Dear Fishing Planet Community,

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and we’re inviting you to celebrate with us by preparing a festive feast that captures the spirit of gathering, gratitude, and tradition. This special meal reflects the togetherness and sense of community that Thanksgiving represents.

Join us for the Thanksgiving Day event and embark on a thrilling series of missions designed to help you craft delicious dishes for our holiday feast! Those who show the most determination will be rewarded with the exclusive Indian Canoe, along with in-game currency and unique fishing items. Our special Thanksgiving Cauldrons will be simmering delightful fish dishes for our festive dinner. Catch fish of all sizes using delicious Golden Corn. From Lone Star to San Joaquin, whether it’s Sunfish or Trout, no underwater dweller can resist its allure.

Featuring mid-level waterways as the primary event locations, this celebration is designed for players of all skill levels to enjoy and complete. Thanksgiving Day embodies the spirit of harvest, unity, and, of course, Fishing Planet!

Mark your calendars—the event will run from November 21st, 10:00 AM UTC to December 2nd, 10:00 AM UTC.
Our journey begins at Lone Star Lake, where your first task is to discover the Horn of Plenty, or Cornucopia. Once you find it, you'll unlock a series of missions that will guide you in preparing all the delicious holiday dinner dishes and setting up the perfect Thanksgiving feast at Lone Star Lake.





To start cooking every dish, you’ll first need to find the magical Cauldron at each event location. Once you do, you will receive tasks that will guide you in gathering all the ingredients necessary to create a variety of delicious fish-inspired dishes.

Start your journey at Lone Star with the delectable Assorted Fish Platter, then venture to Lesnivila for the savory Stuffed Carp. Don’t miss out on the delightful Fish Pie waiting for you at Mudwater!

Continue your gastronomic exploration by uncovering the tempting Smoked Trophies at Tiber, indulging in Gefilte Fish at Quanchkin, savoring the flavorful Trout Tacos at Saint Croix, and experiencing the exotic Chinese-style Carp at San Joaquin.






Every festive dinner table deserves the perfect decorations, and you can find them at Emerald! Once you've completed cooking any of the holiday dishes, be sure to stop by Emerald to collect decorations that will complete your holiday table.






And don’t forget to explore the Corn Fields—where you can find thriving corn stalks ready for harvest! Gather some delicious Golden Corn to use as bait for your fishing adventures. You can also discover corn stalks beyond the event locations, including the Selenge River, the Amazonian Maze, and the Congo River.




There are also two secret missions waiting to be uncovered! The thrill lies in the surprise—you’ll only discover them after you accidentally complete it and receive your reward. So, keep your eyes peeled and be adventurous; try different approaches and see what surprises await you!




Celebrate the holiday fishing tradition with the Thanksgiving Cornucopia Pack! This is your chance to snag the exclusive Thanksgiving edition True Pilgrim’s Doublet. This comprehensive package is fully loaded, featuring three high-quality telescopiс setups and all kinds of tackles, a spacious keepnet, and an abundance of bait to ensure a bountiful Thanksgiving catch.

Dear Fishing Planet Community,

Today is a deeply meaningful day for us as a Ukrainian team, and we’re excited to share a special announcement close to our hearts. We want to pull back the curtain on our upcoming location—the mighty Dnipro River near Kherson, Ukraine, a place of incredible natural beauty and resilience.

Many of you know about the ongoing war in Ukraine. In February 2022, russia launched a full-scale invasion, occupying parts of the East and South of Ukraine. Kherson, a southern city close to the vast Dnipro River, was seized in the early days of the invasion. For nine long months, the people of Kherson lived under oppression, yet they never gave up. They resisted, they protested, and on November 11, 2022, the city was liberated by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Even today, though, Kherson remains under constant missile threat.

The Dnipro River, a symbol of Ukraine’s strength, flows through Kherson, and we’ve long dreamed of creating a Ukrainian location inspired by the landscapes and spirit of our home. We wanted to preserve and share its beauty as it was in times of peace. Sadly, the war has scarred this place; in their retreat, russian forces destroyed a major dam, flooding vast areas and triggering an ecological disaster.

In the face of this, we’re determined to honor the spirit of Ukraine and the enduring beauty of the Dnipro. Our upcoming location captures the river’s serenity and vibrancy before all the destruction, offering you a chance to experience a place that means the world to us. It’s a place our team has known and loved since childhood, filled with memories and a connection to the natural wonders that we grew up with.

This is only a first look—we’re preparing a detailed DevDiary to show you everything that’s coming. New fish species, a new fishing mechanic, and a piece of Ukraine’s landscape are all on the way, crafted with love and dedication. We aim to release this location by the end of the year as a special Christmas gift to our players.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. This project is dedicated to the brave defenders of our Homeland and to the memory of those who have given their lives for Ukraine. It is because of their courage and sacrifice that we are able to continue our work today.

Stay tuned for a more detailed announcement coming soon—we can’t wait to share more about this special location with you!

As Halloween draws near, the air turns crisp, the days grow shorter, and a thick, low fog rolls in at dusk, blanketing everything in a misty veil. The wind whispers through the trees, carrying with it the scent of damp earth and fallen leaves, rustling softly as if nature itself is preparing for something ominous. There’s a sense of anticipation, the world is holding its breath, waiting for the mysterious wonder of Halloween night, and the Fishing Planet community is eagerly awaiting for one of their favorite events in the game!



