Hey Anglers, As many of you know, we recently released the Catch & Compete Update, bringing a variety of quality-of-life improvements and new daily activities to enjoy in Fishing Planet. But we’re not stopping there, we're continuing to improve and reimagine the overall player experience. This time, our attention is on the early-game stages and the first-level waterways. That’s why this update has a simple and straightforward name: First Levels Rework. Let’s take a sneak peak at what we’ve been cooking up. All Roads Lead to Lone Star Our stats show that many players keep returning to Lone Star Lake long after they’ve unlocked higher-level locations and new destinations to explore. That’s why we wanted to create a cozier space for you guys to actually feel at home here. The waterway is being completely reworked: significantly expanded in size with now four new locations and kayaks allowed on the water. There is much more to explore, so keep on reading. We’ve also reworked the Tight Lines tutorial to make the first steps in Fishing Planet much more engaging for new players learning the game’s core mechanics. Home Sweet Home Yes, you’ll finally have a real Home of your own—one you can actually enter and walk around in! Inside, you’ll find a spacious Trophy Room, one of the most requested features by players of all time. There’ll be plenty of space to show off your finest catches, including the Mounts you’ve brought back from waterways all around the world. Kayak Rentals It’s a small spot where any angler can rent a completely new to the game type of kayak. It is pedal-powered, meaning your character’s hands stay free so you can keep fishing while moving non-stop across the water. It will also come equipped with rod holders, allowing you to troll directly from the kayak. Set off and move through shallow waters, glide over grass flats, and paddle into quiet coves. Out here, you’ll find spots that stay out of reach from the shoreline, opening up even more opportunities to catch a wider variety of fish. Lakeside Grill Area Lakeside Grill Area is a lively part of Lone Star where people from all over the state come to relax, gather by the water, and enjoy a good barbecue and picnic. Here, you’ll be able to begin a brand-new chain of Adventure Missions that will guide you through the updated Lone Star and help you discover fishing spots along the way. Complete them to earn the updated Tablet Firmware “Lone Star Map” as your reward, unlocking a much more detailed water map of the lake! Beaver Dam Beaver Dam is a rough area of the lake shaped by the natural activity of local beavers. Fallen trees and small dams create shallow cover that smaller fish like to hide in. Explore this quiet lake bay, but be careful with your casts, as the local beavers have scattered fallen trees all around the area, both above and below the water. There’s also a small island now hidden behind the dam. If you manage to make your way there, you’ll find an Insect Hotel tucked among the wild nature. Visit it once a day to collect a free bait reward before heading back out onto the water! Mudwater River, Lesní Víla, Quanchkin, Rocky Lake, Ghent-Terneuzen Canal While Lone Star Lake received a complete rework, some of the following locations also got a few updates and improvements. You’ll now be able to take your kayaks to Mudwater River as well or rent one right there. The bite map of the location will be updated, and predator trolling has been added to the river. Lesní Vila Fishery has been spruced up visually and now also has its own chain of Adventure Missions, along with a reworked bite map and numerous visual improvements across the waterway, including updated terrain and shoreline areas, giving you a great reason to explore this location all over again. Complete the missions to unlock the Tablet Firmware “Lesní Víla Map” with a detailed map of the waterway! Rocky Lake, Quanchkin Lake, and Ghent-Terneuzen Canal have also received a variety of tweaks and improvements, including bite rate adjustments, new fish species, and many other small enhancements. Now, let’s get to the fish - the part every angler is always most excited to discover. Guadalupe Bass Guadalupe Bass is a freshwater predatory fish native to Texas. Lone Star Lake will be the only location in the game where you will find this pretty fish. It prefers well-oxygenated waters with rocky or gravel bottoms. Its diet typically consists of small fish, crustaceans, and aquatic insects. It responds well to live bait, small lures, and natural baits, which makes it a popular and engaging target for sport fishing. Depending on the time of day and feeding activity, Guadalupe Bass can hunt from the bottom to the surface. It is most active during daylight hours, when its energetic feeding behavior is easiest to observe. Threadfin Shad Threadfin Shad will also be added to Lone Star Lake. It is a small freshwater forage fish commonly found in warm lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers. It plays a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems as a key food source for larger predatory fish and is often used as a natural bait. Threadfin Shad is typically found in the mid-water layers and near the surface, where it forms dense schools. The species is mainly active during daylight hours, moving in tight schools as it feeds. Yellow Bass Yellow Bass will be added to Lone Star and Quanchkin Lake. It is a freshwater predatory fish that thrives in warm lakes, reservoirs, and calm sections of rivers. Yellow Bass feeds mainly on small fish, as well as crustaceans and other aquatic invertebrates. It responds well to live bait and worms. Most often found in the mid-water layer, it will rise closer to the surface during feeding periods. The species is mainly active during daylight hours, with peak biting activity occurring in the early morning and late evening. Shortnose gar Shortnose Gar is a new inhabitant of Mudwater River, it prefers slow-moving rivers and shallow warm lakes with abundant vegetation. Shortnose Gar feeds primarily on small fish and juvenile specimens of other species, occasionally taking crustaceans and large aquatic insects. It is most often encountered in the upper water layers and responds well to live bait. The species is mainly active during daylight hours, when it can be seen patrolling quietly near the surface before striking its prey. Greenback Cutthroat Trout Greenback Cutthroat Trout is a rare and highly valued freshwater trout native to Rocky Lake, Colorado. It lives in cold well-oxygenated waters and feeds mainly on aquatic and land-based insects, as well as invertebrate larvae. Larger individuals may also hunt small fish and crustaceans. Greenback Cutthroat Trout responds well to natural baits and artificial lures, especially insect imitations, and often feeds at the surface during insect hatches. Its activity is strongest during daylight hours and around dusk. Longnose Dace Longnose Dace is a freshwater fish adapted to well-oxygenated cold waters with rocky bottoms and is a perfect addition to Rocky Lake. It serves as an important forage fish for larger predators. Longnose Dace is usually found near the bottom, where it feeds mainly on small aquatic invertebrates, insect larvae, and organic matter. The species is most active during daylight hours. New Bait and Lures Every angler loves new baits and pretty shiny trinkets. You will get a few in this update as well! Dragonfly Nymphs inhabit shallow freshwater areas with dense vegetation, reed beds, fallen branches, and muddy bottoms. As a natural part of the food chain, they make an excellent bait for predatory fish species, especially Bass that actively feed near cover and shoreline structures. Popular Bass Jigs have also received several new vibrant color variations, expanding the available palette further. As for the lures, you will get three Spoons that will always bring a little piece of good ol’ Texas fishing spirit wherever the water takes you! And there’s a little surprise waiting for you with them, so stay tuned! A Few More Things With this release, we’ve started a gradual rework of the game’s overall sound design. Lone Star Lake, Lesní Víla Fishery, Mudwater River, Rocky Lake, Emerald Lake, Neherrin River, Ghent-Terneuzen Canal and White Moose Lake have received completely updated ambient audio, including new bird, wind, rain, weather, and various other in-game sounds. This is just the beginning, and we’ll continue improving and updating audio across more locations in future releases until all waterways are brought up to the new standard. We’ve also been working on a lot of smaller quality-of-life improvements. Inventory management is getting more convenient with item search, quicker category filtering when equipping gear, and the ability to move items between your Backpack and Home Storage either individually or in bulk. You’ll also notice improvements across various UI windows, making navigation and everyday tasks feel smoother. Premium Account anglers will notice a few extra benefits as well. Beyond the well-known XP and Credit boosts, Premium comes with plenty of quality-of-life perks, including lower repair costs, faster groundbait mixing time, free boat rentals and competition registration, extra Daily Missions, and several advantages for Fishing Together sessions. With the addition of free Marker Buoy painting and free Daily Mission regeneration, Premium is now more rewarding. This update is all about making Fishing Planet more enjoyable and accessible for everyone. With numerous quality-of-life improvements and a more beginner-friendly experience for new anglers, we're laying the foundation for an even better journey from the very first cast. Best of all, these improvements will be available to all players for free. We can't wait for you to try the update and share your feedback with us on the water! Tight lines! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Follow us on social media to stay tuned and be in touch with our lovely community: Discord Facebook Group Instagram TikTok You are always welcome to ask for help in our support: support@fishingplanet.com *All visual content in this DevDiary is crafted to showcase the upcoming features; however, there may be differences upon the actual release of the update

Amazing work guys. A couple of things maybe you can bring at the meeting table in the future. And maybe give us users what you think. Can we have a box on the MAP so we can enter direct coordinates to put a marker instead of having to scroll,zoom, and try to pinpoint it with the mouse.. I can't even imagine players with controllers. This is another suggestion. I've seen TONS of people in forums and FB/Reddit NOT using x-series gear or things they win during missions or certain achievements because they are scared to lose it.... Why don't you guys have a section in the store that for every special mission or accomplishment done and you get a special item. You can re-buy it with baitcoins if you lose that item. (etc golum lure, special x-series float and lures etc) Once they are gone, there is NO way to get them back again. I think that's a bummer and lots of people don't use those items because they are worried about losing them in a fight. Keep up the good work guys!

