I'll just quote you in mine instead.

I can think of a lot of potential for fishing games, like even spear-fishing and deep sea fishing, multiplayer fishing which requires multiple players to wrestle wriggling behemoths from the end of your line into your boat.

Fishing RPGs where you start in a dingy, then save up for a large trolling boat, having multiple friends for crew as you attempt to capture denizens of the deep.

But this sounds more like the upcoming "Forever Blue" than a fishing game so I might have to check that one out on principle.

The problem with pretty much every fishing game, except the odd one or two is that you are always casting from a fixed position. You can scroll right or left off the boat.. But you actually can't move the boat.

Surely with the technology we have now, its perfectly reasonable to expect a whole lake that you can move around to find the best swims. Fishing isn't really the most graphically intense game and a nice 360 degree back drop with a fairly large area to move around shouldn't be a problem!

The Wii gives great control to a fishing game. You should be able to realistically twitch and move the lure. Reeling is going to be a little different, but it doesn't take a genius to create something that feels right

If you have ever been fishing the button you press to cast your line is under the reel so you use your index finger to press it, not your thumb.

You only use your index finger when casting an open faced reel. With a closed face reel you use your thumb. That brings up another cool feature to use for a wii fishging game. You could purchase different kinds of rods and reels allowing you to use either the A or B button for casting depending on what type of reel you have.  C'mon sega, we need a good fishing game!!  Sega Marine Fishing 2 for Wii!!

I wouldn't count on Sega making another fishing game, let alone a good fishing game.

Sega has done nothing but suck and fail lately. The closest thing I'm looking for in a GOOD fishing game will be Forever Blue.
