Dear Anglers,
This year has been an extraordinary one for us, as we turned two of our long-standing dreams into reality. The Ocean Update, an idea we envisioned from the very beginning, introduced the vast open seas and the Fishing Together feature, allowing friends to fish side by side on the same boat. Additionally, we finally brought the Dnipro River—our home location—to life, a cherished project that had been long overdue.

Over the past year, so much has happened in Fishing Planet:
🎣 The Club Leagues Season, which, despite its challenges, still brought many players together.
🏆 11 thrilling tournaments and thousands of competitions.
🎃 A brand-new Halloween Event that was both challenging and exciting.
🛠️ 10 major bug-fix patches across 7 platforms, improving the game experience.
🌊 Saltwater and freshwater trolling were introduced to the game.
🛥️ Hundreds of new items, from saltwater yachts to a variety of new tackle, outfits, event items and rewards.

Someone joked that "Fishing Planet was cooking this year," and they weren’t wrong—but what we want you to know is that this was just the appetizer! There’s so much more in store for next year, and we can’t wait to share it with you.

We are deeply grateful for your support and feedback, which drives us to keep improving and growing. While some features take longer to implement and not everything may be possible immediately, we want you to know that we are always listening and doing our best to enhance the game for you.

As we wrap up this year, we wish you and your loved ones a joyful and peaceful holiday season. May your Christmas be filled with warmth and happiness, and may the New Year bring you success, good health, and, of course, plenty of unique catches!

Thank you for being part of our amazing community. Here’s to an even more exciting 2025, together!

Tight lines and yours faithfully,
The Fishing Planet Team

Hey Anglers,

This Tournament is all about size—Trophy-sized monsters like Trout, Pike, Salmon, Catfish, and more! Register now and check the Tournament Tab in the game for all the details, including the schedule and rules.

Also, don’t forget to review the Competitive activities rules before registering. A quick reminder: only one Fishing Planet account is allowed per device during tournaments. If you’re playing with family, ensure each member has their own device to participate.

Don’t miss your chance to get the Christmas Giant’s Pack, packed with all the gear and licenses you’ll need for the ultimate fishing adventure.

Good luck, and may the biggest catch be yours! Merry Fishmas!

Hey Anglers,
We’re here to announce that the Christmas Giant’s Tour is coming next week, with registration starting on December 23rd and the Final on December 29th!

First, we want to address the timing. We know Christmas week is family time, and holding a tournament then isn’t ideal. Unfortunately, due to the release of the new map, there was no other option. Canceling the tournament wasn’t something we wanted, as we know how important it is to many of you. We truly appreciate your understanding.

Now, let’s talk about the recent changes to competitions and tournaments.
Over the past few months, we’ve introduced updates to the weather mechanics, significantly impacting how competitions work. In the past, knowing all the best fishing spots in a competition would almost guarantee success. However, with these updates, weather patterns and fish migration now play a much larger role. This means that familiar spots might perform differently depending on the conditions.

When these changes were implemented, we didn’t immediately communicate them to the community. Competitions have always been designed as an aspect of the game where players discover and refine strategies through personal exploration. However, we’ve since realized that many players perceive these updates as a malfunction or unintended issue. To clear up any confusion: these adjustments were intentional and aimed at introducing diversity and keeping the experience fresh.

The good news is that you can still learn and adapt! Understanding how fish migrate under different weather conditions adds an exciting new layer of strategy to the game. We believe this adjustment creates an opportunity for players who’ve mastered the game to engage with new challenges, fostering continuous exploration and rewarding effort in novel ways.

We hope this evolution in gameplay keeps your fishing adventures intriguing and offers new milestones to achieve. Keep honing your skills and embracing the thrill of discovery—it’s all part of the journey.
Tight lines!

Ho Ho Ho Anglers,
Cast your cheer—may the fish be biting all through the year!

For everyone who’s been asking, “When?”—the wait is over! Christmas has officially landed on our Planet, and it’s here to stay for almost three festive weeks. This year, you can dive into the Christmas Holiday and the Krampus Hunt missions, or double down and take on both!

