Fishing Planet’s Catch & Compete Update is now live, bringing a fresh wave of improvements to your every day fishing experience!
Dive in and try out a more transparent and comprehensive Competitive Rating and Matchmaking System, brand-new Rewarding Leaderboards, long-awaited Daily Missions and Colored Buoys that add a new layer of activity to your time on the water.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s new in Fishing Planet!
Daily Missions
Daily Missions are time-limited tasks that refresh every day, giving players a great opportunity to earn additional XP, Baitcoins and Club Tokens on a daily basis! They become available to all players from level 10. Each day, you can get up to three missions with assignments based on your level and recent activity. Missions are split into Daily Catch, available to all players, Club Catch for those in a club, and Premium Catch for players with an active Premium account.
Long-awaited Colored Buoys
Colored Buoys are finally here, making it easier than ever to keep your favorite fishing spots organized. Choose from eight vibrant colors and set them up your way—mark Uniques, Trophies, Competition catches, and regular fishing spots with different colors so you can tell them apart at a glance. Organize everything in whatever way works best for you.
On your tablet, you can quickly switch colors through the buoy menu and use color filters to show only what you need. You can also filter buoys by color right on your tablet, so it’s easy to focus only on the spots you need at the moment. And if you want to clear things up, you can hide all markers and get a clean view of the water.
This feature will be completely free on Lone Star Lake, Texas and Lesni Villa, The Czech Republic, so you can try different ways of organizing your buoys and figure out what works best for you before heading to other locations. All players also have a few free color changes available, so you can experiment without spending anything and get comfortable with the system at your own pace. For Premium players, changing Marker Buoy colors will remain free on every waterway in the game. Enjoy!
An increased Marker Buoy limit
With this update, we’re also increasing the Marker Buoy limit from 2000 to 2500. We know some players were really looking forward to it!

New Competitive Rating and Matchmaking
We’re introducing a new Competitive Rating System to make competitions more transparent. The number of Rating Points you earn depends on your final placement, and you can always check exactly how many points each position gives in the Competition Details under the Rewards tab. If you already have a Competitive Rating, it stays with you, so you’ll simply continue from where you left off before this Update.
On top of that, Competitions now match you with players of a similar Competitive Rating. You’ll compete within your own group, with a separate results board, making it easier to track your progress and fight for top spots.
Please note that Matchmaking works best when enough players register for a competition. If participation is too low, the system cannot divide anglers into balanced groups, which means experienced players may still end up competing against newcomers. To create fair matchups, the system needs to know
