Pressman Toys Let's Go Fishin' Game Review Summary

Children love games and most will enjoy the Pressman Toys Let’s Go Fishin’ Game. This game receives high marks from our reviewers and they base their liking on the game’s entertainment value as well as its ability to help build fine motor skills. Let’s Go Fishin’ offers “Long Lasting Entertainment for the Little Ones”, but other reviewers are not so sure about its merits, with some making comments like “Great Concept, not so Great Reality”. The complaints about this game include its noise level, lack of enough fishing rods for players, and its challenging play level which may be too advanced for many children. So, when you consider everything, Let’s Go Fishin’ is an average Toy Product that may not be right for every family.

I have to say I have enjoyed this game as much as my kids, we used to have a compotition on who could catch the most fish, — I'm sorry to say I don't think we have ever played this game by how it was intended ,or rules if there are any.Me and my children had fun just trying to catch fish as… read full review »

My kids love this toy! It can keep them entertained for hours-- that is, until they fight over the fish... (Despite really liking it, I give it a 3 stars since there are some choking hazards for small ones. The game is directed toward older preschool, but you cant keep infants away… read full review »

It's challenging. The kids have to use their minds to figure out how to get the fish on the pole. It does move pretty fast so younger kids might get frustrated with it. You dont have to assemble anything. It comes ready made. It only uses one battery. Did I mention how cheap it is?? Like $10. It is fairly compact. Teaches patience! It's loud and doesn't really make a fun sound (great music would be fun) It moves pretty fast (which can be bothersome for some small kids) The mouths get broken often (but you can reassemble in one second) Small children choking hazard so maybe not the… read full review »

My oldest son uses this game in his therapy sessions to help him with his hand eye co-ordination.  So when it went on sale black friday for $5 I picked it up!  He loves it at home just as much, and although it is a chocking hazard for his younger brother we play it together as a family to monitor small parts.  They have so much fun.  You can play several ways too, collect 1 color of fish, collect the most fish, one of each color first.  I vary it up to keep it more… read full review »

     I bought this game for my daughter during the holiday season because I thought it would be a game that she would enjoy.  Boy was I right!  My daughter has such a blast playing the game.  The main reason why I bought the game is because it was really inexpensive, something you do not see often with toys. —       Eventhough she is only a 3 year old, she was quick to pick up on the concept of playing the game.  Set up was a breeze, just opening up the package and adding one "C" battery to the top console.  After… read full review »

This game can be challenging for my special needs kid, but definitely helps build fine motor skills. — The fish are cute, and the game is fun. I've noticed my son gets frustrated easily with this game though since it can be difficult to get the hook in the fishes mouth. My son actually holds the pole closer to the hook (cheats!) and is makes it easier for him. He still enjoys this game. — It is a little noisy, and acutally makes me feel ill (motion sick) if I play it too long but I am prone to getting motion sick VERY easily. — I still recommend it for another family game… read full review »

I got this for my son when he was 3 and he loves playing it. He gets very exciting when he catches fish and loves when his father or I play it with him. OK, I get a kick out of it myself. I feel it helps develop hand-eye coordination, sportsmanship in a toddler-size way and even a little family time. — Despite loving the game, it has a few shortfalls: the little "hooks" on the poles always come off (we're down to 3 poles because we lost one of the "hooks") and the small pieces could potentially be swallowed if not supervised. —… read full review »

While excellent in concept - kids can fish in their own house! - in reality, this toy is not as much fun. The actual board that hold s the fish spins while fishers try to catch the fish with their poles. Our complaint is that the board spins too fast for the kids and it is really hard for them to catch and feel a sense of accomplishment. I am all up for a challenge, but this goes too far. It is also noisy and teh fish get lost easily. Not teh worst game in the world, but definitely not a favorite. —… read full review »

This is such a cute game.  My kids have the travel size for the car as well.  It is very entertaining and keeps the kids going the whole time.  My only concern is chocking pieces, the mouths break apart easily (pop right back together) but with a 1 1/2 yr.old always wanting to play with the older kids I have to keep a close eye on them. Also the poles come apart(pop back together as well)  overall I would recommend this to… read full review »

This is a fun game, but it can be a little frustrating for younger children. When my little sister was four, we purchased the game for her. She became frustrated because it was difficult to get the fish to "bite." The game is much more suited for the 6-9 year old age group. Also, this is a very noisy game. If you don't mind the loudness, and your children are older, then, this is a great family game for… read full review »

My husband is a big BIG fisherman. And I thought this would be a perfect gift for our 3 year old. Well he loved it. When he caught his first fish, he screamed "I CAUGHT A FISH!!! JUST LIKE DADDY!!!!" Priceless —  I highly recommend it — Only negative thing about it is kids like to try to make the spinner stop. I've had to return the product because my son broke it after he first used it. —… read full review »

Although my son loves to play the game, he finds himself extremely frustrated as he is not coordinated enough to control the fishing hook to catch the fish.  The hooks are tiny and skinny -- too small for a 4-yr. old developing hand-eye coordination.  The fish go around too fast also.  My wife and I find it very loud and at times even difficult for us to… read full review »

The Let's Go Fishin' Game is my sons all time favorite.  He got it for Christmas (he was 2 1/2 at the time) and hasn't stopped playing with it since.  He does use his other hand to help "get" the fish but eventually as he grows older he won't need to use it.  It's a great game for those little one's who love going fishing!!… read full review »

This game is oh so cute. My son got it for Christmas one year. It is challenging because the base is turning while the fish are opening and closing their mouths. The child has to try to "catch" a fish with the little fishing poles while all this is going on. It is great fun for several children to play but even just one child can play. Very fun and… read full review »

My children loves this game so much...they've never got bored playing with this. they paly together, with us, with friends who come over, and even with the grandparents. My inlaws endup buying one for themselves. It's a litle bit noisy...but then, the children are noisy, too...when they are playing with this game.....so I guess, this should not be an issue. — … read full review »
