FISH ‘N’ NUDGE BIG CATCH: OVERVIEW
Last Updated: August 5, 2025Written by Stephen Cummings
Fishing themed slots consist of some of the most popular slot games around and slots developers continue to create new slots with such themes for this reason. Push Gaming are one of the key developers when it comes to the Fishing theme in slot games and their latest slot comes with an array of features but unfortunately, no cascading reels.
In this Fish ‘N’ Nudge Big Catch slot review, we will give you all of the information about this game so that you can decide for yourself whether you would like to play it for real money or not.
FISH ‘N’ NUDGE BIG CATCH: FIRST IMPRESSIONS
To begin with, it took us a little bit of time to hit any significant wins, most likely due to the high volatility aspect. One slightly disappointing aspect here is that the features, although good, are rather hard to trigger. The bonus game is good and will be better depending on how many scatter symbols you hit. You need a minimum of three to trigger the bonus whilst four will ensure you begin the round with 5x multipliers and five bonus symbols will ensure you begin the round with 10x multipliers.
The SlotsHawk team managed to trigger two bonus rounds, one of them being via four scatters and during that bonus game, we won over £30. Overall, we did lose around £4 but when the features are in action, Fish ‘N’ Nudge Big Catch is a lot of fun.
FISH ‘N’ NUDGE BIG CATCH FEATURES
As we have already mentioned, there are plenty of nice and interesting features in Fish ‘N’ Nudge Big Catch, we have explained them all for you below as well as how they are triggered.
NET SYMBOLS
The Net symbols are an overlay and appear on reels in stacks of 4 and can land anywhere in both the base game and free spins feature.
After the spin has been completed, the Net symbols will nudge down by one position and this repeats until there are no more Net symbols on the reels.
FISH SYMBOL
During the Base Game, matching a minimum 3 of a kind consecutively from the leftmost reel will award line wins. The Instant Prize value attached to the symbol will be awarded if the Fish Symbol lands in a Net symbol. Fish symbols will also payout if a fisherman lands in a Net symbol.
The available values for the Fish symbols are: 0.5x, 0.8x, 1x, 1.2x, 1.5x, 1.8x, 2x, 2.2x, 2.5x, 3x, 5x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 18x, 20x, 25x, 50x, 100x.
FISHERMAN SYMBOL
During the base game, the Fisherman symbol is a wild symbol that substitutes for all other paying symbols. When the Fisherman lands in the Ney symbol it will collect all of the Fish symbols which have landed on the reels.
FREE SPINS FEATURE
The free spins bonus game is triggered when three or more scatter/bonus symbols land on the reels.
- Three bonus symbols trigger the free spins feature.
- Four bonus symbols trigger the free spins feature with a starting reel multiplier of 5x.
- Five bonus symbols trigger the free spins feature with a starting reel multiplier of 10x.
Above each reel, there is a lock meter and multiplier meter. During free spins, reels 2 and 4 are filled with the Net symbols and all three lock positions filled on the lock meter. The Free Spins feature continues as long as there are Net symbols on the reels.
BOAT SYMBOL
During the Free Spins feature, the Boot symbol acts as a special symbol to add and lock Net symbols.
- When the lock meter is inactive and no net symbols are present, the meter is activated again with three active locks and the reel is filled with Net symbols.
- When the lock meter is inactive and Net symbols are present, the meter is activated with 3 active locks and the rest of the reel is filled with Net symbols.
- When the lock meter is already active; it resets to three active locks.
BOOST SYMBOL
The Boost symbol is only available during free spins and it increases the reel multiplier in the reel by one step.
PUSH BET
The Push Bet increases your chances of unlocking the bonus game at the cost of 1.2x your bet.

STRATEGIES WHEN PLAYING FISH ‘N’ NUDGE BIG CATCH FOR REAL MONEY
First of all, we recommend activating the Push Bet feature for 1.2x your bet in order to increase your chances of triggering the free spins feature when playing Fish ‘N’ Nudge Big Catch for real money. We also recommend beginning by betting small so that you can get used to the features of the game.
One strategy that SlotsHawk enjoys adopting is to only increase your bet to bigger sizes if you make profits early on. This way, you are only risking what you have already won. We also advocate ending your session when you have played enough and when you are in profit.

THE SLOTSHAWK VERDICT
“Fish ‘N’ Nudge Big Catch is a fun high variance slot game with some good graphics and fun features. What let’s this slot down is how difficult some of the features are to trigger. You need to give yourself a decent amount of time if you want to activate them all.”
