Admin Abuse in Steal a Fish is a brief, live session where developers dial up drop rates and run limited events. It’s designed to reward players who show up on time with rarer fish, higher-value mutations, and short-term perks you won’t see during a normal weekend update.

Start date, time, and duration

The next session is scheduled for Saturday, September 20 at 9:00am Pacific Time. It runs for 90 minutes and is expected to end at 10:30am PT.

Regional start times:

  • US East: 12:00pm ET (Sep 20)
  • Brazil: 1:00pm BRT (Sep 20)
  • Central Europe: 6:00pm CET (Sep 20)
  • Russia: 7:00pm MSK (Sep 20)
  • India: 9:30pm IST (Sep 20)
  • Philippines: 12:00am Manila Time (Sep 21)
  • China: 12:00am CST (Sep 21)
  • Japan: 1:00am JST (Sep 21)
  • Australia: 2:00am AEDT (Sep 21)
  • New Zealand: 4:00am NZDT (Sep 21)

Tip: Log in a few minutes early. These sessions are short, and servers can fill quickly as the window opens.

What usually happens during Admin Abuse

  • Exclusive fish spawns that are unavailable (or extremely rare) outside the event
  • Temporary server-wide luck increases that make high-tier spawns more likely
  • Limited event modifiers, including special mutations that boost sale and trade value
  • Time-limited shop discounts
  • Occasional free rewards and spins shared during the event window

Why it matters: These bonuses compress weeks of progression into a short session. Even if you don’t land the rarest fish, the combined effect of server luck and freebies typically translates into faster upgrades and more flexibility in trading.

How to get the most value out of 90 minutes

  • Join right at the start. The best spawns and give-aways often land early and mid-window.
  • Prioritize rare spawns over routine catches. The server luck boosts make high-value targets more attainable.
  • Watch the shop. Discounts can make key items affordable; buy essentials you’d otherwise grind for.
  • Leave inventory room and keep cash handy. You’ll move faster if you aren’t juggling full slots or scrambling for funds.
  • Plan your server. If a lobby feels crowded or slow, switching can help you catch more spawns during the short window.

Should you join?

If you’re collecting, trading, or simply trying to accelerate early progression, yes. The combination of exclusive spawns, higher-value mutations, and temporary boosts is hard to replicate through normal play. Skipping the event means passing on items and rolls that may not return soon—and in a trading-heavy loop, that can leave you catching up later.

Note: Event timing can shift. If plans change, the game’s listing is your best quick check before the window opens.
