The bite has been great on Lake Francis Case so far this spring. Best fishing tend to be in the afternoon when the water temps warm up a bit. I mainly focus my spring fishing shallow and have yet to catch a fish under 15". Pitching jig with plastic or minnow is working well. Fish are all over the system right now from 8-14'fow. Keep moving around with your side imaging until you graph pods of fish and keep a distance and cast to them, while retriving your presentation back to the boat slow. YOU CANT GO TO SLOW. Trolling crankbaits on leadcore down the channel or even up on the flats is turning on as well. It won't be long and the walleye will be setting up to spawn in town where casting along any of the rocky shore lines will produce males durring the day and possible a big female into the evening hours. Ice is almost all of the lower end of the lake as well. All boat ramps in Chamberlain are open and from what I've been told ramps are in down in Platte Creek as well.

MMOexp Skull and Bones: How to Acquire Upgrade Parts
Plunder Fortresses and Elite Convoys
Fortresses have received a major update this season, with increased rewards and new enemy mechanics. Conquering them grants a guaranteed chance at Skull and Bones Items Upgrade Parts. Similarly, Elite Convoys—roaming fleets marked with gold icons—drop high-quality materials, including both standard and Legendary Upgrade Parts.
Weekly Challenges and Contracts
New seasonal contracts have been introduced by the Pirate Lords. Completing these multi-stage quests often rewards Upgrade Parts as part of the loot pool. Weekly faction-based PvP events also offer Upgrade Parts as milestone rewards, so staying active in competitive content is more valuable than ever.
Seasonal Black Market
The Black Market is a rotating vendor where you can spend earned Gilded Marks (the seasonal currency) for rare goods. Upgrade Parts appear in the Black Market inventory, usually in limited supply. Keeping an eye on weekly rotations ensures you don't miss out.
Naval Quests and Mythical Hunts
Year 2 Season 2 expands naval quests, many of which now include mini-boss encounters at sea. Completing these objectives can yield mid-tier Upgrade Parts. Meanwhile, Mythical Hunts—epic battles against massive sea beasts or cursed ships—have a high chance to reward Legendary components.
Treasure Maps and Hidden Caches
Certain treasure maps now lead to locations containing upgrade caches. These stashes are often well-guarded or hidden behind environmental puzzles, but the rewards inside are worth the effort, especially for players looking to bypass the grind.
If you're aiming to collect Upgrade Parts at a steady pace, focus on looping high-reward activities such as elite convoys, fortresses, and Black Market purchases. Forming a fleet with other players significantly increases your efficiency, allowing you to clear tough content faster and more reliably.
Additionally, consider specializing your ship loadout. For example, equipping fire-resistant plating before attacking volcanic fortresses can reduce damage intake, minimizing repair costs and downtime between raids.
Don't forget to track seasonal objectives through your Pirate Codex—many passive goals (like number of skull and bones boosting service ships sunk or convoys looted) also award Upgrade Parts when milestones are hit. Equip yourself with the finest Skull and Bones Items & Skull and Bones Silver in MMOEXP today and make every voyage a legend!