Dear Players, We’ve received comments and support requests from some of you regarding bans related to Denuvo anti-cheat reports, and we understand there are concerns about the accuracy of these restrictions. Our goal is to maintain a positive community atmosphere, ensure fair gameplay, and provide safety for all our players. We want to clear up any misunderstandings about these bans in this post. Our game utilizes the Denuvo anti-cheat system for PC players to detect the use of third-party software or other means that may subvert game mechanics and gain an unfair advantage. Such actions are strictly prohibited by our EULA. When the system detects such software, we review the activity and enforce account restrictions in accordance with our rules. We’ve also been asked if Denuvo might falsely report developers who use their work tools while playing the game. We want to assure you that we have not encountered any false positives of this nature. Our developers regularly play the game using their tools, and we’ve also conducted extensive testing to ensure accuracy. To maintain the integrity of our security measures, we cannot disclose specific details about the exact software it detects. However, rest assured that the system is designed specifically to identify software that interferes with game mechanics for cheating purposes. Additionally, we carefully review support requests and examine restricted accounts to ensure no mistakes were made, and every time we find proof our anti-cheat system works correctly. We also advise against using any kind of cheating software of unknown origin downloaded from the internet, as it may not only result in a banned account in Fishing Planet but could also pose serious security risks, including malware that might compromise sensitive data such as payment information. We hope this helps clarify things. We care about our community and want to make sure everyone feels safe and enjoys the game. Tight lines, and thanks to all who play the game fairly!

Everglades, Salty Delta can sometimes be good for cannonballs, out over on the left-hand side, dragging lures along the bottom normally works. Maybe give that a try.

Aguardando a versão de console

A release date for consoles is not known, normally the update will be released on Steam and all going well will be released on PlayStation in about 2 weeks and then the Xbox platform a week later. All has not gone well, patches to fix problems/bugs will be required, so there will be a delay of some sort.

Nope, this is not possible to do.

Hey Anglers, Back to Basics - First Levels Rework is LIVE on Steam and Epic Games, and it’s the perfect time to rediscover Fishing Planet all over again!

You will eventually get plus 4 gift boxes full of fishing goodies, each arriving once a week. Now, let’s take a look at what’s new in this update! Watch the Update Trailer on YouTube and write a comment under the video to get a chance to win one of three StarRanger Kayak Packs! Lone Star Lake The updated Lone Star Lake now offers much more territory to discover. The waterway has been expanded with four locations: Home Sweet Home, Kayak Rentals, Lakeside Grill Area, and Beaver Dam. Kayaks are now available here as well, so whether you rent one on-site or bring your own, you'll have plenty of opportunities to explore the lake and reach new fishing spots. Angler's House and Trophy Room The Home Sweet Home location at Lone Star Lake finally lives up to its name. You will now have a personal house that you can actually enter and walk around in. Inside, you'll find a spacious Trophy Room with plenty of space to display your finest catches, achievements and Mounts collected from waterways all around the world. The house and its surroundings have a bunch of interactive objects, so be sure to explore and discover them all. Brand-new StarRanger™ Trolling Kayak We’re introducing an entirely new type of kayak to the game: the StarRanger™ Pedal Trolling Kayak. Since the kayak is powered by your feet, there’s no need to stop and recover stamina while moving across the water. The StarRanger™ also comes equipped with two rod holders, letting you troll with up to three rods at once and maximize the amount of fish, XP, and Credits you can earn during every trip. To make things even better, the kayak features a built-in Echo Sounder, helping you locate fish more efficiently and making trolling easier and much smarter. The new trolling kayak is available in the StarRanger Kayak Pack, which also includes 7 days of Premium, extra Baitcoins, 20 Marker Buoys, Storage Extensions, Repair Kits, and unlimited Advanced Licenses for Lone Star Lake, Mudwater River, and Emerald Lake for you to always be covered on these waters! As always, a rental kayak will also be available at the location. The Outrider™ Trolling Kayak at Lone Star Lake will be at players’ service for those who want to experience pedal-powered navigation and trolling across the lake whenever they wish. A New Tutorial & Adventure Missions We’ve completely reworked the Tight Lines tutorial to make the first steps in Fishing Planet more engaging and intuitive. Beginning at Lone Star Lake, Kayak Rentals, it guides newcomers through the game’s core mechanics, including casting, landing fish, traveling between pins, and selling their catch. The Tutorial grows into Adventure Missions. Follow mission chains that guide you through the adventures assignments and help you discover the best fishing spots, and reward you with upgraded firmware for Tablet. The missions start at Lone Start and continue at Lesni Vila Fishery. Now let’s go and check out what’s been done in other locations. Mudwater River, Lesní Víla, Rocky Lake, Quanchkin, Ghent-Terneuzen Canal You’ll now be able to take your kayaks to Mudwater River as well or rent one right there. The bite map of the location has been updated, and predator trolling has been added to the river. Lesní Vila Fishery has been spruced up visually and now also has its own chain of Adventure Missions, along with a reworked bite map and numerous visual improvements across the waterway, including updated terrain and shoreline areas, giving you a great reason to explore this location all over again. Complete the missions to unlock the Tablet Firmware “Lesní Víla Map” with a detailed map of the waterway! Rocky Lake, Quanchkin Lake, and Ghent-Terneuzen Canal have also received a variety of tweaks and improvements, including bite rate adjustments, new fish species, and many other small enhancements. Please note that Lone Star Lake and Lesní Vila Fishery have been completely redesigned. As a result, any marker buoys previously placed on these waterways are no longer relevant. To avoid confusion, all marker buoys have been removed from these locations and returned to your inventory, allowing you to place them again and mark your new favorite fishing spots. The fish bite system on Ghent-Terneuzen Canal has also been significantly reworked, which means some of your existing marker buoys may no longer be in the most productive locations. However, since the waterway itself has not been redesigned, we have not removed any markers. We recommend reviewing your existing buoy placements and updating them as needed to match the new fish behavior. New Fish Species A total of 6 new freshwater fish species are making their way into Fishing Planet, each finding a new home across different waterways. Lone Star Lake welcomes Threadfin Shad, Yellow Bass, and the iconic Guadalupe Bass, a species endemic to Texas, which will be available there in all three fish forms, including Unique! At Mudwater River, Anglers can now target Shortnose Gar, while Rocky Lake gains Greenback Cutthroat Trout and Longnose Dace. Quanchkin Lake also gets a new resident, with Yellow Bass now swimming in its waters as well. Some of the fish species across all these waterways received additional fish forms, so you can go ahead and check out the locations' fish lists to find what’s been added. New Competitions & New Achievements From now on the competitive spirit will start from the map one! You can try chasing Bass from a kayak, targeting Buffalo with precision, or competing for the best Sunfish score at Lone Star Lake, or go for a mud battle to fight toothy gar at Mudwater River. There have been two new Achievements added catch all fish species of unique form: Senior Limnologist at Lone Star Lake and Hydrobiologist-engineer of the Lesní Víla Fishery. New Bait and Lures Every angler loves new baits and shiny tackle, and this update brings a few new additions to your tackle box! We’ve added three new color variations for Bass Jigs, a new Dragonfly Nymph bait, and three Texas-themed lures that you can claim from the Lone Star Welcome Box absolutely free! A More Immersive Environment With this release, we’ve started a gradual rework of the game’s overall sound design. Lone Star Lake, Lesní Víla Fishery, Mudwater River, Rocky Lake, Emerald Lake, Neherrin River, Ghent-Terneuzen Canal and White Moose Lake have received completely updated ambient audio, including new bird, wind, rain, weather, and various other in-game sounds. This is just the beginning, and we’ll continue improving and updating audio across more locations in future releases until all waterways are brought up to the new standard. For the best experience, we recommend starting with all audio sliders set to maximum. Once you’ve explored the new ambient sounds, feel free to tweak the settings and create your own perfect balance. UI changes Inventory Sorting We are continuing to improve the Inventory sorting and navigation, and it now includes a new All Items category with an expand/collapse option, making it much easier to browse through large item lists without opening every section manually. We’ve also added a Search feature, so you can quickly find a specific item or item group by name instead of scrolling through the whole inventory. Managing items between the Backpack and HomeStorage has also become more convenient. You can now move entire subcategories between storage tabs, with a confirmation window showing what will be moved and how much space is available. Individual items can be moved in one click, without an extra confirmation step. We’ve improved the Equipment setup flow to make tackle assembly more intuitive for beginner players. Placeholder icons now better reflect the required item types, equipment rules are more consistent across different setups, and hints provide clearer guidance when something is missing or equipped in the wrong order. This update also adds automatic category switching when selecting empty equipment slots, making it easier to find the right items for your setup. Results & Progression Window Improvements We’ve redesigned the results screens to make the end-of-day and trip summaries more informative and easier to read. Rewards, catches, location details, and completed challenges are now presented more clearly. A new Level Up window has also been added to better celebrate progression and show newly unlocked content and the next location to look forward to. Time Forward Window Improvements The Time Forward window now is easier to understand. The chart shows Fish Activity, so it’s more obvious what the graph represents, and Next Morning was renamed to Next Day to be more clear. We also added a reminder that all fish will be sold when moving to the next day. Shop UI Improvements We’ve improved the in-game Shop to make browsing and comparing items easier. The top navigation is now cleaner, filters are better organized, and search and sorting controls are more convenient to use. We’ve also updated controller navigation in the Shop to make it more consistent with other main game sections. Submenu navigation, item selection, search, sorting, 3D preview, and item description scrolling now have clearer controller mappings, making the Shop easier to browse with a controller. On top of that, we’ve expanded the local shops at Lesni Villa, Mudwater, and Ghent-Terneuzen Canal with a wider selection of items, giving you more useful options when shopping at these waterways. On Lone Star, the local shop now matches the Global Shop in assortment and prices, helping players explore the full range of available items while getting familiar with how different shop types work. Setup Compatibility Finding the right gear combination now will become much easier. When browsing tackle in the Shop, simply click the Rods button to bring up a list of rod and reel types that work with the selected item. Everything is displayed in one place, helping you compare options more easily and build compatible setups with less effort. Full List of Premium Benefits Over the past few years, the list of Premium benefits has continued to grow as new features have been added to the game.

