Oh my word, I think I found my glory earlier this week. When I first started with Fishing Planet, I was always eager to learn new techniques, places, etc.

So as soon as I leveled up and Alaska opened for me, I spent the bucks and went. I decided Alaska was the most awful place to fish and a total waste of money. But.as I continued to learn new techniques, etc. I decided to try it once more earlier this week. All I can say is WOW! I had a blast and left after one day with $49,500 in hand.

I watched no YouTube tutorials, nothing. I went and simply used the techniques that many of you have taught me and I was totally amazed. Now I'm fishing like a mad woman trying to reach level 54. I'm absolutely dying to get to MIssissippi!And sorry I haven't been around for a while. Been dealing with some pretty major health issues and I will admit that Fishing Planet has saved my sanity!.

First of all: welcome to the community, and welcome to the world of tournaments As kind of a long-term player, I can sense your frustration - as I've been at the same exact point about 2 or 3 years ago. And most of the times I still am @Tapatalgud made some good points in his post, and I'd like to help with clearing some things up from my personal experience as best as I can.First of all, like @Tapatalgud already mentioned, there are a lot of variables in this game:Weather conditionsThe first one being the weather conditions. I guess you already figured that one out by now, but apart from the different types of weather (sunny, cloudy, etc.), there's different air and water temperatures, wind directions and wind intensities. When I practiced for the carp tourney last year in the UK, there's a sunny day with west wind of 1,1 m/s, and there's a sunny day with west wind of 1,0 m/s. Those two conditions are NOT THE SAME. The info you gather while practicing at the one day will not work on the other day, as fish behaviour will be different. Same goes for a temperature difference - even if it's just 1°C.Old fish AI: fishing by the bookBefore they introduced the new fish AI from the european lakes, and incorporated them to the american waterways, it used to be enough to go by the ubersheet, find out the right timezones for the different spots at the exact weather conditions, and find the right lure / hook / depth or retrieval combination.

Which is why I used to prepare for the tourneys by setting up a spreadsheet like this one.First I used to copy the trophy and unique times stated in the ubersheet, then I would find the exact weather conditions and time for the tourney (by looking at the tourney info and / or youtube videos from the year before), and then I would sit with my ass at the spots, and try to confirm the timezones / spots. What spots are there? At what time do they deliver trophys / uniques? How many do they deliver? What are the respawn-times? What baits and hook sizes can you use to minnow just the target species - especially the big ones?When the sheet was done, and I was able to replicate everything 2 or 3 times, I used to be confident about it, and most of the times be able to reproduce it in the tourneys as well. With the right setup and right rotation, there was little to no RNG involved.

Sometimes you were just unlucky with the size of the uniques / trophys, and there's not much you can do about it. But apart from that, you were in a pretty good spot for the tourney all in all.New fish AI: more variables?Now since they introduced the new AI, a lot of that stuff doesn't work anymore. I don't know how big the changes are when it comes to the timezones and spots. The more experienced players may correct me and share their info - if they like. From my personal experience, most of them still seem to work, some don't. The respawn times seem to have changed from 30 mins in-game to 45 mins in-game. Which is why you sometimes see lower scores all in all in the comps.What has come to my mind, especially since that last LMBAC is that there are even more variables to the game.

I don't know if they existed before, or if they're new. But like @Tapatalgud already said:When I was practicing for the 1st qualifier a couple of days ago, I used to do several runs at the EXACT SAME weather conditions and times. Some sessions, my setup with the jighead and different colored worms would work like a charm. In other sessions, I wouldn't catch hardly any bass with my worms, but the crayfish or newts would work great.

I'd try bassjigs, casting spoons, etc. And not catch any decent bass on it.

Which is why I wouldn't bring them to the qualifier. Then in the qualifier, the worms failed, and I couldn't get anything decent until the last 45 mins or so.

