Facebook: Fish Wrangler! Tips and Tricks (Part 1) – Overview

Facebook Fish Wrangler: Fish Wrangler Tips and Tricks
When I first started playing Fish Wrangler I thought it was a very basic game, kind of like Mafia Wars was when it was first released. However, as I kept playing I realized I was mistaken. With features like Upgrade Fishing Poles, Chum for Bait, Upgradeable Skills, Upgrade Boats, various Fish to catch, Night Fishing Trips, Captain Trips, Fish Wrangler Quests, Skip Fishing, Levels, Pole Levels and Tournaments.. there are more than enough things to keep you busy.

I outline a few of these features below. Check future posts for more information.
