (although medium rod/reel will pick up smaller than that too).
Large from 3.28ft to 6ft.  Anything beyond that is a XL. But this is my own 
scale imho that works best for me in selecting my rod/reel for these said fish.
So far only thing that is definite of size is
by bulletin board measurements and bait.

With all that said, I'm doing this by the order of appearance in the Fishing
Photoguide that you have in your suitcase in your hotel room.  However do keep
in mind, some fish can be found in other areas and sometimes with better 
results! When in doubt, look on your bulletin board and see the target cards 
for the fish for specific spots and unknown fish you haven't acquired yet. The
# reflects their order in the index to be more specific.  Thought this would be
extra helpful without any further confusion.  And finally, S rank is just 
merely a few inches in difference even from A rank too, so you can count on 
that final fish you'd want to be in that size.  Only huge huge fish can 
jump in feet in rank sizes, not super small ones so don't fret too much on what
rod/reel on those.  You may even catch much better S ranking fish than me.  
:)  I only put in my own examples for what counts for S rank size in my game.

Read from top to bottom of each page.  I'd try to keep 3 fish per page (using
the text blur on most cases) even with those annoying ones placed in the center
folds lol.  And to make sure, N = North, S = South, W = West, E = East.  You
also notice that there are some locations that are not found in that area, but 
in a later area you can access by buying a fishing license or moving from your
hotel.

*Location Notes
Big Catch Rock is a black platform that you can walk onto and fish to
the left, in front, and to the right.  The right area is easy to miss!

Feest Cove is another area that easily missed if you're not careful to find
its entrance.  Its right next to Big Catch Rock a ways down but before the
pathway to Golden Cliff.

One of my favorite places for a seahorse and a Ocellaris Clownfish is the trio
of small black rocks to the right near the entrance to the beach from the
hotel/lodge path.  You can cast at the main rock and let it bounce.  You'd be
only a feet away but you can at least see the tiny fish you need to catch!

goes to Erdnuckel01.

#131: Hyneria - A rank 15.87ft - East Sparse Rock *Titan/Infinity/Rainbow;
CORNER them and keep in green range!*

*Location Notes
Now you see I say keep in orange range for White Sturgeon?  I meant it.  Do NOT
give that fish any slack, because it'll dive on you and just break the line.
If you're struggling, make sure you have a good rank and a good rod/reel
and finally a good fishing method (reel in short bursts works for me).  Also
take care to follow instructions in keeping your wiimote in line with the fish.

As for the Hyneria, they love to swim near the shore.  BLOCK their way to the
rest of the water by facing the shore and making sure you're baiting in front
of them too.  It helps to cast close to your boat while you're not giving them
any sort of marginal distance to escape from you.  This is the best way to fish
these. Green range is just advisory to keep from losing or breaking the line
during their "escape".  Keep in mind they'll fight for the first half and then
finally get tired which you'll notice their lack of speed and you'll be able to
reel them in short bursts.

And you must notice the *Titan/Infinity/Rainbow, which is the best 3 star
XL rod/reel with the best bait.  CTRL+F "Help Master" for more info.

*Location Notes
Black Ghost Knifefish is quite small and fast.  Watch out for them when you're
in the area.

Pteraspis was found between the two sand dunes on the right with a little
water in between them.  Yeah.  My method is to turn the wiimote to the left
with the buttons facing to your left and cast horizontally to the right.  Take
a few retries to get it down right, and when you do, expect to pull up a lot
of armored catfish. I got mine after 3 ingame days, hope you have patience!

*Location Notes
Barramundi looks a lot like Nile Perch except its white and Nile Perch don't
hang out in Malam Outlet so you can be sure its a Barramundi.  :)

Climatius is easily can be seen and pull up.  Just expect a rare fish to be..
well rare in appearance.  :) There's no other fish in that area that fits its
shape or color.  Looks like a blue long bullet, and no smaller than a 
Butterfly Fish.

