HOW TO READ THE WATER
A little patience.
A better-timed drop.
A fish must be within ten lane units of the boat for a catch. The nearest eligible fish is checked, so watch its position rather than trying to choose a species from the list.
Watch the crossing
The boat moves automatically. Wait until a fish is close to its line; there is no steering control to add.
Make one drop
The hook action takes 880 milliseconds and briefly freezes the boat. Let it resolve before trying again.
Keep the sequence alive
Closer alignment adds an accuracy bonus. Consecutive catches add a combo bonus; a miss resets that sequence.
The fish
Each species begins with its own base value, from 85 points for bluegill to 720 for lake sturgeon.
The alignment
An exact alignment adds 80 points. The bonus becomes smaller as the gap between boat and fish grows.
The sequence
Successful catches build a bonus in steps of 26, capped at 130. A missed drop resets the combo.

There is no online account or public ranking. A different browser starts its own board; clearing site data removes the records stored here.

How do I begin?
The boat starts moving when Golden Current loads. Use the hook button, click the water or press Space or Enter outside an input or button to make a drop.
Does a rare fish always appear?
No. Each spawn chooses a tier with the original probabilities: common 48%, mid 40%, rare 10% and trophy 2%. Those are per-spawn probabilities, not a promised mix for every voyage.
What happens after the sixth drop?
The voyage ends. Use SAVE LOCAL SCORE to open the final panel, enter a name and choose SAVE. The original board retains the highest five saved scores.
Can I move the boat myself?
No. The original boat travels automatically and pauses briefly during a hook drop. This edition does not add steering, a pause button or replacement controls.
Where are my results kept?
The board is stored locally in this browser for this domain. It is not uploaded to an online leaderboard or shared across devices.