Removed a stuck spot on the shore of Congo where players could fall in and be unable to get out. No matter where you are on your journey as an Angler today, it’s worth remembering where it all began. With your new House at Lone Star Lake, you now have a place to return to your roots, look back on your greatest catches, and see just how far you’ve come. Back to Basics is not a journey backward, it’s a new beginning. It’s our way of taking everything we’ve learned over the years and using it to create a better experience for both new and seasoned Anglers alike. We hope you enjoy exploring these refreshed waterways, new missions, and all the improvements this update brings, while we continue listening to your feedback and helping Fishing Planet grow and evolve. And to help you start this new chapter, don’t forget to claim your Lone Star Welcome Box* with special Texas lures. Then return each week for four more gift boxes packed with fishing rewards. Tight Lines and see you on the water where it all started! *These gifts are available to all players starting at Level 5. The Lone Star Welcome Box can be claimed within 30 days of the update release. Each next gift in the Personal Offers tab remains available for 7 days after it appears. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Follow us on social media to stay tuned and be in touch with our lovely community: Discord Facebook Group Instagram TikTok You are always welcome to ask for help in our support: support@fishingplanet.com

In regards to the first part of the mission, why are you using a Titanium leader on the feeder setup, suggest using Fluoro or Mono leader instead. See if that helps. Not sure about the second part of the mission, I used a small open feeder and it worked normally for me.

There is a clear mistake in the mission. There are no green check marks when completing the task. Neither arrival at the location nor the feeder assembly lead to the appearance of a green check mark indicating that the task item has been completed.

This is amazing! Thank you so much for the recent updates—the FPS (performance) on PS5 has improved significantly! I have a suggestion for further realism: when using a long rod for float fishing and placing it on a rod holder, could you make it so the line between the tip of the rod and the float isn't always pulled tight like a straight line? It would be great if we could let out a bit of slack so the line rests or hangs loosely on the water's surface. Naturally, this would mainly apply to still water (lakes/ponds). It would add a lot to the immersion and realism of the game. PS: Thanks for all your work!"

I’m excited for this update. Is there an ETA for the PlayStation version?

You can find items available to be purchased for club tokens in the Home store (as in when you are not at any waterway).

Hey Anglers, Fishing Planet’s Catch & Compete Update is now available on PlayStation, bringing a fresh wave of improvements to your every day fishing experience! Dive in and try out a more transparent and comprehensive Competitive Rating and Matchmaking System, brand-new Rewarding Leaderboards, long-awaited Daily Missions and Colored Buoys that add a new layer of activity to your time on the water. Now take a closer look at what’s new in Fishing Planet! Daily Missions Daily Missions are time-limited tasks that refresh every day, giving players a great opportunity to earn additional XP, Baitcoins and Club Tokens on a daily basis! They are available from level 10. Each day, you can get up to three missions with assignments based on your level and recent activity. Missions are split into Daily Catch, available to all players, Club Catch for those in a club, and Premium Catch for players with an active Premium account. Long-awaited Colored Buyos Colored Buoys are finally here, making it easier than ever to keep your favorite fishing spots organized. Choose from eight vibrant colors and set them up your way—mark Uniques, Trophies, Competition catches, and regular fishing spots with different colors so you can tell them apart at a glance. Organize everything in whatever way works best for you. On your tablet, you can quickly switch colors through the buoy menu and use color filters to show only what you need. You can also filter buoys by color right on your tablet, so it’s easy to focus only on the spots you need at the moment. And if you want to clear things up, you can hide all markers and get a clean view of the water. This feature will be completely free on Lone Star Lake, Texas and Lesni Villa, The Czech Republic, so you can try different ways of organizing your buoys and figure out what works best for you before heading to other locations. All players also have a few free color changes available, so you can experiment without spending anything and get comfortable with the system at your own pace. For Premium players, changing Marker Buoy colors will remain free on every waterway in the game. Enjoy! An increased Marker Buoy limit With this update, we’re also increasing the Marker Buoy limit from 2000 to 2500. We know some players were really looking forward to it! If you’re curious to learn more about how Colored Buoys work and what’s new with Daily Missions, make sure to check out the DevDiary: Colored Buoys and Daily Missions New Competitive Rating and Matchmaking System We’re introducing a new Competitive Rating System to make competitions more transparent. The number of Rating Points you earn depends on your final placement, and you can always check exactly how many points each position gives in the Competition Details under the Rewards tab. If you already have a Competitive Rating, it stays with you, so you’ll simply continue from where you left off before this Update. On top of that, Competitions now match you with players of a similar Competitive Rating! You’ll compete within your own group, with a separate results board, making it easier to track your progress and fight for top spots. Please note that Matchmaking works best when enough players register for a competition. If participation is too low, the system cannot divide anglers into balanced groups, which means experienced players may still end up competing against newcomers. To create fair matchups, the system needs to know in advance how many participants will actually take part in each competition. That is why registering for a competition without participating will result in a rating penalty. If you want to get a better idea of how Competitive Rating works and how Matchmaking now groups you with players closer to your level, check out the DevDiary: Competitive Rating and Matchmaking New Rewarding Leaderboards Leaderboards are finally rewarding! With this update, we are introducing three main Leaderboards: Global, Competition, and Fish, each with its own filters and views. You can track your progress by week, month, or year, sort by XP, fish types like Young, Common, Trophy, or Unique, locations and see top players by catches or XP gained. Altogether, this creates 1000+ leaderboard combinations, so you can play smart and aim for the amazing rewards like X-Series items, Premium Account, Club Tokens, Baitcoins, Credits, brand-new exclusive items, and more! Keep in mind that Competition Leaderboards offer the highest rewards of them all, giving you and your friends even more reason to jump into Competitions if you haven’t tried them yet. Please, be aware that Leaderboards refresh every Monday, on the 1st day of each month, and on January 1, with rewards granted right before each reset. Please note, that the previous Leaderboards will disappear, but don’t worry about your records - they all are stored in your profile, so you will always have access to the information about the biggest fish you caught. To find more details on how the new Leaderboards work and what kind of rewards you can earn, check out the DevDiary: New Rewarding Leaderboards Update to the fish weight distribution algorithm We’ve refined fish weight distribution to make catches more consistent across the Leaderboards. Please note that all adjustments are calibrated in kilograms, so any issues you may notice in pounds could be caused by rounding during the conversion from kilograms. If you spot any inaccuracies of this kind, you’re always welcome to contact Support. Some players noticed before that previous changes to the weight distribution algorithm also affected how Groundbait Mixes performed, especially for species like Carp. We’re happy to share that this has now been reworked, and with the updated algorithm, the so-called and known among players “carp oversizing” is back. Get your best recipes ready and enjoy! Bug Fix and Improvements We’ve also made a number of fixes and improvements across the game to enhance performance, refine gameplay, and improve overall stability. Let’s dive into what’s been done in more detail: Gameplay 1. Resolved teleportation issues between pins in Norway. 2. Adjusted Congo rented motorboat spawn position to ensure proper shore access. 3.

From now on if players are on The Globe or on a different location when a competition starts, they will receive a window that will allow them to join the competition faster. 10.