Then, the worms would work great again.Player-specific 'RNG'Since I'm always playing the tourneys with a couple of my friends, we usually keep each other updated with what works and what doesn't. We always enter the tourney at the same time, and most of the times we even end up in the same chat room. Still, we'd get different results regarding the spots / lures / lure colours. One of my friends used to catch 2 or 3 trophys in a row at spot #2 with the white worm, while I couldn't get hardly any trophys at that spot. And if I did, it was the acid green worm that worked way better for me.

Which is why I don't think that the fish's preferences are linked to the server / chat room you're in. They seem to be randomized for every player.Basic tips for tourneysSo, after the long talking (sorry ), to come to a conclusion, let me share my thoughts on what I think you can do to improve your chances at the tourneys:Find out the exact conditions and timezones for the tourneyYeah, you figured that out by now, I guess. Have a look at the tourney info, and if in doubt, go check youtube for last years' conditions. From what I've seen so far, they're the same 90% of the time. Thanks to the user generated competitions, you can now (finally!) set up a comp with the exact time frame yourself, and don't have to forward the time to day 17 or some crazy shit.

'Rather, an image of another Earth will be a,' he said. Planet alpha nsa locations.

Like, spend 30k on travel cost, repairs, and fishing licenses, before you can even do a decent practice run. Thank god for that.

But keep in mind that you have to pay close attention to the temperature and wind conditions, in order to get the perfect day.Gather as many spots as you can- Make sure to use any resource you can think of. YouTube is always a quick way of gathering spots, like you already mentioned. Fast forward videos and streams from last years' tourney first.

But also look for competition and leveling / farming guides that target the same species.- Don't rely solely on youtube. Look what other people at the lake are catching, and find out where they are catching it.- Talk to people. Most people in the FP community like to help each other out, and share info. Up to a certain point, of course. But it doesn't hurt to ask. I've met some great guys through this game, that helped me a lot.

And training for comps and tourneys is just so much more efficient (and fun!) if you play with 3 or 4 other guys, and share the info you gathered. Which is part of why you always see the VFF, FPU, and CP guys on top. And if it wasn't for @kylerobz (what a great guy BTW!) and his help while practicing together for the carp tourney, I wouldn't have made 3rd place at all. But always be sure to give what you take.

Nobody likes greedy people that just interrogate you for info you gathered over a couple of years, and never give back anything.- Try to confirm the spots you got from the different sources, and set buoys. Name the buoys with all the info that the game doesn't save on its own. Like the time of day, depth, hook size, etc.- Do your own testing. I can't emphasize this enough. Like @Tapatalgud said, you can't always replicate the stuff you see in streams, and think it will get you a top 3 position.

Go to the lakes, bring a rod-pod, look for fish activity at the lake, cast out a couple of rods, and look whats beneath it. You might find spots that aren't on youtube yet. Most of the guys that constantly win comps and tourneys won't share all of their secrets. And who would blame them? The spots you find on your own might be the spots that bring you a top 10 position. The more spots you got, the better your options are.Set-up and balance your equipmentAs a nerd, this is one of the parts about it I like the most Find a setup that works for you, and you feel confident with.

Since all the comps and tourneys are all about time, you should always go as heavy as possible. But don't overdo it. Sure, you'll have no trouble reeling in a small fish with your big-ass setup. But some fish might get scared if you throw a Zeus with a 20 kg braid line at them. Find out what you can expect at the lake. How big do the fish get? What other fish might bite on your bait / lure?

What baits do they like? And which retrieval method do you prefer?For instance, putting a hornet swarm on your jigwinner might help with keeping the drill easy for trout. But the recovery might be too high to do a slow stop & go above ground with a 4g nano spinner. Or, the bass caster with a counsellor 3000 S might be perfect if you wanna constant reel on speed 1, and do twitching while keeping the bait just above the ground with a big bass jig. But it might be too quick / slow for a stop & go with a jighead and worm.Try out a couple of setups in Texas, save presets of what you feel confident with, then take them to the lake where the tourney is at, and see how they perform.

