Bass pro shops the strike tournament edition cheats

The developers really should have found a way to change the experience that goes beyond switching up your equipment based on the fish that you're going after.

The challenges come in two flavors: boat racing and casting challenges. The boat racing has terrible physics and poorly programmed obstacles in the form of kamikaze logs. Casting is ho-hum at best and has you launch your lure through targets in the water to score points.

The truly mind-numbing aspect comes when you try to play with a friend. You'll likely feel like you're playing on the NES as there's no simultaneous split-screen forget about online multiplayer of any kind.

You can't even use separate controllers. It's pretty embarrassing, actually. The visuals in Bass Pro Shops: The Strike are abysmal and deserve to be counted among the worst on the system. It's clear that the graphics were ratcheted down in order to scale to the Wii and the end result is a mess of poorly designed textures, a stuttering framerate and details that will make your stomach turn.

I shouldn't be happy when water actually reflects the objects around it something The Strike struggles to do properly , but when you see the rest of this game you'll understand why I am.

Verdict From the monotony of the tournament fishing to the annoyance of many loading screens when trying to quickly buy new equipment when out on the water, Bass Pro Shops: The Strike is a very disappointing endeavor. Was this article informative? YES NO. In This Article.

For example There's one NW from the starting dock - along the bank where there are a few trees sticking out.

The trick here is to find some good sized fish. I don't have much advice, just experiment however and wherever you think is best. The simple plastic worm will work just fine. This is one of the harder tournaments. You really need to land a big boy or two in order to win. Just getting 5 fish won't do it. There are plenty of trees here that might just have a trophy bass hiding around them.

Good luck. Lake Wylie, NC Goal: 5 largest largemouth bass Tips: The closest spot to find a largemouth here is straight out from the starting dock and to the right. There's a corner on the north bank that has a school of them. Again, this is a tricky tourney. You really need to get fish over 10 lbs.

There's not much else to say here, just do your best and hopefully you'll have a little luck. Under the northern bridge is a school of striped bass. There are also some catfish here to contend with, but that's not too difficult. You may need or lbs of fish depending on the competetion, so reel in 5 as quickly as you can and try to get at least 2 big boys.

Fish right up to the timer if need be, as a 1 or 2 lbs. Just north of the starting point is a short brige under which is a nice gob of smallmouth. They're easy and quick to catch so bring in a bunch of 'em. These smallmouth tourneys can be a lot of fun since it really depends on the quality of your catches.

Placing 1st here shouldn't be too tough. You won't have to worry about your line breaking if you have a 17 lb. The largemouth here can be a little slow to catch. South from the starting point is a dock and house. Fish along the rock wall to the right of the dock west. The school here is quite thin- maybe 1 or 2 bass in an area- so I use the jerk bait in in order to get a good view the worm sinks too quickly and all you can see is weeds.

Be patient and try different spots along the wall to find the big ones. There may be other spots that have a thicker school of bass so feel free to explore, but this is a large lake with very little distinguishing features so it'll take a lot of time to find a good spot and you'll likely have to retry the tournament, so it's up to you.

Head straight into the cove with large rocks along the right bank and fish out as many smallmouth as you can. Set your drag accordingly and use whatever techniques you've learned up to now. I did lose one tournament to a player that got Lake Toho, FL Goal: 5 largest largemouth bass Tips: Toho is stocked full of largemouth so finding some won't be a problem.

The fastest is the northern tip of the map- there's a little cove full of em. As with the other largemouth tourneys it requires every second and a little luck to win.

The bass seem to strike the plastic worm the fastest so I use that, although topwater poppers is a fun alternative in crystal clear waters like this- but strikes take a little longer so I recommend the worm. The simplest way is to use the plastic worm and bob it on the bottom. Another tip is to set the drag up to 3 since these fish won't get up above 8 lbs. Fish fast and hard and you'll place 1st, but 2nd place will also unlock the invitational mode. You don't need to place high to get to the next tournament as each one gives you points depending on your finish.

They also use the same fish. You will probably need to use different fishing spots as the starting docks is now in a different place then it was for the tournament. Lake Amistad, TX Goal: 5 largest striped bass Tips: Ok, since in invitational mode the starting dock has moved, the bridge is no longer the quickest spot. So head out of the cove and turn left south and stop next to a couple of trees on your right. There should be a school of stripers here. If you've gotten this far you shouldn't have any problem winning this tourney.

