What is Halloween without magic and dreadful monsters? That is why we have a bunch of special missions for you. The main one is ”FrankenFish Hunt”. But you need to complete them all! Rumor has it, there’s a abominable monster-fish that will devour anything alive, even humans! The only opportunity to summon and hunt it down is during this year’s Halloween festivities. Head over to San Joaquin, find the island with the Witching Cauldron and deal with the vile Frankenfish! The second one is -"Get the Book!" To complete this mission you need to find an ancient magic book and choose that one potion that will help you to summon the Frankenfish. Head over to Quankchin Lake and catch all of the wicked witch’s pets Catfish at midnight using special Halloween baits to retrieve the magic book! “Potion of Summoning” You’re in for a real scavenger hunt and plenty of fishing adventures to collect all of the necessary items for brewing the Frankenfish Summoning potion! Find the Witching Cauldron on San Joaquin and put all of the magic ingredients according to the Witching Recipe Book at the Cauldron! In next missions you need to collect all the ingredients for the summon potion: “Bunch of Mandrake Roots” Wait for nightfall and head over to Falcon Lake in the mountainous region of Oregon to find these mythical plants that will glow in the dark! “Jar of Fish Eyes” The second ingredient of the Summoning Potion is Fish Eyes taken from a Bowfin that was caught after midnight using Roaches as bait! This is Frankenfish’s favorite snack and will definitely get his attentions. “Skeleton Tail” Let’s start with the Skeleton Bluegill by getting its tail! Catch these fishy Skeletons only in special power places during night time, each corresponding a certain planet. “Ghost Essence” You should put you soul into everything you do, particularly if you’re brewing a magic summoning potion! However, in this case, the Witching Book means literally adding some Ghost Pike essence! Catch enough of these fishy spooks during night time to gather a sufficient amount of their ethereal essence and attract the Frankenfish! “Green Ogre Scale” The summoning potion should be colored in a very sparkly shade of green. You’ll need to add plenty of green fish scales taken from the most fierce and hard-to-catch Gar in Neherrin River. “Albino Yeti Gills” Catching a monster fish is quite a task. But catching an albino monster fish is even a bigger challenge! Head on over to Everglades night for your next magic ingredient and get some gills from Albino Yeti. “Black Vampire Fin” Now, the recipe says that you must add the fins of blood-sucking monsters! It’s a good thing that Black Vampire Gars were recently spotted in Louisiana. Of course, you can only catch them during night time at Quanchkin. Good Luck to all brave anglers who will try to catch the Frankenfish!

Hey, anglers! Today we’ll tell you a little about the basic purpose and functioning of the key feature of most fishing reels - the drag system. The drag system is one of the most important mechanisms in any spinning or baitcasting reel. Basically, its purpose is to allow the line to slip instead of breaking under the excess pressure from playing a large fish. This prevents from losing your terminal tackle as well as minimizes damage to the rod and reel. There are two types of drag systems: Front-drag in spinning reels The front-drag system is much more sensitive and will react even to the slightest pressure exerted by the fish on the line. The drag system on spinning reels is located in front of the spool. In this case, drag adjustment is accomplished by turning a screw. While the front-drag system is basically a screw that secures the spool, in baitcasting reels, the drag can be adjusted by a single push of a button. Rear-drag in spinning reels The rear drag is less sensitive and is more commonly used when angling with heavier tackle to handle the bigger fish, particularly when feeder fishing, trolling or using super powerful spinning rods. It allows for quick and simple adjustment right while you’re reeling in the fish. P.S.: By the way - It would help you to fight Halloween’s Monsters

Hi dear players! Do you know all the retrieves in Fishing Planet? Here we have a useful manual for you!

