    I play on Xbox One. A couple of days ago, when I got my first Mastery, I couldn't wait to see the new underwater scene. It was Rotterdam. After I switch the scene to the Rotterdam scene, I tried to go to Ebros(which I had already been visiting that session. After I went on a fishing trip to Ebros, the first screen loaded, but after I chose a peg, the game went into an endless loading screen. I had to exit the game to stop it, but that did not fix it for the time being, so I fished other waters. The next day, it worked fine.

    Yesterday, after getting my 3rd Mastery I tried to go to Loch Mickle. The same thing occurred, but I hadn't been there that day, so I'm not sure it worked prior to playing with the underwater scenes. I tried and tried, but kept getting caught in the endless loading screen. I quit for the day, hoping it would reset over night, but today, I am still locked out of Loch Mickle.

    I have tried:
    Hot and cold reboots
    Changing time of day
    Changing peg locations
    Resetting underwater scene back to default.
    Changing fishing modes
    The only thing I have not tried is uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but due to having a slow and janky internet, this needs to be my very last resort.

    Update:

    I tried switching the underwater scenes again.
    I went from default to Pearl scene. Nothing changed.
    I switched from Pearl svene to Rotterdam scene. Nothing changed
    I switched from Rotterdam to Ebros scene. I can now play all tournament modes, but fishing trip is still locked out.
    While I was able to get into a tournament, the fishing was bad. All rods were invisible. Rod 1 and rod 2 showed as one rod with two lures and two lines. Rod three did not show or work when I picked it up.

    After I left that tournament, I tried playing Last Trip, but it got stuck on the loading screen again.

    This may be a shot in the dark, but trying deleting any created tackle boxes you may have. I encountered a bug that would stop me from fishing after I set a created tackle box up a certain way and went to Ebro. Once I deleted it, my problem was solved. Another thing to try is; from the main screen, go to options, sign out of dove tail live, the shut the game (not the console down) restart and log back in. Maybe this will help. I honestly don't know. But they did help the few issues I encountered.

    Thanks for the tips. I have been trying to use the Default Predator Tacklebox, but I have created 3 others. I'll try all of your tips. What's the worse that can happen?

    I would delete the set ups for any boxes that have 2 carp and one pred rod. Especially any of them equipped with drop shots. They seem to be the biggest bug

    Ooh. I did have a drop shot on. I've used them before with no problem, but I'll take and follow any advice I can get. Thanks for the help

    No problem. If it works, post it here so it here so the devs can also see it.

    Attn: Devs

    Using the advice from another member, I switched out the drop rig I had set up and tried again. I was able to mode tournament fishing no problem. Once I established Mickle as the last place I was. I tried Last Played. I got in no problem and am now working on that last Mastery. Thank you Bloodtheory!

    The endless loading is being caused by the Bait Shack Drop Shot Rig 1/2oz size 6. If you have that selected try a different rig. We are working on a fix for this.
