Master Bobber

Important! Download a lake before running the game. Lake downloads are at the bottom of this page or directly above this text.

Finally! A browser based fishing game that runs in VR.

Runs on PC (Linux or windows), Virtual Reality headsets, and many modern mobile devices. 

First, download the lake you would like to play. There are download options for Loto, Stockton, and Table Rock at the bottom of this page. Please note the version as they often change as the game is updated. You may just keep these files in your download directory and delete them as new versions of the lakes are published. After selecting a lake from the drop down menu, a dialog will be shown asking you to select the downloaded lake file.

Most fishing games are about casting. Master bobber is about leaving your bobber alone until you catch a fish. In real life fishing there is nothing more annoying than someone throwing out their bobber with a minnow on it and then reeling it back in almost immediately. 

You can do that too with Master Bobber if you want, knock yourself out but keep in mind your score will go down.

The best way to catch fish and get a high score on Master Bobber is to first see the fish by driving the boat and looking for them around cover. Then put the bobber over the fish and leave it alone for no less than 2 minutes as that is the best way to get a strike.

Stockton lake is known to be full of Wapers, which only hybridize here. They are a hybrid between a Wiper (another hybrid) and a Walleye. 

Loto (Lake Of The Ozarks) has Wapers, but also contains every other fish in the game. It has terrible looking terrain, but great looking fish and will also run on slower devices including Quest built-in browsers for VR gameplay (highly recommended).

Table Rock lake has detailed fish including Black and White Crappie among others. It also has more detailed structure and requires a faster device to run properly. It is designed for PC and PCVR so use extreme caution when running on your phone or built-in VR headset browser. They will need to be very fast and modern. Quest 2 and Quest 3 built-in browsers will not run Table Rock.

Turn on the radio under Music in the 3 bar menu and listen to the most popular songs on Beat Saver while the fish dance to the Beat Saver map. Song Playlist.

Please be aware that using dynamite to harvest fish is illegal and unethical.

As this game can be a bit scary from time to time especially in VR, it is not appropriate for children.

Master Bobber has been tested on a Lenovo y520 (which is pretty slow) and it runs great on Arch Linux with a 1050 ti and i7 with 8gb of ram. These are no more than $250 on eBay at the time of this writing.
