The PC platform really doesn’t have its own area in the forum, though this might be appropriate here and include all platforms. Everybody's welcome. Might be fun to show off including bragging rights for your Trophy and Unique (Only) catches in FishingPlanet. These are the big ones guys. The fighters that raises your heartbeat, damaged your equipment, invoked jealousy on everyone watching and caused the chat box go crazy with “WOW, NF, N1, VNF” etc. Show us what ya got!

Rig Basics and Perch Rocket Science at the Congo and Beyond PART 1: Rig Basics Hey, Musette. Why are you doing a tutorial on Rigs? Why bother when there are so many other less complicated methods of fishing? For the same reason I started my carp diary back in the summer of 2020. Groundbait mixing was misunderstood and the people who actually knew how to create mixes for 40kg carp were often harassed by those who didn't know how to mix groundbait. Now the field of groundbait has become so refined that we have mad scientists who create groundbait that break the 50kg barrier in Germany and are close to breaking 50kg in UK. Groundbait mixing is a heck of a lot more complicated than than rigging. If this mad scientist can conjure monster carp effortlessly with groundbait, surely I can crush rigging. Besides, rigging is such a sexy, SEXY angling beast. The method behind rigging is all about slow, tantalizing seduction. Bass, trout, perch, catfish and predator fish are captivated by the alluring slither and scamper of prey kicking-up bottom debris and leaping up and down through silt clouds and vegetation. Essentially, you are coaxing the fishing AI to generate a fish that will continue to follow the lure and strike at it multiple times up to and even under your boat. Phenomenally, rig fishing defeats the 12-13 meter distance nerf where the fishing AI will either send a BOLT command to a following fish or a CEASE fish generation command when the lure is too close to the angler. Furthermore, perfect rig presentation means that the first perch to attack will often be the school leader, a unique that matches the range size of your offset hook and range size of your softbait and color in relation to peak time and environmental conditions. Rigging is so deliciously wicked. If you know where to fish and how often the uniques and trophies are generated, you can fill a 700kg keepnet in less than 30 minutes through rigging alone. With lighter tackle, rigging has the force to summon uniques all over Fishing Planet with the right softbait lure. RIG STIMULI Visual disturbance by kicking-up bottom debris through scampering; Visual disturbance by rustling vegetation; Visual slithering movement that mimics larva, worms and tiny eels; Visual leaping movement that mimics decapods, larva, injured fish; Visual pop of color; Visual shape of soft bait; Sound clicking that mimics the snapping of decapods claws. RIG RETRIEVALS Full Sweep Side Sweep Combined Sweep A vertical twitch adds more kinetic energy to lift a tethered lure on a long leader, up above vegetation if fishing in tall grass for bass while sweeping. Sweeping deploys mostly stop and go or slow straight retrieval from side to side sweeping to produce scampering movement that disturbs silt and vegetation. While you can just use stop&go, twitch or straight retrievals, you are not focusing the full power of the force without the sweep, young Jedi. PRESENTATIONS 3-Way Rig: 3-Way Rig shines in silty river bottoms as it is designed to scamper and kick-up a lot of silt through it's use of dangling drop sinkers. The drop sinkers kick-up more silt than bullet sinker assemblies to create a robust visual disturbance while the leaping lure entices the perch to strike multiple times. Perch will follow the lure right up to the boat where it gets it's most lift. While glass beads can be attached to the 3-way to provide flash and sound, the FP packaging for 3-Way does not include beads. This assembly puts a high value on the large silt cloud presentation which mimic a stampede of scampering, panicking critters like shrimp, crayfish, prawns and scared minnows. This is my favorite rig for perch and catfish because I can control when to set the hook as perch attack can begin as the assembly glides to the bottom all the way to under my boat. Carolina Rig: Carolina Rig shines in tall vegetation lake and river bottoms and can hit all 7 attraction stimuli. The front loaded bullet sinker allows for the angler to slither the rig assembly on the bottom through grassy vegetation with short sweeping motion and jerks to lift the lure above the vegetation. The bullet sinkers kick-up a small cloud of bottom debris to create a visual disturbance while the leaping lure entices the perch to strike multiple times. Perch will follow the lure right up to the boat where it gets it's most lift. It's designed to make sound to further draw attention to the lure. A clicking sound is achieved through bouncing on the lake floor while a bullet sinker clacks against a glass bead. This assembly mimics slithering critters like larva, worms, and eels in addition to jumping critters like shrimp, crayfish, prawns and scared minnows. It also mimics the sound of crustaceans clicking their claws. Fish attack on this assembly midway and closer to the angler. Texas Rig: Texas Rig is versatile and hits all 7 attraction stimuli. It is capable of both slithering through vegetation and scampering through silt with it's back loaded bullet sinker. It's designed to make sound. The bullet sinkers kick-up a small cloud of bottom debris to create a visual disturbance while the leaping lure entices the perch to strike multiple times. Perch will follow the lure right up to the boat where it gets it's most lift. It's designed to make sound to further draw attention to the lure. A clicking sound is achieved through bouncing on the lake floor while a bullet sinker clacks against a glass bead. This assembly mimics slithering critters like larva, worms, and eels in addition to jumping critters like shrimp, crayfish, prawns and scared minnows.

Hello everyone how's Fishing? i'm new to the community and i loved this game so much. today i'm here to share my 1 day trip fishing challenge and show you guys all the fishes that i caught within 1 day trip period. so,anyone up for the challenge? Happy Fishing all. :)) PS:sorry for my bad English,it's not my Native languages.

Hey Everyone, I have always wanted to ask this but somehow I tend to forgot but not today. Q. How many unique is there on a particular lake? Q. Does it effect other players on the same peg? To make things clear that what I am trying to get answer off is explained below. I was at FLORIDA (lily pad), one guy came to the fish there and caught 3 Uni's back to back along with trophies and I was thinking WTH and at the same time I was stunned too. So I was like is there any Uni left for me to catch because I read somewhere there is only 1 uni per peg. So Dev/Support Team/Moderator's/Max Level Player/Anyone, who has the answers please reply. Thank you in Advance...

Hi guys not sure if there is a topicl ike this yet if so my bad. Thoughts on uni fish locations time and setup would be nice for us not so experienced. Have been hitting the trophies well but havnt had my hands on a uni yet. Currently at NC and no luck with the uni gar. Have fun

HI Guys here is a list of myself and a friends fishing experiences that we started with a little comp between us. it shows all the fish we have caught as well as the sizes, baits or lures, location and time of day, there isn't a lot of info as off yet and with your help we can update it to make a guide to catch the fish you are struggling to. post or inbox a pic of the fish with your lure bait and time and we can update the sheet to make a usefull guide for everyone. here is the link. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nQQrDIVk6HaOCzUUqClmfBdX_lqxX2Wj/view?usp=sharing Happy fishing

Why there is no gold reward for unique fishes? As far as I know from the videos I watched on you tube, there is gold rewards on PC version