Our journey begins on the Mudwater River, where the remnants of a long-sunken ship lie. Among the wreckage, we uncover an old chest, weathered by both water and time. As we pry it open, a layer of algae and sand gives way to reveal the Diary of the Supernatural Explorer inside.



The whereabouts of the explorer and the fate that befell him remain shrouded in mystery. Many pages of the diary have not survived, and some are heavily damaged. Within its worn covers lie a collection of gripping tales and intricate sketches. Were these terrifying monsters mere figments of his imagination, or did they truly exist? It’s up to our Brave Angler to unravel this mystery.



As you explore the pages of the Supernatural Explorer’s Diary, the ancient legends within come to life. You’ll face mythical creatures such as the Slide Rock Bolter, Armored Bighead, Double-Headed Eel, Dingonek, Akkorokamui, and Vampire Fish, among others—monsters that emerge from the misty mountains of Colorado to the distant Japanese islands.




Guided by the Diary, your journey will take you across the globe, uncovering mysteries tied to haunted sunken ships and cursed waters. Every page reveals a new tale and each mission is rooted in the local legends and traditions of the region where it takes place, drawing you into the rich folklore and eerie tales that have haunted these lands for centuries. You will face terrifying creatures straight from the myths of each location. These missions will test your courage, skill, and preparation as you battle supernatural forces using powerful lures crafted from traditional items and mystical artifacts tied to the region's history.



You’ll need to craft those lures from ingredients like grave soil, stale wine, fireflies, and enchanted relics to face these terrifying beasts. Each challenge brings you closer to uncovering the dark secrets behind these ancient legends.







The event lures—such as the Labradorite Spoon, Silicone Finger Tube, Piranha Duo Swimbait, Silver Bullet, Pearl Squid Jig, and Skull Jig—along with unique baits like Dried Fish Head, Rotten Liver, Suttung’s Mead, Pig's Heart, Bloody Flies, Blood Dough Balls, Cursed Aracu Minnow, Boiled Crawfish, and Poisonous Maggots—will aid you in overcoming the challenges and missions that await, enhancing your chances of success as you delve deeper into the mysteries of the event.




After overcoming numerous challenges and missions across all continents, just when you think the adventure is over and you've earned your reward for completing the event—a beautifully crafted spinning setup featuring the Katana Soul 220 rod and the Samurai Shadow 15000 reel, Sou'wester Hat and a pond pass for distant island of Kaiji No Ri in Japan—a new challenge emerges, pushing you to face yet another fearsome monster! And trust us, it’s a finale worthy of the bravest anglers!



For those bold enough to complete the last mission, the ultimate reward awaits: the Japanese Squid Kabuto. This beautifully crafted helmet, symbolizing the mystical strength of the ocean, merges the warrior’s protection with the elegance of a true masterpiece. It represents power, resilience, and readiness to face any challenge that comes your way.



Don’t overlook the additional challenges that accompany the main storyline! In Bolivia, you’ll encounter the Skull Challenges, where you must pay homage to the ancestors of the local people by completing their tasks. These challenges are not only a test of skill but also a way to connect with the rich cultural heritage of the region.






Another exciting challenge is the Ringing Ghost Bells, where you’ll need to showcase your dexterity and agility. Your goal is to ring all the ghost bells of the St. Sebastian Church within the allotted time. If you succeed, the ancient gods will lend their support, helping you overcome any malevolent spirits that may stand in your way.




You will also encounter something that you already know from the previous years. Pumpkin Candy Bait will be there for you to catch Bluegill skeleton event fish on all the freshwater locations, and accomplish Sweet Tooth achievement. These Halloween pumpkin jellies are just the perfect bait to liven up that holiday spirit and awaken your inner child as you go on a night hunt after monstrous bony anomalies that find pumpkin Candy simply irresistible!



And don’t forget to hunt for the wheels from Phantom Ships, scattered across the waterways involved in the event! Collecting them will reward you with special event baits and exclusive items.



Each waterway holds its own secrets, so keep your eyes open as you explore. Be sure to interact with every object you come across—every location has its own surprises waiting for you. Don’t miss a thing!



There's something else to boost your Halloween spirit! Throughout the entire event, the regular rental kayak will be replaced with the Coffin Kayak from previous Halloween events. To take it for a spin, simply leave your own kayak at home and head to any boat pin at any location to rent this spooky ride. Enjoy!



And for those who love testing their luck on the Reel of Fortune, we’ve got something special for you too! We've added some event baits to the Golden Reel, so don't hesitate—give it a spin and see what you win.



Gear up with The Supernatural Explorer Pack and get three skillfully crafted powerful setups to battle supernatural creatures. While a sturdy oilskin coat will shield you from storms and bad weather, you'll have all the essential mission lures, the coolest-ever coffin rod case, exclusive stringer to keep the monsters, extra storage slots, and access to all key locations with licenses and premium account to ensure you're equipped for every possible challenge – wasting no time as you explore the Chronicles of the[ Haunted Fleet[/b] and save the world from the forces of darkness!



Dive into the spine-chilling adventure this Halloween season! From facing off against legendary monsters to unraveling ancient, forgotten mysteries, this event is filled with intense challenges and supernatural discoveries. Make sure to use your speakers or headphones to make your experience even more immersive, follow the pages of the Supernatural Explorer’s Diary, and plunge into the unknown. This is one event that will leave its mark—don’t miss it!