Quick guide on how to fish carp at a high rate with lots of uniques, without carp gear (use barbless). The amount of groundbait a spod contains in a single use works like bait size (more = bigger fish), so you need large premium or x-large spod. Ideally fish sunny days, I get around 16+ over 2 game hours with 2 feeders 2 floats, single spot. 10-12 over 4 game hours cloudy. For float setups, use a waggler with 50cm leader, and add the leader to the depth, example 4m depth, set 4.5m. Fish tend to spend more time on baits using the waggler feeder setup, you can use up to 5 rods. Feel free to adjust the recipes, there is enough to feed two spots at once, and also general fishing (other white fish, other fisheries). ==== Carp Master Pro (Fruity, Sweet): [Carp Rival 1500g] [Big Riverine Breamer 1000g] [Geyser: Baked Milk 1000g] [Tutti Frutti 152g] [X Flavour 152g] [CSL (Corn Steep Liquor) 152g] [Crushed Grain & Seed 250g] [Oilcake-Pea 250g] [Pastoncino Mix 125g] Total Mix Weight: 6871g Hook Size: #8/0 - #10/0 Weather Type: Sunny Bait: Sweet Pea Activity: Very High ---- Feed Master Pro (Savoury, Smelly): [Catfish Destroyer 1500g] [Geyser: Moonshine 1000g] [Geyser: River Flea 1000g] [Giant Octopus 152g] [X Flavour 152g] [Delta Garlic 152g] [Forage Bloodworm 250g] [Oilcake-Pea 250g] [Pastoncino Mix 125g] Total Mix Weight: 6871g Hook Size: #8/0 - #10/0 Weather Type: Cloudy Bait: Salo Activity: High - V.High ==== Spod: Large Prem (75g/75g), X-Large (93g/93g) Locations: 55.13, 370.75 | 188.18, -346.34 Spod about 8-10 times same spot per game hour ---- Note the Large Prem spod is enhanced.

Hey Anglers, While everyone's buzzing about our upcoming Maldives location, we've got another surprise we've been working on behind the scenes for long months—Fishing Planet has officially launched on Nintendo Switch™! Fishing Planet is now available on 8 platforms for users worldwide. As the one and only free-to-play fishing simulator on Nintendo Switch™, it's just a download away! Check it out on Nintendo Switch™! *Nintendo Switch is a trademark of Nintendo

45. Here is a joke for those who read release notes all the way through: What do you call a vegetarian Viking? - Nor-vegan! LOL, I got it

Hi devs and fellow anglers, I’d like to suggest a simple but important quality-of-life improvement to Fishing Planet, one that would save us all time and frustration. The current problem: After coming back from a trip, repairing equipment is a chore. We’re forced to: Manually move gear back to the inventory Find it again in the cluttered menus Then finally hit “repair” It's unnecessarily tedious – especially for players with lots of gear, or those who just want to get back to fishing quickly. Suggested solution: Add a “Repair All” button At the Home screen, add a simple: Repair All Damaged Equipment This would automatically repair all items below 100% durability, using available credits. Allow gear to be repaired while equipped Right now, we can’t repair something unless we unequip it – even if it's at home and not in use. Please allow us to: Right-click an equipped item (rod, reel, line, etc.) See its wear % Click “Repair” directly Why this matters: Saves a ton of time Makes the game flow smoother, especially for casual evening players Reduces unnecessary UI clicks and loading times Improves the experience for console and Steam Deck users too Encourages players to maintain gear more often, not just when things break Fishing Planet is all about immersion, and this little change would go a long way toward making the experience more enjoyable and intuitive for everyone. Thanks for reading – and I hope this suggestion finds its way to the dev team! Tight lines!

Especially, when we are forced to leave location just to repair. Should be able to repair where you are at during fishing. You leave too early to and only get money at time of leaving but if we can repair without leaving, then we can stay in longer to earn more without the hassle of leaving and coming back in. Probably, how it cost us more to pay to travel in again.

Did see something on the FP Discord channel a while ago (a week ago?) stating that the Developers decided not to run all the previous Halloween event missions this year only going with the latest, I don't remember a reason for why, but think it's quite possible that they'll try to run them again in the future. So hopefully there's a chance that you can get those outstanding ghosts.

I would like to see modular tackle boxes similar to real life. Current real life tackle boxes use several plastic bins to organize the tackle. This allows the user to set different bins for different destinations. Example for fresh water Bin #1 - light tackle (hooks, spinners, spoons, bait, line, etc) Lone Star Lake Mudwater River Rocky Lake etc Bin #2 - Medium tackle Bin #3 - Heavy tackle White Moose Lake Blue Crab Island Alternate example Bin #1 - Tackle for Rocky Lake Bin #2 - Tackle for Blue Crab Island Bin #3 - Tackle for Amazonian Maze Bin #4 - Tackle for Noomaa Kuda Atholhu All tackle would remain in home storage or backpack. The bins would just move all items in one selection.

Il semble que vous essayiez de fixer un leurre au mauvais type de canne. Pour utiliser les leurres, vous aurez besoin d'une canne et d'un moulinet spinning (ou d'une canne et d'un moulinet casting). Les configurations de cannes à pêche ne sont pas polyvalentes. Flotteur - Appât Spinning - Leurres Lancement - Leurres Feeder - Appât (pêche de fond légère) Fleur - Appât Carpe - Appât (nécessite un appât et un matériel spécifiques pour la carpe) Ensuite, il existe les configurations de pêche en mer, réservées aux eaux salées (actuellement au Japon et aux Maldives). It sounds like you are trying to attach a lure to the wrong type of rod. To use the lures, you'll need to get a Spinning rod and Spinning reel (or Casting rod and Casting reel). Fishing rod setups are not multipurpose. Float - bait Spinning - lures Casting - lures Feeder - bait (light bottom) Bottom - bait Carp - bait ( needs special Carp bait and tackle) Then there are the saltwater fishing setups which should only be used on the saltwater waterways (currently Japan and Maldives)

