There's a new type of contest available this weekend in Fortnite that will put your angling skills to the test.

Starting from today, you'll be able to take part in the Fishing Frenzy angling contest in Fortnite. The event runs until 8 pm ET/ 5 pm PT on November 24, which is 1 am GMT on November 25 and all you'll need to take part is a Fishing Rod.

Be warned: any fish caught with the Harpoon Gun will not count! You'll also be able to buy the Triggerfish from the item store today from 12 am GMT/ 7 pm ET/ 4 pm PT.

How to take part in the Fishing Frenzy competition

The only thing you need to do to participate is pick up a Fishing Rod and compete to be the best in one of the six categories listed below. Winners will be notified through the in-game gifting system and the email address of the account attached to the Epic ID from the winning account, so make sure you have two-factor authentication activated.
