I am convinced that making a Guide is difficult and pleasing everyone is impossible, so I donīt want to critisize anybody here. I finished all 3 Tournaments in one playthrough haveing no problems at all. The following things I can confirm that they work seeing that that is the way I finished the game using NO Tips mentioned in the guide.
1) I have NEVER moved the boat in the whole Tournament from easy to hard.
2) The Radar is a Toy and was NEVER used by me at all.
3) I used in EVERY challenge the Rapala Tail Dancer Lure except for the 2 challenges where you must have a certain type of lure so that it counts.
4) the most important thing in the game is that after you cast, make sure to get the " ATTRACT " (turning and then moving RS in a certain direction). If you get that right, you will ALWAYS catch the fish that you need. Donīt reel wait for the fish to bight. (This works 9 out of 10 times. If nothing bites press LS and cast again)
5) If you donīt need Respect points, cast between 30 and 50ft. If you catch a fish, you donīt have to press many button combos making it faster to reel the fish in. This is very usefull on the last challenge on Hard where you have to catch 8 Largemouth Bass in 24 minutes. Try to cast 20-30ft only, do the Attract and you will have no problem with this challenge. Donīt waste any time here, if you missed Attract reel in and cast again.
6) If you need Respect points (I agree with the Guide Tips) cast far to be able to get the Button Combos.
7) Once you got the challenge completed, continue fishing to catch some other fish for the "Fish Connoisseur" Achievement. DONīT get the Attract.
8) For all GS hunters, DONīT worry about the fish achievements, catching 50 or 25 fish of a certain kind, these will come during gameplay or after you finished all 3 challenges, you can repeat a certain one choosing exactly what you need. example: Catch a 5 star Reputation Spotted Bass in 12 minutes. This one you do again if you need some more Spotted Bass. As soon as you got 25 in total the Achievement unlocks. You can then quit. You can check in the main Menu/Extras how many you have caught.
9) I suggest to do all challenges first, then go for the Catch 50/25 fish achievements, and then do the 30 Quick Challenges. This way you can keep records on how many fish you have caught in challenges in case that you are still hunting other fish for the 15 different types in challenges.
It took me about 10 hours of playing (7 hours playing and 3 hours loading) to get 950GS. The 30 Quick challenges are the same as all the others but take some time.
I hope this helps a bit, not wanting to disagree with Mr Arrow (the guy who made the Guide) who is doing a great job but for me very confusing seeing that you donīt need things or different lures etc.
