Triffy, if you're still confused about fishing, it's not too bad. o.o; All you have to do is wait for your lure to be pulled completely underwater, and then flick the Wiimote back. For reel fishing it's similar, except with the reel motion. I had to look to a FAQ to figure it out, though, because I was having such a hard time fishing for the Reekfish. XD;
EDIT: Gah, people! Neither Andy nor Mork is online, and Triffy is on vacation. That means I have to edit instead of post. :< But whatever. Today, I got my Wii component cables! :D They're really thick, and come in a nice box. You just plug them into the A/V port on the Wii, and then there are five plugs for your TV. At first, my TV didn't register them as component and made it black and white, but I eventually got it to behave.
I tried it on my little 720p TV with widescreen and 480p enabled, and it did look prettier. Not...like, a whole lot, but it'd certainly be noticeable if you had a large HDTV. (As apparently all of my friends do) If you do go that route, make sure to set it to 16:9 after selecting 480p. I didn't at first, and wondered why it was so stretched. xD So yeah. They're coolness.
The package also had a Wii safety sheet, with more Wiimote-strap stuff on it. o_o It told you what anyone should realize--wear the strap and do not throw the remote. But it just goes to show that Nintendo is being very responsible, and isn't liable in any way.
