A needle turns, and a window opens
Hit the band clean and the fish is yours and the streak holds. Miss and the streak goes back to nothing. The window narrows the deeper you fish. There are 146 species down there and you will not get them quickly.
And what it pays for
You keep what you catch, and the list runs long. The fishing pays for the rest of it: a ship, a crew you sign on one at a time, and a fight with the outfit that runs the sea floor. Turn-based, and you aim every shot yourself. The gear worth having is down there, and it does not drop often.
