Patch 3.4.0 New Waterway - Mississippi Blue Crab Island!



Are you ready for fabulous fishing?
Welcome to Mississippi Blue Crab Island! This picturesque place is a real paradise for anglers in the azure waters of the northern part of the Gulf of Mexico.

The trip to the Blue Crab Island is the dream of any experienced angler. Only the singing of birds and the buzzing of insects interrupt the local silence and solitude. Along the canals – thickets of sawgrass, the water here hides many large species. You can fish from a wooden pontoon near the boat station, or you can take a motor, go for a spin along the mangrove, and enjoy nature away from the coast and closer to the inhabitants of saltwater.

You've got a big party to plan here:

New level cap
Existing leveling system will be increased to 55 levels in maximum. The Mississippi Blue Crab Island will be available for all users who gained level 54.

Locations
Despite the waterway’s impressive size, there will be two entry locations.
The first location - Mangrove Sunset - is situated next to a large stilt house, right in the center of the waterway and is a great spot to start exploring both fresh and saltwater areas by boat.



The second location - The Bass Base - is on wooden docks in the middle of a freshwater bay, amidst natural wild scenery and black mangrove trees.



Keep in mind that Mississippi is a waterway made specifically for boats and you can explore it in all possible ways. You can also land anywhere along the coast.

New fish species
Skilled anglers have a chance to catch new fish.

Bonefish,

Speckled Peacock Bass,

Southern Flounder

and Permit.


New Trophy and Unique fish

Although at first glance the pond seems calm, it hides many fish, each of which is a welcome trophy: Tarpon, Red Drum, Snook, as well as a relic resident of the local waters – the Longnose Gar.