	The Oceans

Couple of things; because there's a huge area we're fishing blind boat/ferry 
side with variety of sizes, I'll be sure to split rod/reel with a Heroic/Omega
type (S/M) or a Titan/Infinity (L/XL). If its a small fish only possible to 
fish with the smaller rod, I'll make note with a *. Also, wide range bait 
yields pretty good results for me.  Please use that bait and cast CLOSE to 
your boat to get much better results.  Don't forget there's 3 different oceans
for different fish. I'll make note of specific line in difference of fish on 
the map to tell you how far you can go for each area.  Press + during Trolling
to view the map during.  Also take great care to notice that there are looped 
routes all over.  I think maybe at least 10 of them and not all of them are 
loops.  One actually went across to another loop, so take care to see where 
you're headed.  

Once you get your Cruiser, you can apply all 5 rods that you buy more from the
shop.  When trolling for a specific fish, I use all 5 rods and all 5 same 
colored lures for each one.  If you're not sure, feel free to spread them out
to see if you can attract another depending on your array of tackle(s). Because
of the color of tackle is kinda a mix bag to differentiate on different 
monitors/screens, I'll number them instead 1-5 from left to the right. 
Finally, do NOT take my tackles to be 100% effective. I'm still testing this
as I'm playing still and still learning better tackles to be used.

And after checking out the map, Tropical ocean fish seem to takes up about 70%
of the map from the bottom, and you have your Temperate and Frigid in the north
which seem to bleed into each other quite often. IMHO anyway.

	Tropical Ocean - Pretty much anything west below from the sharp tip of
the island (it is shaped like a Marlin!) to below far south of Tidur Area east.

*Location Notes
The diary had Sepuluh listed as Spool for some reason.  Just a FYI.

Milkfish is rare for me for some odd reason.  You can find it just straight
west from the dock of Spool Island at least south of the south tip of the main
island.

Swordfish is pretty close to the mainland (Teman Beach) when I first got him.

	Temperate Ocean - Far south of Tidur area and above around to the 
north side of the tip of the island to the west but not beyond Sembilan Island
horizontal line.  But still, you'd find some trolling routes and their fish 
bleed into Frigid too or vice versa.

#097: Dunkleosteus - E rank 17.00ft - Trolling Sembilan Island Area #2 Tackle

*Location Notes
Great White Shark can be found from a route that is going south from Tidur's 
River area that loops around to the right and up and back.

You'll hate that Oilfish with passion.  But you'll soon learn that after you
shake and flip that wiimote, you can just let it slack and lose it.  I did 
this with most of the fish I don't even need.  This helps save a LOT of time
trolling.  Thankfully most of the fish are unique in their appearance, how 
they battle, and how LARGE.

Oilfish do NOT do anything special besides hiding.  Marlins are obvious with
their flipflops and their long noses.  Sharks including the final fish for 3 
oceans has water balls in front of them.  Squids and Octopus are obvious by 
their color and tentacles.  Dunkleosteus is special, it has a HUGE shadow! :D

Dunkleosteus is best achieved by leaving south from the west side of Sembilan
Island's coast (and I'm talking close here), you'll recourse to the west from
the south and you should hit a spot to encounter this beast.

	Frigid Ocean -Anywhere above the horizontal line past Sembilan Island.

Island (trice) #1&2 tackle
Page 21-22
#167: Helicoprion - D rank 9.07ft - Trolling N of Safir Cave/E of Sembilan
Island with #5 Tackle

*Location Notes
Japanese Pufferfish is rare for me for some odd reason.  I found it an extreme
halfway NE of the main island.

There's two different routes for the Helicoprion and Dunkleosteus!  Take the
west going south route of Sembilan Island for the Dunkleosteus, take the east
going south route of Sembilan Island for the Helicoprion.  Helicoprion's loop
is much shorter than Dunkleosteus whereas you would just better off restarting
back when you start heading north outside of Sembilan Island range.

	Sembilan Island

#016: Eastern Blue Devil Fish - A rank 1.63ft
#128: Purple Queen - D rank 0.26ft 
#096: Giant Grouper - A rank 8.14ft
#137: Pink Anemonefish - A rank 0.33ft
#199: Red-bellied Fusilier - A rank 1.43ft
#214: Rolfosteus Canningensis - B rank 0.58ft - THIS FISH IS TINY. 

*Location Notes
Purple Queen was my last fish.  Because of its size, I imagine its very very
hard to spot.  But I got it right after I got Rolfo.  Dumb luck I know.

As for Rolfo, I used Heroic/Omega/Rainbow near the pillar rock on the right 
of the deck but from facing north on deck, not on the right edge.  Ditto 
with Purple Queen.

