Every system usually get some kind of fishing game and the iPhone is no exception. Fishing is one of the most popular sports in the world and now iPhone owners can do it from wherever they are. Note however that you won’t find fancy 3D graphics in iFish, it’s still pictures only but for what it is it works pretty well.

iFish uses the iPhone’s accelerometer to let you cast your line and reel in your fish. When I say “cast your line” I really mean cast your iPhone. You actually move your iPhone to cast much like you do use the controller on the Wii to do certain things. You don’t actually have to cast exactly as you would a real fishing pole but a good movement up or down with your iPhone will cast your line.

Please be VERY careful not to throw your iPhone if you do the overhand cast type move though. I have a sleeve on my iPhone that is black rubber so it helps to stop me from hurling the iPhone through the air when I’m casting. The last thing you want to do is to call Apple and try to get them to replace your iPhone because you whipped it into the air by accident.
