Deep Sea Fishing Games

Ready to go fishing in the big blue ocean?

Trolling around a lake on a flat-bottom boat looking for bass is fun, but if you want to see or catch the big fish, you need to head out on the deep sea. Of course, it's a rare and fortunate person who can go out on a charter boat looking for marlin and red snapper whenever the urge hits him. Until your next fishing trip occurs, check out these deep sea fishing games.

Deadliest Catch: Sea of Chaos

Deadliest Catch, based on a popular television show, puts you in control of ten campaigns in which you control a crab fishing boat on the wide blue ocean trying to bring in as much money as possible. Most activities involved in your crab fishing expedition are handled by minigames, small and simple games you play in order to catch, sort, or unload the crabs. As the game proceeds, you can buy better equipment for your boat, and your crew gains experience at the tasks they perform. The game's online multiplayer mode supports up to eight players playing the game at once on competing fishing boats. Deadliest Catch is a game for the xBox 360, the Nintendo Wii, and the PlayStation 3.

Pirate Fishing

If you are tired of the licenses and rules that go with real fishing, pirate fishing may be for you. This simple indy game has a theme that would send Greenpeace running to the polar circles. You control a pirate fishing boat; your goal is to catch as many fish as possible by dumping oil into the ocean and collecting the fish as they float to the surface. It might not be politically correct, but it sure is a fun game.

Deep Sea Fishing

Deep Sea Fishing is a free browser game in which you control a lone cartoon fisherman out on the ocean trying to catch as many saltwater fish as he can with his humble rod and hook. The player moves the boat around on the water and drops the hook by pressing and holding the left mouse button. When the button is released, the fisherman reels in the line. The goal is to time the fall and rise of the hook so that the largest possible fish is brought up. Fish range from saltwater bass to great white sharks and the player has two minutes to catch as many pounds of fish as he can.