The Christmas event starts on December 19th 3 PM UTC and will last until January 6th 10 AM UTC.


[h3]Christmas Holiday Event[/h3]

Oh man! Santa’s sleigh’s in trouble again! A snowstorm wrecked his ride somewhere over Canada—luckily, Santa’s fine, but his reindeer are MIA and presents are scattered all over the globe!

Join in to save Christmas—find the lost presents, track down the mythical Crystal Burbot, and complete holiday challenges! Don’t forget to search for those Present boxes on every waterway and grab some Fireworks for the holidays!

Head over to White Moose Lake, recover Santa’s gift bag, and get those presents back in time for Christmas! Santa’s counting on you, and he’s running out of time!


[h3]To help Santa you need to complete Fishmas missions[/h3]
Catch a required amount of Antlered Salmon to harness them in Santa’s sleigh instead of his runaway reindeer. Keep in mind that Antlered Salmon bite best when someone launches fireworks.



Explore the waterways by boat and help Santa fill his bag with lost gifts! Once you arrive at waterways, find Santa's bag on the pier to get started with the task of collecting boxes with presents.

You’ll find Green boxes on Emerald Lake, Blue boxes on Falcon Lake, White boxes on Tiber River, and Red boxes on White Moose Lake.

And don’t forget to interact with the Gift Boxes to get some Holiday treats for you!





Catch Decorator Fish to find lost decorations and deck the tree! The more fireworks you set off, the higher your chance of catching these festive fish.





And don't forget about the snow fights!
Hit a certain number of players with Snowballs to earn a special achievement.



Interact with the Snow Piles to get some snow or use the Snow Grounbait mix to make snowballs for the fights. Ready, set, aim—and dive into the game!


Complete Christmas Achievements and Missions and get an exclusive Snowman rod stand and delightful Santa-themed Tackle Box. That Snowman is a perfect fishing buddy for an introvert – you will never feel lonely when fishing with this guy, but no one will keep talking when you just want to fish in silence 😂



[h3]Summon Crystal Burbot![/h3]
Complete all missions and discover what’s lurking in the waters of White Moose! Join the festive adventure and reel in the legendary Crystal Burbot, the majestic Antlered Salmon, and the playful Furry Trout, all while enjoying fireworks and holiday cheer.



Have fun catching these magical Christmas fish, while the fireworks are blasting, and complete the Myth Buster and Deer Hunter challenges to get unique holiday rewards.



You can also try to complete the Fishy Racing challenge and get Elven Kayak as a prize!


[h2]Krampus Hunt Missions[/h2]



Uh-oh! Now we've got another misfortune on our hands! The mischievous elderly Krampus fish have stolen Santa's glasses, beard, and hat and are causing mayhem in the nearby waters. Our Brave Angler will have to track down these troublesome fish, capture them, and return Santa's stolen items.

To catch them, you'll need to question their accomplices—fish who, for some reason, decided to tag along and cause chaos. Be wary though—these fish have a knack for lying, so you’ll need to catch a fair number of them to get the truth. Get your rods ready, it’s time for some fishing justice!

And don’t forget to keep an eye for the Christmas Socks with some treats for you.





If you take a couple of Ginger Cookies and infuse them with a bit of holiday magic, you'll create the perfect bait! These Christmas-themed treats have been transformed into a powerful fishing tool. Use our special X-Mas Pastry baits for a better catch, offering something for every angler's taste.



These amazing Christmas sweets will help you catch Krampus Fish: Unlucky Krampus Tarpon, Clumsy Krampus Eel, Crumbling Krampus Payara.



You can track down the thieves by following their minions, who can be lured using special bait treats, sweet pastry groundbait, and magical jukeboxes. These unique baits will attract the mischievous accomplices, making it easier for you to capture the stolen items and restore peace!







Activate Jukeboxes using Christmas tokens, which can be earned by completing event missions or by checking Christmas Socks.





If you complete the event, you'll be generously rewarded with exclusive Christmas gifts, featuring one-of-a-kind in-game items that are sure to add some extra holiday cheer to your adventure!



[h3]Now, let’s talk about some special treats for everyone![/h3]
