Fortnite fishing hole locations: Blow up fishing holes at Lazy Lake Island, Lake Canoe, and Steamy Stacks

Likely one of the final Fortnite challenges you’ll tackle during season 5 week 6 is the one that requires you to blow up fishing holes at Lazy Lake Island, Lake Canoe, and near Steamy Stacks. It’s different from the quest given to you by Turk, in that you must destroy one fishing hole at each location — not three fishing holes at any location. Because of this, it will take you some time to visit all three spots. The other important thing to keep in mind is that you must first complete the challenge for destroying three motorboats before being able to start this one. You can do that by shooting the motorboats found by Sharky Shell.

Once you’ve done that, you’ll be ready to blow up some more fishing holes. Here’s everything you’ll need to know about blowing up fishing holes at Lazy Lake Island, Lake Canoe, and near Steamy Stacks in Fortnite.

Lazy Lake Island

Much like Turk’s quest, the easiest way to complete this one is to hop in a motorboat and use its explosives to take out the fishing holes. We’ll have an image of the map that features the motorboat, along with a general location of a fishing hole (though keep in mind, they do appear randomly). Remember, you can destroy fishing holes at each location in any order, but we’ll go south to north in this guide.

Start by landing just north of Misty Meadows and hop in the motorboat. Then drive north so you’re around the islands that make up Lazy Lake Island. Shoot a fishing hole, as indicated by a school of fish and a circle of white water on the surface.

Lake Canoe

Next, quit out or make your way to Lake Canoe, which is the body of water found between Lazy Lake and Dirty Docks. You can use the nearby motorboat at the dock to take out the next fishing hole.

Near Steamy Stacks

Finally, land at the beach to the west of Steamy Stacks where you’ll come to a long stretch of water. The motorboat is at the shallow end on the southern side of the narrow stretch. Take control of it and destroy your final fishing hole to complete the challenge.

Once you do, you’ll earn 20,000 XP for your troubles. This one can be time-consuming, but from our experience, it’s fastest to just quit out of the match after you’ve destroyed a fishing hole at one location. Then jump back in to get the next one, rinse, and repeat.

All vehicle mods in Fortnite and how to use them
Madmax characters in Fortnite.

Vehicles have gotten a major upgrade in Fortnite with Chapter 5, Season 3. Instead of simply being a great way to get around the map faster, and occasionally run over an unlucky opponent, you can now add mods to your cars to turn them into deadly weapons. Since this season's entire theme is centered around vehicular combat, you will be left in the dust if you don't learn how to fully take advantage of all the new ways to kit out your ride. Thankfully, modifying your vehicle is much easier in Fortnite than in real life, so let us give you the rundown on all the vehicle mods and how they work.
All vehicle mods and how they work
Modding a vehicle in Fortnite is so simple you may even do it by accident the first time around. While you're driving around the map, keep your eyes peeled for the vehicle mod crates lying around. These will have some text above them telling you which mod they are. Once you spot one, simply run it over to install that mod on your current car. You can also pick them up on foot and throw them at a vehicle to equip them that way.

Each vehicle can only have one mod per slot, and not all vehicles have the same number of slots. The SUV, for example, can equip any mod, but a dirt bike obviously can't use one that uses the roof slot. Here are all the mods currently in Fortnite.

Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 3 is out now and offers way more Mad Max than Fallout

The new season of Fortnite has begun, bringing players to a Mad Max- and Fallout-style wasteland full of ridiculous vehicle features and new items, including a War Bus you can work to control.

The "story" of Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 3, which is out now, revolves around a huge sandstorm has swept over the battle royale island. This has ushered in the "Wasteland Warriors," who rode in with the storm and transformed the south of the map with new locations. One is the Brutal Beachhead, a beached ship with what looks like a huge bitemark in the front.

Can you fix the Fortnite servers not responding error?

The last thing you want to see when loading up Fortnite for a match with your friends, especially when a big new update is dropping, is to be hit with an error. The worst of which might be the "Fortnite servers not responding" error due to how vague it is. Most people don't know what servers are, let alone what it means when they aren't responding, except that you can't play your game. The question then becomes if you have any power to solve this issue yourself or if you're forced to wait until Epic Games addresses it on its end.
Can you fix the servers not responding error in Fortnite?

The first thing to do when encountering this error in Fortnite is to go straight to the Epic Games Help website or X account (formerly Twitter). This will let you know if it is something on Epic Games' end that is the issue and also keep you updated on the status of when the servers are expected to be fixed. Servers can also be taken down for maintenance or in preparation for major updates, which will also be accounted for here. If this is the case, there's nothing to do but wait until they announce the servers are back up and running.