When practice is done, you can bring a well stacked rod bag to the tourney. Like, have a jigwinner prepared for topwater lures, have a casting rod prepared with a jighead and worm, have another rod ready with a texas rig, one with a spinner, etc. Different lure weights / types behave differently of different setups, and it will speed up your performance in the tourney a lot, if you just need to switch rods and spots - in opposition to re-equipping different lure types, and finding out that the bait is too heavy, or the reel is too quick / slow.Same goes for bobber fishing. In case you need different depths and / or hook sizes / bait at different spots / times, just prepare one setup for each case.Switch it up, be ready to adapt, and learn to fish by intuition / feelingLike we mentioned above, there are a couple of other variables to the game than just the weather conditions.

The white worm might work perfectly in your training sessions, but it might not work at all in the tourney. Even at the same exact conditions / spots.

In that case, you need to be ready to adapt. Having gathered a lot of spots helps. If one doesn't work, try the next one. Having prepared different setups might help. Can't catch anything on the worm? Get your bass jig setup out. Changing lure colours might help.

Can't catch anything on the white worm? Try the acid green one. Some guys on the forums have said different in the last years, but from my personal experience changing the colour of the lure instead of changing the type of lure is sometimes enough to get fish biting again.The more you play the game, the more you play competitions and tourneys, the more you'll develop a feeling for when a spot is active, a lure is performing well, or it's not.

Sometimes you need to be stubborn and patient in order to win, and sometimes you need to realize that you're wasting time by looking at your bobber, or throwing the same lure at the same spot for half an hour, not catching anything decent. You need to find the right balance.

And it's only experience that'll get you there. Which brings me to my last point:Take notesIf you're like me, you'll forget a lot of stuff I think nobody has all the spots and timezones in his head. Take notes of what works and what doesn't. Save buoys at the lakes, and name them with all the info you might need next time. Have a notepad by your side when you're fishing, or record videos of your qualifiers to be able to re-watch them next year.And don't get too frustrated if you finish somewhere in the 300s in your first tourney.

There's 800 people from all over the world playing it. And more than half of them play it for the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time.

Keep notes of this year's tourney, and base your info for next year on that. If you can keep your motivation up, and do it again, you'll see yourself improve by the time.And to finally come to an end with my long-ass pseudo-knowledge:Same.Hope this helps anyways. Tight lines and good luck!. Well they did that in the past.

Bugfixes used to be included in major content updates only. Which meant we sometimes had to wait half a year for major, game-breaking bugs to be fixed. Like, the menu scrolling bug, which was reported in October, and fixed in February - with the Euro update.4 months of not being able to manage your inventory without restarting the game 5 times in a row.Does the size of the updates bother me?

But does it bother me to see bugfixes every week? Not at all man, not at all.I don't support the argument about FP being a Free-To-Play Game. Cause most of the free games generate more revenue than any full price title. Rocket League is free, but do you know how much money they make with the season passes and item shop? Fortnite is free, but do you know how many kids put all their money into skin packs? 2.4 billion in 2018. Candy Crush Saga?

Only 790 million.Sure, FP is a niche product, and will never appeal to such a large player base. But I'm sure they've made much more money with FP DLCs and premium accounts in the last year than Big Ben ever did with The Fisherman - being sold as a full-priced game. While I'm sure the devs love their game, I do understand that it's more than a hobby to them. They earn their living from it.And even as a free-to-play player, I think we all did our share to support the game. With forum posts, bug reports, youtube videos, twitch streams, word of mouth marketing, and last but not least with the DLCs and premium we all bought during that time. I think even F2P players can expect game bugs to be fixed in a reasonable time.To me, it's the right path they're taking with the more frequent updates. I want to clear up some things.

My complaints are not for the free part of the game. When I say that the economics are unfair now days, I mean that you have to grind when you are a premium (paying customer). When I pay for the premium I should not lose money when I just want to test different spots or retrieve types that probably will not provide me much fish.

The game has a lot of content and a lot of lakes but only handful of them will allow you to earn money so you would not go broke.I also want to compliment the team that last few months many updates have been released and a lot of earlier bugs have been fixed. But please look at that economics model for premium members as well. I can't ask you to lower your dlc and premium prices because I believe you have a good statistics engine behind that and these prices are probably the most profitable ones. But at least make the game more enjoyable as a Premium.