Hey, anglers:) As you well know, Fishing Planet will soon be expanding its fishing premises onto the much awaited European regions! An so, today we’ll tell you about the Ghent–Terneuzen Canal in the Kingdom of the Netherlands - a place where you’ll be having some unforgettable fishing adventures! Also known as Zeekanaal (or simply the Sea Canal), it links Ghent in Belgium to the port of Terneuzen on the Westerschelde estuary in the Netherlands. This deep canal (about 12m / 40 ft in depth) runs 200m (660 ft) wide and 32 km (20 mi) long, while serving as a navigable passage for large vessels almost all year round. The in-game fishing locations are situated on the part of the canal near the small town of Westdorpe, just a few miles off the Belgium–Netherlands border. The shoreline is somewhat monotonous, which on the one hand makes this area seem a bit dull, but on the other - provides a perfect location for large-scale feeder and float fishing competitions. In fact, World Feeder Championships 2015 was held here as well as countless regional and local competitions. Among other things, this canal is so attractive to anglers because it is inhabited both by typical freshwater species (Ide, Common Bream and Common Roach) as well as sea fish (like the European Flounder, Thicklip Grey Mullet and the European Eel). Only the eastern bank (right side) of the canal in this location is available for fishing. The fishing area is about 1km in length. Since this waterway is a canal, the steady-sloping grassy bank is basically unchanging, lined with some reed thickets close to the shore. Beyond the fishing area, you’ll see a hilly tree-lined landscape with a highway and farm fields barely noticeable in the distance. Although the landscape and the shoreline are largely unchanged, the fishing area can be roughly divided into two parts, that is two fishing locations: 1) An urbanistic bank near a large highway span bridge, overlooking a large elevator and massive warehouses on the opposite side; 2) A shoreline overlooking Dutch houses and farm fields with windmills. Here are some interesting man-made objects that we added as part of the scenery: 1) a highway span-bridge across the canal; 2) huge cargo ships navigating the canal; 3) towboats and freight-laden barges navigating the canal; 4) an industrial area with a moore and an elevator across the canal; 5) modern and old-fashioned windmills atop the hills across the canal; 6) Dutch-style houses as part of the landscape. Here’s a quick overview to give you a general idea on how we created the new waterway: First off, our game-designer (who is also an expert angler) did some in-depth R'n'D looking for the right waterway in the Netherlands. The key factor to consider was the waterway’s popularity particularly among feeder anglers in the region. Since we were looking at the Netherlands, we wanted it to be a canal, to add some local coloring. Among other factors were the abundance of fish species, some interesting landscapes (we don’t want to repeat ourselves), etc. Once we found the perfect waterway, our angling game-designer drafted up a detailed plan with a map and all the necessary info that was further handed over to our 3D artists. It was up to them to create the scene, plant the trees and bushes, design and scale the industrial objects, etc. After that, it was up to our programmers to do some coding magic and make the towboats and cargo ships move, the windmills spin, the cars drive and the span-bridge turn. Finally, once all of that was completed, it was once again up to our angling game-designer to create the waterway’s bottom terrain and structure. And right now, we are working on the fish setup for this waterway which is one of the final steps before waterway introduction into the Game.

The coolest thing about bottom fishing is the possibility of using different rods simultaneously! That’s what makes so many anglers hyped about this way of fishing, and that’s exactly what we are currently working on!;) Once the whole Multi-rod feature is introduced to the game, we’ll also be adding new fishing equipment, namely the Rod Holders, that will let you catch fish using multiple rods at the same time! At first, we plan to add about 7 different kinds of Rod Holders, that will mostly differ by their rod capacity, being capable of holding from 1 to 4 rods each. This means that the player will get a chance to take one Rod Holder on a fishing trip and use it by setting up in any convenient location, as well as adjusting its direction and height. We also plan to add the possibility of taking multiple Rod Holders with a capacity for 1 rod, so that you could set them up in different locations. Certain rod holder models will even have a Bite Signal feature installed. Aside from this, we’ll also be adding stationary rod holders on some of the waterways that will be available for all anglers to use. When all the functionalities related to bottom fishing and rod holders are introduced to the game, the players will be able to fish using various lures and baits simultaneously, which should drastically change everyone’s attitude to float and bottom-fishing rigs!

Hey dear anglers, if you’re keeping track of the posts in our Dev Diaries, you might already know that aside from introducing bottom fishing and new European waterways, our team is working hard on adding Missions to your Fishing Planet experience! In this release , we are happy to present you the 1st iteration of the Missions update - Tutorial Missions. These missions are available to all players, and while they were specifically created to enrich and make the learning process more efficient for the less experienced folks, many of them will be quite useful even for the more proficient anglers. After all, Tutorial Missions are based on tasks that help you get a deeper understanding of the game as well as apply logic to choosing the best and most appropriate tackle and baits. This means, no matter how good you think you are, there still might be some cool features you overlooked! Tutorial Mission are comprised of a number of tasks accompanied by hints and will be available as you progress all throughout the game. There is a special Missions tab, where you can see the list of completed missions as well as the description and progress status of the current one. If you choose to track your current mission, all related hints and tasks will be showing up as you play the game. Or you can simply untrack your Mission to turn off the hints and mission widget. Missions are a new addition to your overall gaming experience that can be both fun and useful, but they are optional, and whether to complete them or not is entirely up to you! However, we do hope that you’ll use this opportunity to sharpen your perspective, learn cool new things and get a better understanding of the game as you explore the Fishing Planet world with Missions and, of course, get rewards for completing them! Like we already said, this is only the 1st iteration of Missions update. The next iteration will include more complex missions for more experienced players of average or high proficiency levels and will be aimed at exploring the waterways and mastering your fishing skills. These tasks will require a lot of effort and skill on your part, but with greater rewards to match the sweat and tears you put in! Also, the next iteration of the mission will allow you to catch a new special fish that is not available in ordinary gameplay! Besides missions, Patch 1.3.2. will bring you: new challenge: the Barbless Master Level XP requirements changed to be in sync with new and upcoming missions. updated local and global map UI updated game UI controller improvements new sound effects more menu music And so, with the Missions finally out, you can substantially improve your progress, discover cool new fishing spots, tackle and features or simply test yourself to see if there was some stuff you might’ve been missing all along?