Hey Anglers, Noomaa Kuda Atholhu, Maldives, one of the most stunning and luxurious fishing destinations on the planet, has finally arrived on PlayStation! As it was on Steam and Epic Games, we invite you to celebrate this event with a special gift for everyone: the crazy-bazy Crabby Cap! Claiming it is easy—just open the game and head to the Personal Offers tab. Enjoy! And to all players on other platforms — bringing the Maldives to you is our top priority, and we’re working hard to make it happen as soon as possible! Stay tuned! And now let’s get down to what’s new: - Noomaa Kuda Atholhu, Maldives Get ready to explore a brand-new tropical destination spanning 400 square kilometers (nearly 100,000 acres) of open ocean! This massive area features 55 fully explorable atolls, islands, and ocean spits—perfect for discovery and fishing from the shore. You’ll find 28 fish species swimming these waters, including 14 completely new additions to the game: Swordfish, Black Marlin, Sailfish, Great Barracuda, Blacktip Reef Shark, Two-Spot Red Snapper, Wahoo and many more. Fish at this location generally grow bigger and stronger, bringing a whole new layer of challenge to the fish fighting experience into the game. Players can unlock this destination at level 94, or dive right into the adventure with one of the DLC packs, each including 30- or 60-day access, plus an Advanced License and Premium account for the same time period. The maximum level cap in the game has been increased from 90 to 100. - Ocean Clouds and Marine Life Simulation for more immersive experience We developed custom technology that makes ocean skies in the game feel more real and immersive than ever before. Unlike those over freshwater, ocean clouds are often larger, taller, and more dramatic, fueled by constant heat and moisture. We’ve also added sunny, cloudless weather and a subtle heat haze effect to enhance the sensation of hot, shimmering air. To bring this to life. We’ve enhanced Marine Life Simulations with an extra layer of depth. Alongside seagulls and tuna leaping from the water, you’ll now notice additional visual cues to help locate fish—such as rays, dolphins, flying fish, and more. Beyond these functional indicators, there’s plenty to explore in the natural beauty of the environment. With crystal-clear turquoise waters, you can see straight through to the colorful coral reefs teeming with vibrant marine life—like sharks and exotic fish—as well as other immersive elements such as divers, all contributing to the authentic vibe of the location. - A brand new fishing yacht with color customization feature The all-new Chameleon Catamaran is your ultimate ride for big game fishing parties with room for 5 players on board. Packing a massive 3,000 kg fish storage and a 650 kg max fish capacity, it’s ready to keep even the most Unique beasts this destination has to offer. Every angler onboard gets their own fishing spot with two adjustable rod holders and a personal display loaded with Fish Finder 360, Echo Sounder, and a GPS Map while having their rods in sight. But what makes this yacht special is that it comes with an exclusive color customization feature. Only the bravest anglers can earn it by taking on a series of challenging missions that lead to the ultimate showdown with the biggest monster in the game… Chamaeleon Catamaran can be obtained with two heavy-duty trolling setups from high-technology Tsurihito™ fishing brand, a generous supply of lures and baits for your big game fishing, and a spacious Tackle Wagon accommodating over 300 items, you'll have all essential fishing gear at your fingertips in Chamaeleon Cruiser Pack. With 60-days of access, Advanced License and Premium account, additional Marker and Navigation Buoys we got you covered for an unforgettable escape from the mundane. - New Bottom Spinning Gear Another exciting addition to the game is Saltwater Bottom Spinning fishing. You get new specialized rods designed for targeting fish that dwell near the ocean floor. These rods blend the sensitivity and versatility of traditional spinning setups with the strength and durability required for deep-sea conditions. They are perfect for catching bottom-dwelling predators such as Groupers, Snappers, Black-Tip Reef Shark, and various reef species. These rods have a strong backbone and a sensitive tip to detect subtle bites and handle the weight of heavy fish. Paired with saltwater spinning reels offering high drag capacity and corrosion resistance, they’re built to meet the demands of bottom fishing in saltwater environments. An ultra-powerful bottom spin setup from Tsurihito™ and an extra-long spinning set from Fletch and Bradford™ go in the Atoll Scout Pack. All kinds of baits and lures specially designed to chase exotic ocean species, and a super spacious 400+ items Tackle Wagon Vault™ to have everything you need, will make your ocean fishing smooth and easy. A tropical Angler’s outfit with polarized glasses and the AquaRay™ headlamp will fill your 30-day journey through the Maldives atolls with extra comfort. - Vertical Jigging Retrieval Try out a new fishing technique in the game — Vertical Jigging — where lures like pilkers, spoons, jigs, and more are dropped straight down into the depths and retrieved with sharp, jerking motions to mimic injured prey. This method draws in predatory fish from all depths — from the bottom to the midwater layers — provoking strikes through sudden lure movements. Vertical jigging is a precise and effective way to fish, offering anglers the chance to engage fish directly below the boat in deep or open waters. To help you master the technique, the game tracks your retrievals in real-time, so you’ll know exactly when you’re doing it right. - New Saltwater Items Experiment with the new saltwater gear that is now available in the In-game Store. You’ll find massive Saltwater Poppers and Spoons, brand-new Triple-Hook Pilkers—perfect for targeting aggressive ocean predators. For trolling fans, there’s a full set of new gear, including Luminous Trolling Octopuses and the versatile Trolling Skirt Rig, which consists of a Trolling Skirt, Head and Hook. - Livebait Trolling Rig A specialized fishing setup made for trolling live baitfish behind a moving boat. To support this method, we’ve introduced a range of new baits, including various sizes of Flying Fish, Indian Ocean Squid, and Split Tail Mullet to tempt predators like Swordfish, Tuna, Marlin, Barracuda, and more. - Missions, Competitions, Achievements, Monsters Take on two engaging Monster Missions series and come face-to-fin with two formidable ocean predators. This time, the Brave Angler must confront the fast and legendary Night Windrazor — a true hunter of the dark — and the terrifying Hordecuda, a horde of monsters unlike anything you’ve faced in the game before. Dive into a challenge of 6 all-new thrilling competitions and get up close with vibrant marine life of the Maldives. Unlock 11 fresh achievements as you explore every stretch of these tropical waters — and only the most curious and relentless adventurers will earn the hidden achievement. - Sounds improvements We’ve introduced a range of sound improvements to enhance your experience. These include new drag and reeling sounds for both saltwater and freshwater reels, updated casting sounds that now vary based on distance and reel type, and refined reel opening/closing sounds. Additionally, some splashing sounds for floats, lures, and fish have been updated. New background music has also been added to the main menu. - Limits Increased We’ve increased the limits for several key features to give you more flexibility and room to grow. The maximum number of Marker Buoys has been raised from 1700 to 2000, Setup Templates from 200 to 250, and Groundbait Mix Recipes from 50 to 100. Now you can plan, organize, and make more room for your fishing strategy. -A bug fix has been implemented Fixed incorrect display of inventory item thumbnails in the Inventory tab Fixed marker buoys accepted in club chat not showing up in 3D until the game was restarted Fixed Club-Series Glowing Pear-Shaped Float not glowing properly Corrected the description text for a rod stand in the shop Resolved incorrect appearance of navigation buoys in photo mode With the introduction of the new Live Baits category, the Japanese Squid has been reassigned to it. As a result, it can no longer be used with bottom rods. If you had setups where bottom rods were equipped with this bait, the Japanese Squid will now be unequipped and automatically moved to your Backpack. Fixed an exploit where trolling bonus was granted while the boat engine was running and anchored Resolved an error occurring when attempting to teleport using navigation buoys Fixed an issue where players couldn’t place a rod on a rod stand after competition scoring time ended Updated achievement tracking: Nile Perch now counts toward the Perch Captain achievement Fixed text overflow on the MAKE CAPTAIN (PREMIUM) button in French The level for some Saltwater Braid Lines was changed. Resolved issue with shared buoys not appearing in the accept list Adjusted overly bright lighting on some objects during morning sun Fixed competition ending unexpectedly when trying to change spot Improved tab focus behavior when changing days or switching between tabs Corrected rod name display in the 3D view Resolved issue where players on boats could pass through other boats due to collision settings Removed unnecessary close button (X) for controller users in the Stats window Fixed character model misalignment when rotating camera on kayak in photo mode Smoothed out slingshot animation in both first-person and third-person views Resolved overflow issue in the Friends > Options menu with more than 6 options Fixed heavy collision between fishing gear and grass on the San Joaquin pier Adjusted tournament description text to display properly across multiple languages Closed an exploit spot behind the rock with water access on the Selenge River The in-game shop price for Squid Chains was changed to balance the game economics system.

And don’t forget to grab your little Crabby Cap gift to carry that island vibe with you wherever your fishing adventures take you. Tight lines and see you on the water!

I Am The One.

I read it from start to finish. I didn't see a fix for the chub in dnipro. Only the European chub is available to catch but the fish species says there is "chub" also.

Dear Anglers, Last night we urgently released a hot fix patch to address some of the most common issues that occurred after the Maldives Update. Here is what’s new: Resolved an issue of players not being able to take out their rod or rod stands on the waterways Fixed an issue when players didn’t get strikes when trying to complete the tutorial Fixed an issue of balancing the amount of environmental objects appearing at the location depending on the player’s video settings Resolved a bug when some words on the buttons appeared in other languages Fixed an issue with Chamaeleon Cruiser Pack appearing incorrectly in the Store in Polish localization Fixed an issue when some players couldn’t enter the game Known Issues We also received reports about other issues that some of you experienced and we want to keep you in the loop about them: We know many of you experience freezes when entering the menu or trying to move items in the Inventory. The root cause of the issue was found - and it appears to be quite complex and needs a few technical updates on our side. We already started doing them, but it will still require a few days to complete this process. We are doing everything possible (and some impossible things) to fasten it. The issue with the black screen when entering photo mode unfortunately returned - and it has another cause than it had before - it’s being actively investigated and we hope it will be fixed within the next few days. We also know that some players had issues when catching big fish (over 500kg) and on the last 2-3 meters the gaff animation doesn’t get triggered. This is being addressed as well. Some of you are getting an error when trying to enter the game. We found that it helped some players to update their OS to the latest version and re-install the game. If you are experiencing something similar, please try these steps and if it doesn’t resolve the issue, contact support@fishingplanet.com. We are also investigating the nature of other crashes or freezes not related to entering the menu and inventory, thanks to everyone who reported the issues and helped our investigation. If you are experiencing any of the issues listed above, please just wait for the fix that is on its way. No need to report them again, we already have enough information to prepare the fixes. We also get many-many questions about when the Maldives map will be released on consoles and mobile platforms. Believe us, there is nothing in the world that we want more right now than to release it for all the platforms as soon as possible. But first, we need to stabilize the Steam and Epic Games versions with a few more hotfixes. Once that’s done, we’ll focus on getting the update to all other platforms. Thanks so much for your patience. Server Reboot Last, but not least, we want to inform you that tomorrow, June 20 at 5:05 AM UTC there will be a server reboot with an estimated downtime of 10 minutes. This is one of the things we need to do to stabilize the system after the release. Thank you for your incredible patience, understanding, and all the fast bug reports. We truly hope you’re still enjoying your time in the Maldives — more improvements are on the way! Tight lines!

