fish trace

A logbook is a powerful tool for anglers to record catches including additional information, to draw out conclusions about the behavior of fishes. Based on this we built the app, record catches fast with automated data such as weather and the GPS location. Fish trace also works perfectly offline with the restriction that the weather data cannot be determined automatically.

Now you can easily record all the important statistics about your catches. The following data can be registered on a per fish basis:

• Type of fish and number of fishes • Length and weight • Body of water • Water depth and temperature (optional) • Weather conditions (automated, optional) • GPS Position (automated, optional) • Picture (optional) • Technique (optional) • Comments (optional, e.g. bait, equipment)

Users can always search through registered fishes and view details about the catch. With a single click, selected fish can be uploaded to www.fishtrace.info, shared with other fishermen and entered into competitions.

The app is simplified and personalized with the fisherman’s name (nickname), the bodies of water, the most common types of fish and user photos. There are also added functions for managing the app, such as:

• The fish selection list will be expanded based on user entries • The waters selection will be expanded based on user entries • Personal preferences for frequent / fast adding of fishes • Export and import (backup and restore) of statistics • Clear (reset) the statistics • Feedback (of all kinds)

Starting with a crazy idea, now there is finally a fishing statistic app and website, for and from anglers! The app is free of charge and the project is completely non-profit. The truest reward will be when lots of fishermen showcase their best catches from around the world. To motivate our audience, we will do our best to launch sponsored competitions which will then be decided by user reviews.
