Anglers, hop on board and make yourselves comfortable. It’s finally time to venture beyond the safety of our shores and get to deeper waters! With the latest fishery, Hokkaido, Fishing Clash is introducing Boats – a new way to express our angling personalities through our exquisite taste and style!

Boats were bound to dock in Fishing Clash’s port at some point and boy, oh, boy, are we glad they finally did! In this article, we’ll explore this new feature in our fishing game, reveal the usefulness of Boats, and talk about some of the cool things that you can do with them. As a little reading bonus, we’ll consider some of the more ancient means of aquatic transport. The sky is clear, and the waters are calm, so let us depart!

The drifting potential

Currently, the possibility to enjoy your unique Boat is tied to the latest Hokkaido fishery. You should be able to see it once you access the fishery itself, drifting on the tides ever so peacefully. It may not seem like much… At least not just yet! As you explore what the waters of Hokkaido have to offer, you’ll gain Fishery Power – it’s a crucial indicator of the knowledge you acquire along the way. Fishery Power is connected to the Hokkaido fishery and increases with the regular progression of each Angler. It builds up when you upgrade your Lures and Rods there, unlock Bonuses, earn Stars for catching fish, and level up your Hokkaido Skill Tree.

In time, you’ll gain enough Fishery Power to upgrade your Boat. The potential upgrades bring many benefits, some of which have a direct impact on your fishing performance! An additional Instant Catch, an extra License slot, and an expanded Skill Tree are just a few perks! Clan members will also be able to score some goodies thanks to Boat upgrades, so it’s going to be a collective celebration! Have you ever partied on a boat? It rocks!

A decal here, some paint there…

When your Boat evolves, so does your ability to change how it looks to align it with your specific taste! Need some extra bling? Just equip your Boat with a decal here and there, and select your favorite livery! If you’re looking for something unique, keep an eye out for prizes in various Events and in some specific rankings, as they may hold just what you need to alter your Boat. If you’re in search for inspiration, check the rankings visible in the in-game Boat menu – you’ll be able to browse the top Anglers and see what they’re using to conquer the waters of Fishing Clash!

Remember that your Boat changes as you progress through the fishery, and that from time to time, you’ll be required to make decisions that shape its evolution. Be sure to apply the Boat’s modifications according to your individual taste and nothing else! After all, there’s no judgment in the waters of style! If you’re still curious about the Boats in Fishing Clash, feel free to sail toward the FAQ article available here! However, if you’re still up for a swim through the written word, let’s look at…

The incomplete history of boats

Boats, as ancient as human curiosity itself, have carried us across rivers, lakes, and oceans since time immemorial. The earliest vessels were born out of necessity – simple rafts made of bound logs or hollowed-out tree trunks, known as dugout canoes. Crafted with primitive tools, these humble boats allowed early humans to fish, trade, and explore, slowly expanding their worlds beyond the familiar shores. Over time, ingenuity and craftsmanship evolved alongside civilization. From the reed boats of Mesopotamia that glided along the Tigris and Euphrates to the sturdy junks of ancient China that traversed vast seas, boats became symbols of human adaptability, enabling commerce, cultural exchange, and even warfare!

The innovations of Ancient Egypt brought boats into prominence along the life-giving Nile River. Their vessels, powered by wind-catching sails and oars, were not just means of transport but also spiritual symbols, often depicted ferrying souls to the afterlife. Meanwhile, the Vikings of Northern Europe perfected the art of shipbuilding, creating longships that were both agile and intimidating, and which carried them as far as the coasts of North America. Across the Pacific, Polynesian navigators, guided only by the stars, currents, and the whispers of the wind, set out on double-hulled canoes, mastering the ocean with astonishing precision.

Boats became more than mere tools; they were carriers of dreams, ambition, and survival. Each civilization contributed its own ingenuity, shaping vessels that conquered calm lakes, mighty rivers, and vast oceans. And now, centuries later, in the serene waters of Hokkaido, this legacy lives on in Fishing Clash. Every Angler, whether expert or novice, carries forward this spirit of exploration and craftsmanship – building their own Boats, charting their course, and setting out for new horizons.

Sailing toward the future

But what lies ahead, where the horizon meets the unknown? This is just the beginning of Boats in Fishing Clash, sure, but there’s still more to look forward to! This columnist knows a thing or two, but mustn’t spill the beans, since the deck was just scrubbed clean! Well, okay, okay, if you insist, I’ll tell you this: there are new horizons and exciting challenges strictly connected to Boats just ahead of us! That’s enough to say for now, since the Caribbean fishery was released moments ago, and perhaps someone in the Fishing Clash team might have read one too many pirate novels… After all, the pen is mightier than the sword, no doubt, but not when you’re walking the plank!
So, have fun with your Boats, Anglers, and may the waters you navigate always be calm and welcoming!