Hey Anglers, A new destination in Fishing Planet is on the horizon, and it's time to give you a glimpse of what’s coming your way. When we launched our first ocean location—Kaiji No Ri in Japan—we introduced you to the vastness of the open ocean. Even then, we knew it was just the beginning of true big game fishing. Now, we’re taking things to the next level with Noomaa Kuda Atholhu, Maldives. This island paradise will be perfect for Anglers who dare to think beyond the shoreline. Shaped By The Sea The geography of the Maldives is defined by two long, parallel chains of atolls, known as ridges, stretching north to south across the Indian Ocean. Noomaa Kuda Atholhu lies south of the eastern ridges, surrounded by scattered smaller atolls. Deeper open ocean waters lie to the west of the atoll, while the calmer, so-called Inner Sea is to the east. Atolls are ring-shaped coral reefs that form around lagoons, built over time as volcanic islands sink and coral grows upward. Over millions of years, marine life and waves break down this coral into the iconic soft white sands that give the Maldives their clear, turquoise waters. A Living Paradise This location will be just as vast as our Japan map, spanning 20x20 km—an impressive 400 square kilometers. It features over 55 atolls, small islands and ocean spits, with all of them fully explorable except for one, and why this one is so special you will be able to find out later when the map is released. You’ll be able to step off your boat, walk across the islands, and cast your line from the shore for a truly immersive experience. When creating this location, we put extra care into crafting the water to capture the true essence of the Maldivian seas. It’s crystal clear and teeming with life—you can see colorful reef fish, rays and small sharks swimming close to shore, and even spot sea turtles. On the beach, cheeky little crabs lounge in the sun and dash off in a hurry the moment you get too close, adding a bit of lively mischief to the scene. The Maldivian islands are truly alive with vibrant marine life. Dynamic Weather and Ocean Clouds We also introduced something new—special ocean clouds. Unlike those over freshwater, ocean clouds are often larger, taller, and more dramatic, fueled by constant heat and moisture. We’ve also added sunny, cloudless weather and a subtle heat haze effect to enhance the sensation of hot, shimmering air. To bring this to life, we developed custom technology that makes ocean skies in the game feel more real and immersive than ever before. Here’s a small preview of how the sun moves across the sky, changing the lighting and the appearance of clouds throughout the day. Maahuraa Lagoon The location will feature two starting points for your fishing adventure - Maahuraa Lagoon and Kuda Veli. The main one is the atoll with Maahuraa Lagoon, where anglers can stay at a comfortable resort to unwind after a day on the water. It also serves as the hub where all yachts and boats arrive from the ocean. We’ve received questions from players about ocean boats and whether they’ll be usable in the new location. Rest assured — your Scutum and Volans fishing yachts are built for the ocean and will be fully compatible. For your convenience, a rental boat will also be available at the location for those who haven’t added an ocean yacht to their collection yet. If you're looking to upgrade and go high-tech, there’s also something special coming your way: the brand-new Chamaeleon Catamaran. This sleek vessel can accommodate up to 5 players, offers significantly more fish storage, and is built to handle the truly massive ocean giants you’ll encounter — because the fish at this location are going to be bigger than ever. Stay tuned — we’ll reveal more about the fish in the next DevDiary, which is already in the works! All players aboard the catamaran will have their own adjustable rod holders and top-tier displays, so everyone can stay fully tuned in to the action on the water at all times. The yacht’s name is no coincidence — it hints at one of its coolest features: the ability to change the boat’s color! You’ll get a full chain of engaging missions to unlock custom color options and ride the waves in your own unique style. Kuda Veli Another starting point on the map, Kuda Veli, is a small distant atoll, home to a fishing settlement nestled a few kilometers southwest of the main atoll. The locals here have a strong connection to the ocean and stick to their fishing craft, passing it down through generations. While most fishermen head for the open ocean the lagoon at the center of the atoll is worth a cast. The Maldives, scattered like gems across the Indian Ocean, offers some of the most thrilling fishing adventures on the planet. With crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life, it’s a dream destination for anglers seeking both stunning beauty and serious challenges. What you’ve seen in this DevDiary is just a glimpse of what’s to come. Get ready to explore a variety of islands and atolls—some with their own unique feel, hidden easter eggs, and surprises waiting to be uncovered. Stay tuned for the next DevDiaries—new fish, fresh gear, and unforgettable adventures are just over the horizon! Tight lines, and see you in the next DevDiary! ___________________________________________________________________ Follow us on social media to stay tuned and be in touch with our lovely community: Discord Facebook Group You are always welcome to ask for help in our support: support@fishingplanet.com

The maximum level cap in the game has been increased from 90 to 100. A brand new fishing yacht with color customization feature The all-new Chameleon Catamaran is your ultimate ride for big game fishing parties with room for 5 players onboard.

But what makes this yacht special is that it comes with an exclusive color customization feature. Only the bravest anglers can earn it by taking on a series of challenging missions that lead to the ultimate showdown with the biggest monster in the game… Chamaeleon Catamaran can be obtained with two heavy-duty trolling setups from high-technology Tsurihito™ fishing brand, a generous supply of lures and baits for your big game fishing, and a spacious Tackle Wagon accommodating over 300 items, you'll have all essential fishing gear at your fingertips in Chamaeleon Cruiser Pack.

New Bottom Spinning Gear Another exciting addition to the game is Saltwater Bottom Spinning fishing. You get new specialized rods designed for targeting fish that dwell near the ocean floor. These rods blend the sensitivity and versatility of traditional spinning setups with the strength and durability required for deep-sea conditions. They are perfect for catching bottom-dwelling predators such as Groupers, Snappers, Amberjacks, and various reef species. These rods have a strong backbone and a sensitive tip to detect subtle bites and handle the weight of heavy fish. Paired with saltwater spinning reels offering high drag capacity and corrosion resistance, they’re built to meet the demands of bottom fishing in saltwater environments. An ultra-powerful bottom spin setup from Tsurihito™ and an extra-long spinning set from Fletch and Bradford™ go in the Atoll Scout Pack. All kinds of baits and lures specially designed to chase exotic ocean species, and a super spacious 400+ items Tackle Wagon Vault™ to have everything you need, will make your ocean fishing smooth and easy. A tropical Angler’s outfit with polarized glasses and the AquaRay™ headlamp will fill your 30-day journey through the Maldives atolls with extra comfort. Vertical Jigging Retrieval Try out a new fishing technique in the game — Vertical Jigging — where lures like pilkers, spoons, jigs, and more are dropped straight down into the depths and retrieved with sharp, jerking motions to mimic injured prey. This method draws in predatory fish from all depths — from the bottom to the midwater layers — provoking strikes through sudden lure movements. Vertical jigging is a precise and effective way to fish, offering anglers the chance to engage fish directly below the boat in deep or open waters. To help you master the technique, the game tracks your retrievals in real-time, so you’ll know exactly when you’re doing it right. New Saltwater Items Experiment with the new saltwater gear that is now available in the In-game Store. You’ll find massive Saltwater Poppers and Spoons, brand-new Triple-Hook Pilkers—perfect for targeting aggressive ocean predators. For trolling fans, there’s a full set of new gear, including Luminous Trolling Octopuses and the versatile Trolling Skirt Rig, which consists of a Trolling Skirt, Head and Hook. Livebait Trolling Rig A specialized fishing setup made for trolling live baitfish behind a moving boat. To support this method, we’ve introduced a range of new baits, including various sizes of Flying Fish, Indian Ocean Squid, and Split Tail Mullet to tempt predators like Swordfish, Tuna, Marlin, Barracuda, and more. Missions, Competitions, Achievements, Monsters Take on a chain of new engaging monster missions and come face-to-fin with two formidable ocean predators. This time, the Brave Angler must confront the fast and legendary Night Windrazor — a true hunter of the dark — and the terrifying Hordecuda, a one-of-a-kind monster unlike anything you've faced in the game before. Dive into a challenge of 6 all-new thrilling competitions and get up close with vibrant marine life of the Maldives. Unlock 11 fresh achievements as you explore every stretch of these tropical waters — and only the most curious and relentless adventurers will earn the hidden achievement. Sounds Improvements We’ve introduced a range of sound improvements to enhance your experience. These include new drag and reeling sounds for both saltwater and freshwater reels, updated casting sounds that now vary based on distance and reel type, and refined reel opening/closing sounds. Additionally, some splashing sounds for floats, lures, and fish have been updated. New background music has also been added to the main menu. Bug Fix for Multiple Issues Here are the most important things that have been fixed: Fixed incorrect display of inventory item thumbnails in the Inventory tab Fixed marker buoys accepted in club chat not showing up in 3D until the game was restarted Fixed Club-Series Glowing Pear-Shaped Float not glowing properly Corrected the description text for a rod stand in the shop Resolved incorrect appearance of navigation buoys in photo mode With the introduction of the new Live Baits category, the Japanese Squid has been reassigned to it. As a result, it can no longer be used with bottom rods. If you had setups where bottom rods were equipped with this bait, the Japanese Squid will now be unequipped and automatically moved to your Backpack. Fixed an exploit where trolling bonus was granted while the boat engine was running and anchored Resolved an error occurring when attempting to teleport using navigation buoys Fixed an issue where players couldn’t place a rod on a rod stand after competition scoring time ended Updated achievement tracking: Nile Perch now counts toward the Perch Captain achievement Fixed text overflow on the MAKE CAPTAIN (PREMIUM) button in French The level for some Saltwater Braid Lines was changed.

I cannot catch this fish. Been trying for like 2 weeks and nothing just nothing. It's sucking all the fun out this game

Maybe try in the Golden lake (the one with the Administration building nearby), look for yellow flowers on the small islands and cast near them, small hook #6 - #1, bloodworms (worm type baits) on a feeder rod setup. Peak time best.

