St. Patrick’s Day 2025: Kick The Snake!



When the waters turn a festive shade of green, the notorious Snakeheads make their grand return, stirring up trouble again. But fear not, Brave Angler! It’s up to you to clear the waters and restore order — because if there’s one thing St. Patrick teaches us, it’s that persistence and a bit of luck can handle even the trickiest of pests!



[h2]Get ready, Brave Angler, it's time to get rich and famous![/h2]

The leprechauns are feeling extra generous this year, and they’ve left some surprises just for you — including Twitch Drops and special St. Patrick gifts in the Personal Offer section. Be sure to check in regularly – you never know what kind of lucky treasure might be waiting for you!

What’s a celebration without the right outfit? New anglers who haven’t completed all the event missions can earn the Leprechaun Frock Coat, Paddy’s Top Hat, and Green Shamrock Glasses — plus the St. Patrick’s Song motorboat to ride in style!



And if you’re a seasoned angler who has already accomplished the event missions, this is the perfect time to stock up on Baitcoins. Don't forget that every event fish gives you a Baitcoin, and you know better than anyone how to make the most of them in the game!

[h2]In search of the Lucky Horseshoe: Rainbow Chase[/h2]

The Gold Horseshoe Stringer is the key to keeping those pesky Snakeheads safely in check, with no chance of escape. To get it, head to Emerald, Tiber, Saint-Croix, San Joaquin, Sander Baggersee, or Blue Crab Island. Win boat races, collect Stringer parts, and don’t forget to gather Clover Coins to pay the Leprechauns for repairs!



[h2]The Magic Cauldrons[/h2]

They say treasure lies at the end of the rainbow, and in this case, it’s true! Keep an eye out for Silver and Golden Pots — these magical cauldrons are packed with event baits, credits, Clover Coins, and even Baitcoins. But remember, leprechauns have their own sense of humor, and sometimes they might just leave you guessing what happened to the treasure.



[h2]The Lucky Horseshoes[/h2]

Lucky Horseshoes are scattered all around — find them to unlock a trove of special items! You could get Lucky Charm Catapult, Leprechaun's Chest, Triskele Rod Stand, Kayak Irish Rover, and even the illustrious St. Patrick's Song Motor Boat. Most Pots and Lucky Horseshoes are available to all players, even if you’ve completed past event missions. So keep your eyes open and grab as many as you can!







[h2]Let’s get down to our event fish[/h2]

To take down the Snakeheads, you’ll need event lures and the Gold Horseshoe Stringer. Completing Leprechaun’s Favor missions earns you 1 Clover Coin, but even if you’ve finished them all, you can still catch event fish and earn golden Baitcoins for every single catch!



And don’t forget about lucky festive baits! Drunken Worm, Bully Grasshopper, and the Pickled January Palm Fruit are treats no event fish can resist. They will increase your chances of catching Rowdy Bass, Leprechaun Fish, and Buzzman Tambaqui. You have time until March 24th at 10:00 AM UTC to complete all missions and achievements — 11 days to reel them all in!



Green Gear, Grand Cheer!


If you're looking to take your luck even further, the Green Fortune Event Pack has you covered! With 777 Clover Coins to spend, seven pond passes and licenses to explore more waters, and the trusty Golden Horseshoe Stringer to keep those slippery Snakeheads in check, you’ll be ready for anything. And don’t forget the Shamrock Headlamp — because when it comes to tracking down those hidden Leprechaun pots brimming with gold, a little extra glow never hurts!



Grab your gear, Angler, and may an Irish blessing bring you good luck!
Let's shamrock the waters!
