We hope you enjoyed our little April 1st joke yesterday, but now it’s time to get serious about what’s really coming next.

As part of the Catch & Compete Update coming this Spring, we’re continuing to reveal what’s ahead. We’ve already covered the new Rating & Matchmaking system and the Rewarding Leaderboards in our previous Dev Diaries.

Today, we’re excited to introduce two long-awaited features arriving soon – Colored Buoys and Daily Missions.

Let’s dive into what’s coming next!

Your Buoys, Your Colors

Colored Buoys have been one of the most requested features among anglers, as it can help you keep your markers and fishing spots organized.

With the new update, you’ll be able to change the color of a buoy whether it marks a fish you’ve just caught or is simply an empty marker you placed earlier.

The default marker color remains green, but with the new feature you will be able to change it to one of the eight available colors.

To change the color, simply open your tablet, find the buoy icon on the map, and select it. This opens the buoy details panel, where you’ll see a new Brush button. Pressing it opens the color selection menu.

Inside the color menu you’ll find a palette of available colors. When you open the menu, the currently selected color will already be highlighted.

Once you pick the color you want, you can confirm the change and the buoy will update both on the tablet map and the 3D buoy floating in the water.

Every angler can create their own buoy color system, marking Uniques and Trophies, separating casual spots from competition areas, or organizing locations however they prefer. Buoy colors can be changed anytime, with no limits.

Since each player will use their own system, shared buoys will always appear in the default green color. The receiving player can then customize them as they wish or simply keep them green.

Tablet Filters for Buoys

When you start using multiple colors, your tablet can become a convenient organization tool.

You’ll be able to filter buoys by color directly on the tablet, allowing you to show or hide specific colors whenever you want. You can also toggle the visibility of all buoys entirely if you want a clean map.

These filters will reset when you restart the game or travel to another waterway, just the way they do currently.

Though simple at first glance, we hope buoy coloring will be a small addition that delivers a cool quality-of-life improvement to your fishing experience. As a bonus, this update also increases the Marker Buoy limit from 2000 to 2500, something we know anglers have been looking forward to.

Daily Missions

When developing this feature, we focused on a few key goals: giving players daily activities to look forward to, adding variety to your fishing experience, and, most importantly, creating new, consistent ways to earn Baitcoins and Club Tokens.

Daily Missions are a set of time-limited tasks that refresh every day, giving you objectives to complete and rewards to earn.

Every day, you will receive up to three missions, generated by the system based on your current level and activity:

  • Daily Catch – available for all players

  • Club Catch – available for club members

  • Premium Catch – available to players with an active Premium account

If a mission doesn’t match what you feel like doing, you can regenerate it and get a new