Take a closer look at the gear you’ll need to conquer the tropical waters Hey Anglers, We've seen incredible interest in the first two DevDiaries covering the upcoming Maldives location and the vibrant ocean life of Noomaa Kuda Atholhu. But we also know that it’s the new gear that really hooks your attention! In this DevDiary, we're excited to reveal the latest additions and the shiny new treasures you'll soon get your hands on. The new Maldivian update introduces a full set of gear tailored for saltwater fishing — dozens of items built to handle the ocean’s harshest conditions. New tackle materials and technologies offer improved resistance to saltwater corrosion, ensuring lasting performance out at sea. And when it comes to landing true ocean giants only the most powerful rods and reels will do. Time to get ready for the big fight! Saltwater Bottom Spinning Rods The first thing we want to introduce is saltwater bottom spinning rods. This specialized gear is designed for targeting fish species that live close to the ocean floor. It combines the sensitivity and versatility of spinning setups with the strength and durability needed for deep-sea conditions. Anglers use this method to catch bottom-dwelling predators like Groupers, Snappers, Amberjacks, and reef fish species that typically hide around reefs, rocks, and underwater structures. These rods have a strong backbone and a sensitive tip, allowing anglers to detect subtle bites and apply the power needed to lift heavy fish from the depths. They're paired with saltwater spinning reels that offer high drag capacity and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for the challenges of bottom fishing in saltwater environments. KarasuTōha™ Designed for challenging offshore conditions, this short yet incredibly strong rod provides maximum control over heavy fish while maintaining sensitivity for precise bait presentation. Featuring HikariFlex™ infused construction, this rod remains lightweight without compromising durability, allowing anglers to detect even the slightest movements. TensaiCore™ multi-directional carbon reinforcement ensures superior strength, handling extreme loads with ease. The ergonomic TatsukoGrip™ EVA handle provides a secure and comfortable grip, reducing fatigue during intense fights. Commander™ It is designed for long-distance casting and versatility. This rod excels in both boat and shore fishing. Its durable yet lightweight construction provides the perfect balance of power and sensitivity, making it ideal for targeting medium to large fish. FaVortex™ technology enhances casting accuracy by optimizing the rod's aerodynamics, ensuring smooth, controlled long-range casts. Meanwhile, FaLineFlow™ minimizes friction with precision-placed guides, improving line release and maximizing casting distance. Reinforced with corrosion-resistant components, this rod is built to withstand the toughest saltwater conditions while delivering reliable performance. The new location features approximately 55 atolls, small islands, and ocean spits you can step onto from your boat, making onshore fishing a big part of the experience. That’s why we’ve prepared specialized gear for long-distance casting — this lineup features the longest Bottom Spinning Rod in the game. It’s perfect for targeting massive bottom-dwelling fish like Grouper from the shores of the lagoons. Saltwater Casting and Spinning Rods Saltwater casting and spinning rods aren’t new to you, but we’re expanding the lineup with even more powerful gear built to handle massive ocean predators—this time with a focus on trolling. Kōdo Kage™ Designed for high-power offshore trolling, this saltwater casting rod delivers strength and precision for battling extra-large fish. The curved butt section provides better leverage, reducing strain during prolonged fights. Its medium length balances power and control. Built with TensaiCore™, the multi-directional carbon fiber core ensures high durability under heavy loads. The RyuKen™-reinforced tip adds strength while maintaining flexibility for precise hook sets. TatsukoGrip™ high-density EVA handle offers a secure hold, even in wet conditions. Made for deep-sea trolling, this rod is built to handle the ocean's toughest predators. MizuJigu™ It is a set of short yet powerful saltwater spinning rods designed for handling medium to large fish. Built for balance and sensitivity, they combine cutting-edge materials with advanced engineering to maximize casting efficiency and durability. Featuring HikariFlex™, these rods utilize ultra-thin graphene layers for strength, allowing anglers to detect the lightest bites while maintaining full control. TensaiCore™ reinforces the blank with multidirectional carbon fiber and nanoceramic layers, ensuring durability under extreme pressure. The TatsukoGrip™ ergonomic handle offers a secure, fatigue-free grip, making long fishing sessions more comfortable. BreakwaterX™ Engineered for long-distance casting, these rods excel both from shore and boat, providing effortless control and sensitivity. Featuring DynamicCore™, the blank is constructed with advanced lightweight composites, offering excellent flexibility to absorb sudden movements without sacrificing strength. FaVector™ reinforces the rod with high-tensile polymer layers, ensuring a perfect balance between power and sensitivity—allowing anglers to detect subtle bites while maintaining complete control over their catch. With an ergonomic, non-slip EVA handle and a perfectly balanced design, this rod delivers comfort, precision, and reliability in every cast. Saltwater Casting and Spinning Reels Jōnin™ Our favorite item in this update is the asymmetrical Jōnin™, a saltwater casting reel engineered with cutting-edge Rinkaku® technology. Its frame, inspired by the natural flow of ocean currents, enhances ergonomics and torque distribution for smooth, efficient retrievals under heavy pressure. The KaijutsuShield™ triple-layer corrosion protection defends against salt, sand, and wear, while Shinobi™ precision gear alignment minimizes noise and vibration, ensuring ultra-smooth performance in the toughest conditions. Tengu Kai™ It is a saltwater spin reel designed for smooth, effortless retrievals under extreme strains. Its full metal body ensures strength and stability under heavy loads. The KaijutsuShield™ corrosion-resistant sealing protects internal components from saltwater and debris, guaranteeing long-term reliability. Additionally, Shinobi™ silent gear alignment minimizes noise and vibration for an ultra-smooth experience. Whether battling big fish offshore or enduring rough waters, this reel is built to perform. JigokuTen™ This saltwater spin reel combines durability and precision. Its lightweight construction ensures easy handling, making it ideal for long fishing sessions. Designed for small to medium-sized fish, it features RyuGear™ multi-layered steel gears for smooth power transfer and KaijutsuShield™ triple-layer corrosion protection to withstand tough marine environments. JigokuTen™ is a perfect mix of durability and sensitivity for jigging. BossCast™ Designed for versatility, these durable saltwater spin reels are perfect for long-distance casting and handling medium to large fish. The combination of TorqueFlow™ technology for smooth torque under heavy loads and HydroLock™ sealing for unmatched water resistance ensures flawless performance in all conditions. With a lightweight construction and advanced balance provided by FaBalancePro™, these reels offer reliability, comfort, and precision for extended fishing sessions. XCurrent™ It is a saltwater spin reel that delivers consistent power and smooth performance under extreme conditions. FaLight™ aerospace-grade aluminum construction keeps it lightweight yet durable, reducing fatigue on long trips. TorqueFlow™ precision-machined gears provide consistent torque, ensuring seamless power transfer when fighting fish. For ultimate protection, HydroLock™ triple-layer sealing safeguards internal components from salt, water, and debris, extending the reel’s lifespan. Terminal Tackle Lines are getting stronger to handle bigger fish, and a brand-new series is making its debut—Saltwater Fluoro Lines. These fluorocarbon lines offer superior clarity in the water, making them less visible for fish and as a result scaring them off less. While fluoro lines are less powerful than mono lines in general, they outperform mono of the same diameter when it comes to strength—making them a top choice for stealthy, heavy-duty saltwater fishing. Saltwater Fluoro lines will go in two colors—clear and transparent pink that blends seamlessly underwater making it even harder for fish to detect. A new Color Series of Saltwater Mono Lines is also on the way—thinner yet stronger than the current options in the game. These lines feature fresh, eye-catching colors that stand out above the water for better visibility, while remaining subtle below the surface to avoid spooking fish — making them a perfect addition to your vibrant gear collection. Available in muted blue and striking purple options. Saltwater Titanium Leaders are now being added to the game—and we know you’ve been waiting for them! While titanium is known for its strength and resistance to bite-offs, it’s also quite visible in clear ocean water. That’s why the saltwater version comes with a silicone coating—making them less noticeable and more flexible. These leaders will help you handle toothy predators with greater confidence. Just keep in mind—saltwater fish are clever, and some may still get suspicious when they spot a leader! Another cool addition in this update will be extra strong and sharp Saltwater Hooks with a specialized geometry for better hooking efficiency. Since the Maldives will be home to a variety of relatively small coral reef dwellers, you'll also get smaller-sized saltwater hooks designed specifically for targeting these fish. Overall, the range of saltwater hook sizes is expanding. You’ll also get new Saltwater Sinkers with a unique design—featuring an elongated body and a ball-shaped end to enhance stability and sinking performance. Ideal for rough waters and strong currents. Saltwater Lures For those chasing topwater predators, there’s something new to try — Saltwater Poppers. These new lures ensure maximum splash and attraction, while the reinforced body construction provides long-lasting performance. Equipped with strong single hooks for improved catch efficiency. Another shiny addition that true anglers will fancy are Saltwater Stealth Poppers designed for surface hunters. Equipped with two treble hooks for a secure hold, ensuring your catch has no chance to escape. Saltwater Spoons share the classic design of their freshwater counterparts but are built to withstand the harsh conditions of saltwater fishing. A must-have for coastal fishing and slow speed trolling, designed to attract a variety of ocean predators. Their simple design makes them a reliable choice for targeting predators in open water or near structures. A timeless tool with solid performance. Luminous Trolling Octopuses feature a glow-in-the-dark design, making it highly effective for deep-water and night fishing — a popular choice in the Maldives, where a wide variety of fish are actively feeding after dark. With lifelike tentacles and durable silicone construction, it provides realistic movement that attracts predators like Swordfish even in low-light conditions. Perfect for trolling at all speeds. There’s also something new coming for trolling fans — Trolling Skirt Rig — a highly popular large silicone trolling lure designed to be rigged on a jig head and consists of three elements - Trolling Skirts, Heads and Hooks. This type of lure is now available in several unique variations. Trolling Skirt is specifically crafted for Billfish and Tuna fishing. It features a flexible and durable build that ensures lifelike movement in the water, attracting attention with its vibrant colors and natural flow. Trolling Skirt Head is a streamlined, slanted-cylinder trolling skirt head designed for offshore big game fishing. Its hydrodynamic shape creates an enticing bubble trail. Perfect for rigging with skirts and targeting large pelagic species. Trolling Skirt Hook is a high-quality stainless steel trolling hook rigged with a durable 49-strand cable for maximum strength and flexibility. Designed for use with trolling skirts, this hook provides a reliable and secure connection to handle powerful offshore species. Saltwater Baits and Live Bait Trolling Rig A variety of new unique baits are coming your way— Fish Head and Black Tiger Shrimp, Flying Fish of different caliber, Split Tail Mullet, Indian Ocean Squid, Indo-Pacific Swimming Crab, Natal Rock Oyster Meat, and Filamentous Red Algae. Some of these new baits, along with several already available in the game, are perfect for the Livebait Trolling Rig, a special fishing setup used to troll a live baitfish behind a moving boat to attract large predatory fish. It's a highly effective method for targeting species like Swordfish, Tuna, Marlin, Barracuda, and many more. Saltwater baits in the game are growing more impressive in size — making them irresistible offerings for even the most massive ocean predators. The main feature of this rig is that the bait must be alive during setup, even though it usually becomes non-living in the process of rigging. The Livebait Trolling Rig is a highly popular and effective method for saltwater fishing, known for significantly increasing the chances of landing large predatory fish. When setting up a Live Bait Trolling Rig, start by adding one of the essential components — either a Live Bait Trolling Hook or a Head Starter Sinker. Then, attach the second piece and finish the setup with a Live Bait. If you're targeting toothy predators, don’t forget to add a leader — and you’re all set for an exciting trolling adventure! Vertical Jigging Retrieval Vertical jigging is now part of the game — opening up new possibilities for fishing and bringing fresh variety to spinning fishing. It is a dynamic and highly effective technique for catching predatory fish. Whether they’re lurking midwater or hugging the bottom, you can lure them to the surface by teasing them with pilkers, spoons, jigs and other vertical-friendly lures to provoke a strike. Drop your metal jig or pilker straight down and let it sink, close the spool and then work it back up with sharp, rhythmic jerks to mimic an injured fish or squid - lift your rod upward, and slowly reel in as it drops - and get ready for some serious strikes. You will now be able to see the game track this retrieval in the special HUD and understand whether you are doing it right. Catamaran Fishing Spots As you may remember from our previous DevDiaries, the new Chameleon Catamaran is special not only for its unique design, but also for the color customization missions. But that’s not all. To make your time on the water more convenient, each of the five fishing spots on the yacht now features its own display and two adjustable rod holders. You can still use your Tablet on board to place Marker or Navigation Buoys, but now you’ll also be able to track what’s happening on the water and manage your rods simultaneously. Easily switch between GPS map, Sonar, and FishFinder360 with a single button press. The rod holders are fully adjustable, allowing you to change both the angle and direction for maximum comfort and flexibility, depending on your preferred fishing style. It’s all intuitively controlled using your mouse buttons and scroll wheel. We know some players enjoy fishing solo, while others prefer teaming up with just one or two friends in Fishing Together sessions. But don’t forget — there’s an XP bonus for fishing with friends and club mates, and the more players you have, the bigger the boost for everyone. If you fill all five fishing spots, you’ll get a significant XP bonus, making teamwork more rewarding than ever! And last, but not least As we get closer to the release of this exciting new location, we want to thank our amazing community of anglers for the incredible interest and support you’ve shown with every DevDiary we share. Since we know many of you are actively leveling up to be fully ready for the big launch, we’ve prepared something just for you — the Ultimate Japan Bundle, which includes all three Japan Ocean Packs at 20% off available exclusively on Steam. Please note that if you already own any of the Japan Ocean Packs, the price of that pack will be automatically deducted from the bundle total — so you can grab the other two at a discount. And here’s a little something to look forward to for everyone on all the platforms: every single player will receive a special gift from our team — a unique Crabby Cap to celebrate the launch of Noomaa Kuda Atholhu, Maldives! Stay tuned so you don’t miss the release and can claim your gift right on time! We can't wait to see you out on the water — tight lines and happy fishing! _______________________________________________________________ Follow us on social media to stay tuned and be in touch with our lovely community: Discord Facebook Group You are always welcome to ask for help in our support: support@fishingplanet.com *All visual content in this DevDiary is crafted to showcase the upcoming features; however, there may be slight differences upon the actual release of the update

