We put a lot of heart into recreating the actual habits and appearance of these amazing creatures, breathing virtual life into a vast variety of fish for you to catch as trophies. All of them with their own unique behaviour patterns that’ll challenge your fishing skills and tackle mastery. Just like in real life, you must carefully consider which tackle to use, what bait to choose and how to make your casts and retrieves.

Next thing is the tackle

We prepared thousands of awesome tackle combos for you to choose from. And just as in real life – all tackle is designed according to its own unique physics and characteristics, even including features like wear-and-tear: rod blanks, lines and reels can all break and take damage depending on their individual parameters. This also means a fully realistic environment for aero- and hydrodynamics for lures and retrieves.

Now you can head out on a realistic fishing adventure anywhere, anytime – without even leaving your home or office, provided you have a console at hand! What is even more, Fishing Planet is an actual simulator using real-life knowledge of fishing techniques and can be used to train and further improve your actual skills.
