Close the battery compartment once the battery is inside. Each player takes a fishing pole. Turn the battery switch to the “on” position; the base will start rotating.

Playing the Game:

As the game base rotates all players simultaneously try to catch as many fish as possible; one at a time using their plastic fishing rods.