	Sepuluh Island/Spool Island

#130: Permit - A rank 2.85ft
#206: Rooster Fish - A rank 4.04ft Credit goes to serenaz1.
#209: Red Emperor (Young) - A rank 0.99ft
#087: Tarpon - S rank 8.30ft 
#074: Giant Trevally - A rank 4.01ft

*Location Notes
Because the compass (or my sense of direction) wasn't... my best suit, I made
directions from your own perceptive as you get on the beach from the dock.

Rooster Fish can be seen far from the beach far right of the 
dock of the island.  You can't see their "rooster" fins but you can see their
long bodies that no other fish has any similarity to.

Tarpon was dumb luck on my part too.  Similar to Rooster fish, I was casting
far from the left part of the beach opposite of the dock of the island.  Used
Titan/Infinity/Rainbow.

Giant Trevally can be found ferrying and from the dock of the island.

	Safir Cave

#100: Football Fish - A rank 1.62ft
#204: Frilled Shark - A rank 7.89ft
#189: Goblin Shark - A rank 12.00ft Credit goes to sdw4572

#205: King of Herrings - B rank 19.71ft

*Location Notes
Goblin Shark and Barreleye can be found at the same spot. They're found at 
the far right end of the cave CLOSE to the rock wall. You'll not spot them 
unless you're grinding against the rock wall, and they're picky eaters, 
expect a few to miss.  Barreleye fish is the smallest and HARD to spot.

VI.	Award List

To access your awards, go to your laptop in your room, and check Award List.
There are Common, Special and Miraculous type of awards.  Common is tentative
as I type this, because obviously getting S rank on all of them fish is going
to be... INSANE.  But as far as I know, Common Awards do not reward you
anything...except for Miraculous.  Special pretty much covers all of the things
you have done for the first time except losing fish 100 times.  :)  And finally
Miraculous Awards are special because they do reward you something.
Unfortunately, just like with quests, I do not recall which ones rewarded you 
with what except a select few.  They don't record that ingame, however, 
thankfully you can click on the questionable awards to see what you need to do

VII.    Activity List

Oh there's plenty.  To be updated.

VIII.   Questions

1.  HELPPPPPPP!  OMG WHERE IS THIS FISH.
If that list doesn't help you, you can go to
http://xseedgames.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?35-Fishing-Resort for more info
on hand and plenty of images are in there.  I'll be in there trying to help
as much as I can.  :)

2.  Where is the 3 star XL rod/reel?
Do all of the side quests and the Help Master award will reward you them.

3.  How do I get to Safir Cave?
Do fish at all of 8 main locations and be sure to find 80 types of fish while
saving up 100,000 points!  Go back and talk to the guy to gain the Cruiser.
Then you can sail on your own, its at the topmost part of the island, NOT
the tunnel no, but go through it and go to your right.  You should see a couple
of orange floaters and a dock that you can get off at and talk to the guy for
his raft to go inside the cave.  :)

4.  How do I catch fish in the ocean?
While ferrying or boat side, you need Wide Range bait for effective results and
be sure to cast close to your boat.  Wide Range bait is available at fish shop.

5.  How do you catch those Legendary last page fish???
I'm still not sure at this point but its really down to sheer luck that I've
found and caught them.  The only one I've seen was Hyneria.  Rest was fished
at random.

6.  How do you catch that MONSTER Hyneria/White Strugeon/King of Herrings?
Hyneria I suggest to keep in green range, White Strugeon in orange range,
and King of Herrings... more of an orange range too.  Remember they're fighting
for their lives lol, so you should expect them to be fighting you for a while.
They're big fish, and it takes a while for them to get tired (slow in speed)
before you can reel them in.  What I do is do a tug/slack method, whereas I
reel/pull a block, then slack/wait for a block, and then repeat.  I findit
helpful if you're facing a closed off section where they cannot run far from 
you.  This isn't effective 100% of the time though, but do the tug/slack a 
block method to keep that fish from "swimming" too much.  Eventually they'll 
get tired and you can reel them in better in the second half.  It is a bit long
and exhaustive method but its a surefire way to ensure you keep your catch from
breaking the line on you.  It IS recommended that you have the best rod/reel 
and a very high rank.  I got these guys with no problem at World Champion, a 
rank below Fishing King.
