Hey Anglers,

We’re pleased to welcome you to the World Cats Cup, a tournament dedicated to catching catfish using bottom tackle.

Compete against other players and aim to catch the biggest fish as you progress through North America, Europe, and finally, the waters of South America. Registration opens on Monday, March 3rd, with Qualifiers running from Tuesday to Thursday, followed by the Semi-final and Final over the weekend. You can find the full schedule in the Sports Tab in the game.

Be sure to review the Competitive Activities Rules and check out the World Cats Cup Pack to prepare for the challenge. Compete for credits, Baitcoins, exclusive fishing tackle, and the title of the first Bottom Fishing Champion.

P.S. Some players have reported weather differences on certain platforms compared to last year’s conditions and training sessions. We are looking into this and will provide an update on Monday.

Tight lines, and see you on the water!

Known Issues: We are aware of an issue with setup templates, where grey squares appear in place of missing items. Rest assured, we are actively working on a fix and will resolve this as soon as possible. In the meantime, these squares typically disappear after some interaction with the Templates list. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This update will soon be available on consoles, and we are actively working on resolving the remaining issues to bring the new Dnipro River map to mobile platforms. It will still take at least several weeks before we will be able to release it.

Thank you for your patience, valuable feedback and support as we continue to refine and enhance Fishing Planet!

Tight lines and happy fishing!