I 100% agree with this statement. I knew I wasn't the only Aussie who's been wanting Australian locations to be added! I would absolutely love to see the developers add locations such as the following: Jacobs Well - I have been there once, and it is a stunning place! It is a must have. Between Brisbane and Goldcoast, you would expect it to be heavily urbanised. But it's actually quite the opposite. It has a more rural atmosphere to it, mostly because of the sugarcane farms around it. Species of fish here definitely include Herring, Barramundi, Bream, Flathead, and plenty more. Fitzroy River - Ahh, this amazing place!! I have so many memories here! Caught plenty of catfish, bream, Barramundi, and I've even caught a bull shark there once when I was younger. Fitzroy River is situated in Rockhampton, and is an iconic place in Central Queensland, being named, "Home of the Barramundi" and "The Beef Capital." Species of fish here definitely include Herring, Barramundi, Bream, Flathead, and plenty more. More locations around the Rockhampton region would definitely include Thompsons Point, Gladstone Port, and areas around Yeppoon. Mackay Harbour - It's a must have to include this awesome location. Cargo ships, crocs, sharks, casinos, and big fish! What more could you want? An update in Fishing Planet including this location. Species of fish here definitely include Herring, Barramundi, Bream, Flathead, Mackerel, and plenty more. Swan River - A beautiful river that runs right through Perth. Great place for meals, big fish, and plenty of stories. Species of fish here definitely include Herring, Barramundi, Bream, Flathead, and plenty more. Sydney Harbour - Definitely can't leave this iconic city out!! Home of the Opera House and the great Sydney Harbour Bridge. This would be an amazing location to add to Fishing Planet!! Plenty of species of fish live here, both big and small.

I would like to see separate tackle boxes (backpack) for fresh water and salt water. You could go to home storage and select which tackle box you would need for your intended site. This would greatly save on the process of moving 100?? fresh water items from your backpack to home storage and then moving 100?? salt water items to the backpack.

Due to the many items required for fresh water fishing that would have to be removed so that you can add salt water items - it would make sense to have different tackle boxes that you can select from home storage depending on where you have going to be fishing.

I'm not too sure about the levels. But if I had to start over I'd do something like this. 1. As long as my keepnet is smaller than 40Kg's, target Trout at Rocky Lake. I'm not keen on Lonestar or Mudwater. Allround bottom rod, Jigwinner spinning rod. 2. When I have the 40Kg net, target Walleye and Pike at Emerald Lake. Nero match rod, Big Alli bottom, Farcaster casting rod. 3. When I have a 100Kg net, target Bass at Neherrin. Nero match rod, Big Alli bottom, Farcaster casting rod. 4. 200Kg net, target Lake Trout at White Moose Lake with rods like the Bottom Sniper and the Loki spinning rod. 5. Then when I can get the heavy gear and have some money, start thinking about St.Croix. Basically that's where I am at the moment. Level 45, going to St.Croix soon for the first time. But for this you need rods like the Brutus match, Cat Boxer bottom, Zeus spinning etc. Heavy stuff. Rods just mentioned as examples.

Make sure your thread is under the correct forum (Waterways, Fish, Challenges etc). Do not advertise Advertising your own website is not allowed. You may create helpful spreadsheets and such, but do not advertise your own or others websites/forums that are not related to Fishing Planet. Advertising other games in the forum will end up with a warning or a ban. Language All posts must be under their appropriate language sub-forum. Do not post anything in any other language than the sub-forum is meant for (e.g posts in Portugese under English Fishing Planet sub-forum). Appealing bans or warnings Do not discuss your ban or warning in the forum. If you have any questions or concerns, contact one of the moderators of the forum. Release date harassment Do not spam forums with questions about release dates. Discussing such things is allowed, but updates come, when it’s time and developers are ready to release new content. Everything in this post is a subject to change without a notice. Make sure you keep yourself up-to-date with the forum rules!