I don't want to fish the same fish at the same spots just to break even.And to Olkutty, do not look those youtube videos as the best way to compete in the competitions. Most of them are outdated anyways. Something that worked 2-3 months ago does not work anymore. And if you are looking videos from last year, you will be in trouble. To get good size fish you have to look for spots, you have to know what baits provide bigger fishes and all that in the context of that weather condition. Do not expect to have a good result when you use one bait at the same location all the time. I usually have 5-6 spots for the competition and use at least 2-3 different baits.

I have practice sessions for 10s of hours before the competition to find out what spots work at what times. Its hard work and you do get bored when you fish for 2 hours in a spot that doesn't give you any fish. But you have to do it so you would know not to go to that location when competing.

Random plays a big part of this game, but its really not that random. You might be lucky and get 10 big trophies and end up in top 10. But most of those who are in top 10 catch 15+ trophies and they can choose the biggest ones.The game does provide a lot of hints how to catch, most people just don't bother. They look how streamers catch and try to replicate that. It doesn't work like that. Little hint - Mudwater river has at least 9 spots that provide Bass.

Streamers use only 1 or 2. A lot of those spots give out trophies with certain baits and hours only. A lot of them don't provide trophies at all with the weather that the tournament is happening. So when you watch a streamers you have no clue why he is catching at that spot. Does he/she know something and there should be a big fish or maybe theres no knowledge behind that decision.So try to have fun and experiment with the information that the youtube videos provide, a lot of it is there. You just have to experiment yourself and find the spots and baits that work.

Don't try to catch exactly like streamers are doing it. A lot of people are doing it and then you are at the mercy of random. Some of them are lucky and some of them are not.And one more notice - I can easily say that the game is not pay to win.

My friend has spent a lot more money on the game than I have. He uses he's fancy DLC equipment etc but he ain't doing a lot better than I am. Even when I use the most basic equipment that the game offers. Sometimes he wins, sometimes he loses. The point is, DLC equipment does not catch better than normal one. Only time when you might get better results is when you need a crank bait with certain depth and weight and hook size for example and its available only in DLC package. In most cases they are available with baitcoins, so again you don't need to spend real money.

But be prepared to spend enormous amount of time when you don't want to spend any money. If your a comp guy or mission guy bouncing from lake to lake never staying at venues the economy is almost impossible. Almost everything you can buy as DLC can be bought in game. Premium and DLC are there to make it easy. If you wanted you could play the game and never invest a dime but you would have to play alot or progess at a slow pace thats why its free. It would be a terrible grind that most people would give up on but thats how every Free to Play game works. In the end they are developing the game to make money it is a business and they need income to stay in business.

The system they have is better than alot of free to play games but not all. Love it or Hate it but it Isn't gonna change. Well they got another one. I think you have The Fisherman Fishing Planet. In that case the only two dlcs are predator boat pack and trophy pack. The other things you bought are for Fishing Planet free to play version.

Similar games but different games, a real shame the names are so close. As for your repairs costing baitcoins thats only in The Fisherman, you can earn coins from unique fish, missions and challenges. Keep in mind in the fisherman anything that cost baitcoin to get costs baitcoin to repair.

Well, while I was very excited for this update, I must say that it seems to be bugged on PS4.When the competition starts, the counter counts down, you can enter, but if you start fishing, you're not in the competition. Not the right weather conditions, no top 10 table. Something is not working there.Once you restart the game, you can correctly enter the competition, choose your spot, go to the lake, and you'll see the scores. But since the user generated comps are live (why?), you'll have already lost 8 minutes of your fishing time by then.I really love this feature, and think it can bring so much to the game. But from my first impression it is still bugged.Happened at Weeping Willow UK.

Will do some more testing in the next days.Thank you guys for putting it out. It'd be awesome if you could fix this, though. Thanks!Edit: why can't we give the comps custom names?

I don't understand that part of it. Also, it doesn't show the wind direction when I create a custom comp. The menu is a bit confusing here. It'd be awesome if you could make it easier to identify and set the specific conditions.
