I have to write a simple fishing program. This is the problem I am having: The fish has to stay below a certain point on the Y axis. Obviously, fish can't fly. I tried using the getY to define some if statements, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

We can't see what's wrong with your code if you don't post it ;)

If you only want a fish to stay below an axis I would use something like this: 
//write this in the act method of your fish class;
while (getY() < minY) { //minY is the y coordinate of the line the fish should never cross;
    setLocation(getX(), getY()+5);
}

Thank you! I looked at the code this morning and realized I just made a stupid mistake. Nothing a night of sleep can't fix!
