Reef	50-200m	Reef-capable boat
Open Water	200-1000m	Ocean-capable boat
Wreckage	1000-3000m	Deep-water boat

Progression Strategy

Each biome represents a step up in equipment requirements and potential rewards. Plan your boat upgrades to unlock the next tier when you're competitive.

🏞️ Biome Details

River Delta

Depth: 5-50 feet (Shallows)
Access: Any boat

"Good for starting players, fresh water fish."

• Entry-level biome for new players
• Freshwater environment
• High player activity due to easy access

Reef 🐠

Depth: 50-200 feet (Coastal)
Access: Reef-capable boat required

"You have made it to the sea, your colorful ocean adventure begins."

• First progression milestone
• Tropical marine environment
• Reduced competition from boat requirement

Open Water 🌊

Depth: 200-1000 feet (Mid-Water)

• Advanced player territory

Wreckage ⚓

Depth: 1000-3000 feet (Deep-Sea)

• Lowest competition due to high barrier to entry

🚢 Boat Access Requirements

Your boat determines which biomes you can fish:

• Starter Dinghy → River Delta only
• Coastal Cruiser → River Delta + Reef
• Sport Fishing Boat → Reef + Open Water
• Deep Sea Vessel → Open Water + Wreckage

📊 Competition Dynamics

Higher barriers = fewer players = better individual odds

• River Delta: Highest competition (any boat access)
• Reef: Medium competition (boat upgrade required)
• Open Water: Medium competition (specialized boat needed)
• Wreckage: Lowest competition (premium boat required)

🎯 Biome Selection Strategy

Consider these factors:

Equipment Match:

• Does your boat provide access?
• Can your line reach biome depths?
• Is your hook rated for biome fish weights?

Competition Analysis:

• What's your lottery weight vs other players?
• Would a different biome give better odds?

Fish Distribution:

• Reef: 40% of daily spawned fish
• Open Water: 35% of daily spawned fish
• Wreckage: 25% of daily spawned fish
