Yeah the paid version is pretty much a dead game. Since you're on pc you can download the free Win10/xbox version from the microsoft store and play there. Try sending an email to support@fishingplanet.com to see if you can get one account unbanned on steam, then one of you can play on steam and the other on win10/xbox. Good luck.

When you go to your inventory there is a tab for backpack storage and home storage. You can only access your home storage from the global map, not when you're at a lake. It's not certain baits or lures that get sent to home storage, it's because your backpack is full and can't hold any more gear so if you are already at a lake you have to either throw something away to make room or leave the lake and transfer items from your backpack to home storage. When you go to your inventory the amount of items you can carry is in the bottom right corner of your screen. What @Saberneko said is also true, your rod case can only hold a certain number of rods (up to seven) so if you don't have a free slot in your rod case the new one will be sent to home storage. This forum isn't as active as it used to be, you can get quicker responses from other players if you join the official discord server here;

There is a feedback section for making suggestions on the official discord channel, there is a link for you to join it here;

Since you're already in debt and basically trying to start over I think your best bet would be to just download the free version as @PH_Carpman99 suggested. From what I understand The Fisherman isn't going to be getting anymore updates and even if it did get updated with the South America waterways you would still have to purchase them individually. On the free version you only have to level up to gain access to new maps. If I remember correctly when Blue Crab Island became available on The Fisherman, players that purchased it still had to grind levels in order to unlock it. I don't think support@fishingplanet.com will help you because support for The Fisherman is supposed to be handled by the publisher, but if you don't have any advanced licenses and want to stick with this version your only option really is to log in once EVERY single day until you are out of debt. If you forget to log in for one day the bonus will reset and start from the beginning again ($300). The free to play version is called "Fishing Planet" (without "The Fisherman" part) in case you don't know and it is constantly evolving with new maps, features, gear, lures, baits, holiday events, etc. that you will probably never see on The Fisherman.

Yeah they changed it this year, I have the snowman on ps4 from hitting 100 players in 2020 and now all you have to do is complete the missions. My completed missions shows the same as @PH_Carpman99, was a little disappointed to see how easy it is to get the rod stand this year and have that challenge replaced with the snowman hat for a reward. When they mentioned the new Halloween event this year I was hoping for a challenge to get a scarecrow rod stand or something similar, but no such luck.

There are regular missions that reward a cap (not sure which category off the top of my head), or if you can hit 100 different players with a snowball you get a snowman cap as a reward.

The locations with the hat are the ones that have a stocking as well as a present. I did not see the stocking at Falcon lake though.

I like the look of the new UI, much easier to select a rod to use by category instead of scrolling through the entire list of rods like we do now, same with the lines, reels and other items in our inventory. In regards to new boats I'm hoping that some will be added to the in game shop for players that maybe can't afford to buy them as a DLC. The last boat added to the in game shop was at level 50. Any chance of adding the number of drag settings to the description of reels in the shop? It would make it easier when selecting a reel to buy if you know it only has 6 or 8 settings instead of 12. Thanks for this thread, looking forward to the new Halloween event!

I think this would be much better than just adding different colors for markers, especially with the large number of species at any given waterway. Colors would be limited and a filter would be much easier to use.

It's the same with other boats as well but also the markers themselves are bugged. A lot of markers are showing the picture of a gar instead of the actual fish the marker is for when you click on it. One example is at Falcon Lake if I click on a uni trout marker it still reads "Unique Rainbow Trout", but there is a picture of a gar there instead of a rainbow trout. It's not all markers though as I went to the Congo and checked a few perch and tiger fish marks and they had the correct image attached to them.

Yeah sorry, can't help you there I guess as I'm not using the mouse but the above workaround does work with a controller for when the boat GPS gets stuck for anyone else that runs into this bug.

You can, and it is, what I described above was just a workaround for when it doesn't work. Once you do that you should be able to zoom in and out while driving again.

If you stop the boat, pull up your tablet and zoom in or out, then go back to driving the boat you should be able to zoom in or out with the gps map.

This is from National Geographic's website; Hucho taimen, also known as the Siberian or Mongolian taimen, is the largest member of the salmonid family, which includes trout and salmon. It can grow six feet long, even bigger than the North American Chinook salmon. Though it is one of five taimen species in Asia, when people talk about “taimens,” they’re usually referring to this species.

This topic was brought up a few years ago here with a nice mock-up of the tablet done by @mitderplatte. Would be great to see it added at some point.

Congrats on finishing the mission! No hidden benefits, they're just novelty items for you to wear or sell for a few baitcoins

I haven't fished at Marron during this event, most if not all of my snakeheads came from Mudwater and Quanchkin. For the swimbaits I was in Quanchkin and caught them all standing in the same spot shared with me by @Hate_ful . I don't remember the peg name but on the map it's directly across from the peg where the gar are, casting straight out into the long narrow strip between the lily pads and using basically the same retrieve as @PH_Carpman99.

I'm not sure when mine got checked off on ps4 but I do have it equipped (was originally sent to home storage). All of the other items for the mission were checked off without being equipped though.

Yeah this has been pretty consistent the last few days and I've been travelling to every map. Besides not having rod holders the inflatable boat isn't exactly ideal for all of the rainbow chase missions either, tried the amazon one and only got a little over halfway through lol. Top speed is 28 mph or 45 km/h.

Also if you look at the challenges list under your profile tab there's a challenge for catching a certain amount of Leprechaun Fish, Rowdy Bass, and Buzzman Tambaqui that gives you baitcoins and some unique gear. Each challenge has 3 stages (all challenges do) and when you highlight each one it will show your progress and what the next prize is.

There's some discussion about the event here, the Lucky Horseshoe II isn't a big deal really but getting clover coins for expulsion of the snakeheads could be a problem. I don't know if you can redo the favor missions 1-4 as it didn't pop up for me until I completed all seven. If you run out of missions to do I would just see how many free baits you can get from the silver and gold pots and earn as many baitcoins as you can by catching the event fish. The missions will still be there next year. If you registered for the catfish tournament you would have access to Marron and the Amazonian maze for the races, but as I'm typing this I think registration is already closed.

I may have misspoke about the random number of baits coming from the pots. I was pretty sure that a couple of times I had only received 1 bait previously but when I kept track of them last night every pot that gave me baits had awarded 13 so I'll have to track it for the next few nights when I do it to make sure.

It's been like that for quite a while, I just thought it was broken . Thanks @shizuma

I am on ps4 and have the same situation as @PH_Carpman99described above. A friend of mine that had sold his stringer prior to the event had to do the new race mission but I did not and don't have it available to track. It is a different mission though because the races have changed and new locations were added as well. I've been doing some of the races on my daily gold and silver pot tour so if I do get a second one I'll post here but the second stringer in their inventory could be from buying the dlc, I don't know. I haven't watched any videos for the races.

Mudwater worked well for the clover spoon, spinnerbait, Irish jig, and crayfish (attached to the spinnerbait or jig, it counts for both). Quanchkin was good for the pint popper, frog popper, swimbait, and stout walker. The only lure that gave me a hard time was the buzzbait (can also attach crayfish), had to jump around to a few different places for that one only catching a couple at a time. Without buying the dlc you need a Brutus match rod (level 34 min) to reel in the event fish. You can still visit whatever lakes you can afford to and claim the silver or gold pots each day which will give you free clover coins and event baits though the number of baits you get from each pot will be random. At least you can stock up a little bit for next year's event. FYI for others there is a pot at every venue except for the Congo and Russia.