Head southwest and fish in the corner of the cove here there are 2 trees sticking out. This is one of the harder tourneys. You'll need a couple good size bass to place 1st so good luck. There's a school by the bouys on at the east end of the lake.

There's a few catfish here too so you may want to use a jerkbait instead of the squirmin worm Just south of the starting dock along the east bank is the closest place to find them, but there's also smallmouth mixed in here. So if you'd rather have just a school of largemouth, head west under the bridge and stop and fish NW into the cove here on the west bank.

If you've upgraded to a faster boat it shouldn't take more than seconds to get here. I would recommend a jerkbait since the water is so deep here and the area is so large, you'll want a good view. You'll need a couple big ones, but this should be easier than the largemouth only tournaments, like at lake fork and lake toho. Table Rock Lake, MO Goal: 5 largest kentucky spotted bass Tips: Well for the final tournament of the game this one is suprisingly easy.

Just head west along the southern bank and pull into the last cove before reaching the main channel. There's nothin but spotted bass here. Catch em any way you want I recommend the worm and catch em quick, and you'll have no problem finishing first. And if you win the whole invitational, you'll win a new boat!

I've personally caught each legendary fish and can verify that these locations are correct. When you hook the legendary fish a "sparkly" effect will show similiar to catching a reward fish and you will be congratulated accordingly when you land him.

Sometimes when fishing in the area, a gold sparkle will appear over the water in the spot where the fish is located. It won't happen as soon as you drop anchor however, so be patient and keep fishing Located: The far west end of the map where a creek empties into the lake.

This is inside one of the bouyed exploration locations. The monster is towards the back and to the right by the north bank in some weeds and about foot depth. Tips: Here's how I caught this guy - it took me quite a long time though, so maybe you guys have better suggestions - I used a topwater lure to fish out some good stripers by luring them in close to the boat. When you see the gold sparkle immediately switch to a drop-shot worm and cast in the exact spot where the sparkle was. Now just barely bounce the worm along the bottom so that you don't attract the other fish or any catfish.

If the monster is still there he should strike and you'll see the sparkle effect when you hook him. If not, then go back to the topwater and keep catching big ones until the spot appears again and retry. Be sure to use 17 lb test line and your best lure and rod as this is the largest fish in the game.

Have fun :-D B. Name: "Caspar" Lake Fork white crappie My catch: 5. Head north into the long channel the end of which is the northernmost point on the lake and find the buoyed off eploration challenge area. There's a school of bass here, south of this is a school of catfish, and finally the 3rd school south of the bouyed area is the crappie. He's about in the middle of the channel. Tips: I caught this one without seeing the gold sparkle above the water.

I simply kept catching crappie until one of them lighted up with a sparkle when I hooked him, but the sparkle will appear above him eventually. I recommend the single tail grub, of course. Name "Leviathan" or "Levi" for short Lake Wylie catfish estimated at 40 lbs and 4 feet long My catch: Levi is by the south wall, around the middle gate. Tips: Once you see the sparkle stick a drop shot worm in the spot catfish really really love the drop shot- even more than the squirmin worm and snag him.

The squirmin worm will work too. Take your time and slowly wear him down. Name: "hubs" Lake Guntersville black crappie estimate at 7 lbs and feet long My catch 6. Before you get to the bouyed of area, the southeastern bank juts out a litte. Off this point is a school of crappie Tips: Not to hard to land really as he's pretty light Name: "Wally" Lake Champlain walleye estimated at 25 lbs My catch Located: Head towards the Northeastern cove.

At the southern end of that channel is a large school of walleye it's directly north of the island east of the bridge. Tips: I had a hard time singling out wally from the large number of walleye here. I used the jerkbait to both find him and catch him. In the underwater view you can pick him out of the bunch as his coloring is unique - he's much darker- and has bigger fins. You might try catching several walleye away from the sparkle or lure them in close to the boat to help split them up, and then cast to the spot.

With 17 lbs test, landing him won't be too hard. Name: "Goliath" Onieda Lake muskie estimated at 4 feet long My catch: Located: In the southeast corner of the lake, where the cement wall borders the lake in one of the buoyed exploration areas.

If memory serves me, the actual sparkle appears near the rocks up against the wall. Tips: Ah, the famous muskie- notoriously difficult to catch.

I didn't find this guy too hard to catch I recommend the jerkbait, the squirmin worm, or the dropshot worm. A jigging spoon sometimes works well too, but the previous ones are the prime choices.
