The Memorial Day event in Go Fishing brings a festive and content-rich update that combines exploration, exclusive collectibles, and new tools to deepen the fishing experience.
From a brand-new island and limited-edition rods to the highly anticipated Pineapple Hunt, this seasonal event is one of the most rewarding times to play.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Memorial Day update, including where to find pineapples, what new fish you can catch, and how to prepare for the 2x Luck Weekend.
Pineapple Hunt – Collect, Explore, and Earn
One of the main highlights of the Memorial Day event is the Pineapple Hunt, a limited-time scavenger hunt where players must search for pineapples hidden across both major worlds.
How It Works:
Pineapples are scattered in both World 1 and World 2
Some may be in plain sight, while others require creative camera angles or platforming
Each pineapple collected contributes toward unlocking exclusive cosmetics and rewards
This event encourages exploration and rewards players who pay close attention to their surroundings. Completion is optional, but those who finish the hunt will earn items that may never return to the game again.
New Island: Memorial Day Island (World 1)
To match the occasion, a brand-new island has been added to World 1: Memorial Day Island.
Key Features:
Unique tropical setting, accessible only during the event period
Themed decorations and interactive elements tied to the holiday
Spawns exclusive fish that can only be found here
This is a seasonal zone, so players should make time to visit and fish before it disappears. It’s also the central location for completing Pineapple Hunt objectives.
8 New Fish – Time-Limited Collectibles
The Memorial Day Island introduces eight new fish, each designed to align with the event’s tropical and summer themes.
What to Expect:
Fish are exclusive to the island and will not spawn elsewhere
Some may require specific rods or bait for better chances
Collecting all eight is part of a hidden progression goal during the event
Players who manage to complete their event collection may receive additional XP, cosmetics, or unlockables through upcoming patches.
3 New Rods – Equip Yourself for the Event
Alongside the new content, three limited-time rods have been added to help players participate more effectively in the event.
What We Know:
The rods are designed with event synergy in mind, possibly improving catch rates or interaction speed on the Memorial Island
Each rod may have unique visual effects tied to summer themes
Likely unlocked through gameplay milestones, event currency, or pack purchases
Getting these rods early will improve your performance during the 2x Luck period and speed up your pineapple collection.
Level Cap Increased – Now Up to 280,000
For high-level players, Update Memorial 1.0 also increases the maximum level cap to 280,000, providing a new grind ceiling for those who have already hit previous limits.
Implications:
New XP goals to pursue, ideal during 2x XP or Luck weekends
May unlock future exclusive gear or areas depending on your level
Pushes top players to optimize their gear and strategy
Now is a good time to prepare if you want to stay competitive when future zones or power-scaling rewards are released.
Exclusive Cosmetics & Limited-Time Pack
This update also includes new exclusive cosmetic items tied to the Memorial Day theme.
What’s Included:
Memorial-themed accessories, hats, and fishing gear
Likely part of crates, achievement milestones, or event rewards
A Limited-Time Pack available for purchase offers bundled cosmetics and possibly one of the new rods
These cosmetics are primarily visual, but their limited availability means they could become rare collector items in the future.
2x Luck Weekend – Maximize Your Progress
To boost engagement during the update, the developers are offering a 2x Luck Weekend, allowing players to double their chances of landing rare catches and event-exclusive fish.
Tips to Maximize Luck:
Focus on Memorial Day Island, where the exclusive fish pool is active
Use your best rods or those introduced in the update
Fish during peak server hours for better spawn rates and community help
This is the best time to grind your fishing log, especially if you want to complete the eight-fish collection before the event ends.
