Hello everyone,
We're back with more exciting news about the upcoming Florida DLC for the Ultimate Fishing Simulator. This week, we're highlighting the coastal fish you'll soon be able to chase. Get ready to cast your lines for some fantastic species like the Red Drum, Black Drum, Black Sea Bass, and the ever-popular Mangrove Snapper!

Each of these fish offers a unique challenge and adds to the thrill of fishing along the beautiful coastlines of Florida. In case you missed it, last week we introduced some amazing sharks set to feature in the DLC. If you haven't checked that out yet, you can read it [[url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/468920/view/3862461584739830506]HERE[/url]].

The Red Drum has a unique place in U.S. conservation history. In 2007, it was designated as a protected game fish by an executive order from President George W. Bush. This order prohibits the sale of Red Drum caught in federal waters and encourages states to protect them within their own waters.



The Black Drum fish is known for its distinctive baritone drumming sound, especially notable during the spawning season. This sound is produced by muscles rubbing against their air bladder, a unique characteristic among fish. Black Drums are also recognized for their ability to grow exceptionally large, with some individuals reaching over 50 kilograms. They inhabit the Atlantic coast of the Americas, from Florida to Nova Scotia, and are a popular catch among recreational fishermen for their size and fighting ability.



The Black Sea Bass is an intriguing species with a unique life cycle. This fish grows slowly, reaching sexual maturity between one and three years of age. What's particularly fascinating is their reproductive strategy – they are protogynous hermaphrodites. This means most Black Sea Bass start life as females and later transform into males. This adaptive trait plays a crucial role in their survival and reproductive success in their natural habitats.



The Mangrove Snapper thrives in a variety of environments, from inshore mangroves to offshore reefs. This adaptable fish is a common sight around docks and coastal structures, making it a popular target for anglers. Known for their versatility, they are as enjoyable to catch as they are delicious, contributing to their popularity in both recreational and commercial fishing

What's biting?

Hello everyone,
Today I would like to give you a sneak peek at the upcoming Florida DLC! We're bringing you to the beautiful and challenging waters of Florida's Dry Tortugas, known for their rich marine life and exceptional fishing spots.

In this DLC, we're introducing a diverse array of fish species, each offering a unique angling experience. But let's focus on the stars of the show – the sharks! You'll have the chance to test your skills against three incredible shark species, each with its characteristics and challenges.

The Spinner Shark has a unique hunting strategy. Unlike many other shark species, the Spinner Shark uses a method called "rotary pursuit" to catch its prey. This involves rapidly swimming through schools of fish while spinning and snapping its jaws to catch as many fish as possible. This spinning behavior, which is also the reason for its common name, is a distinctive and rare hunting method among sharks and is quite a spectacle to observe.



The Blacktip Shark is distinct from its cousin, the Blacktip Reef Shark, in its remarkable migratory habits. Unlike the reef-bound species, the Blacktip Shark undertakes extensive oceanic journeys, often covering great distances in response to seasonal changes and food sources. These migrations highlight the Blacktip Shark's adaptability and resilience in various marine environments, setting it apart from the more stationary lifestyle of the Blacktip Reef Shark.



The Tiger Shark is the only existing species of its genus, Galeocerdo, making it a unique figure in the marine world. This solitary status in its family highlights its distinct evolutionary path. Known for their distinct stripes and versatile diet, Tiger Sharks have a reputation as one of the ocean's most adaptable predators. Their survival as the sole member of the Galeocerdo genus is a testament to their unique place in the shark family tree.




We're stoked to bring these amazing creatures into the game! Also, don't forget to add the Florida DLC to your wishlist to stay updated. And keep an eye out for our next update, where we'll reveal more fish species you'll encounter in Florida's waters.
