Hiii! So um, my mom is not the best fisher of all time and she is missing the last Nook Miles reward for Cast Master. You know, the one where you need to catch a bunch of fish in a row and not miss a single one? Well, she missed. Can she still get the last reward? She just needs eight more to go from what it looks like. Does it like reset on you if you do miss and if so, how long? Or will she never get that one?... 😕
 
You have to restart from 1 whenever you miss. So if you had 92, then miss a fish, then you restart from 1.
 
Hey!! unfortunately, it does restart from 1 when you miss a fish. It's not impossible to get after that, the counter just starts back over. You have to catch 100 fish in a row to get the final stamp.
 
Yeah it’s tough! I got it but it took several tries. Unfortunately have to start over from 1 again
 
Omigosh! Wow! I did not know that. Dang, I might have to help her with that... Thank you everyone who replied!
 
I made sure to save after maybe 10 or so fish caught so I can reset and do it again. But I managed to get it.
 
I am never going to get this milestone, I can’t fish at all lol. Hopefully we will all have better luck
 
I found that using fish bait, and taking breaks after catching 10-20 fish helped a lot

I pretty much did this after the half way point when I was doing cast master! And also doing the closing eyes/listening technique. I admit I did reset before it autosaved when I lost a streak at 97 (oof) so I was able to continue without penalty :oops: If you are in summer I also advise that you ignore finned fish while doing cast master because from my experience, finned fish bite faster and can throw you off guard especially if they bite on the first one. The smaller fish are a lot easier and more forgiving with timing after the bite. Good luck to your mom!!
 
I used 100 fish bait, went into a very quiet room and told my bf not to disturb me, put my phone away and did it without failing. So I suggest doing that ^_^ All the other times I tried doing it casually (as in just as I go naturally) I always broke my streak. I needed to hunker down and set my mind to it in a silent environment! Zero distractions!
 
I got to 93 and I forgot I was close so I was just casually fishing and one got away. I've not been that close since, I get so twitchy.
 
I got that one very early on, but I'm good at repetitive stuff. LOL

Just try not to think about each bite, because nerves will creep in.

Hang in there! :)
 
I accomplished this one back in March. My suggestion is to play by sound. Also, since some rarer fish can steal the bait, I suggest going for the smaller fish.
 
Oh man. I just got reminded of this nightmare. I had been doing great until 99, then I got distracted. My Cast Master counter is still sitting at 99 to this day...

I did this during the Fishing Tourney. I could attempt this again this Saturday, but I'm too lazy to farm clams and craft fish baits.
 
I got to 98 and missed. Took a while before I tried again, but I did get it.
 
It goes back to one. If you don't mind sea bass hunting they usually stay hooked a bit longer. They have large shadows and the most common.

Yeah I noticed sea bass is easier to catch, but overall the whole achievement is still very hard
