UK Fishing Catch Tracker — Your Complete Fishing Diary
Log every catch in under 30 seconds. Photos, GPS, weather, and species data captured automatically — your personal fishing database, free forever.
The Fishing Catch Tracker That Logs Everything Automatically
Most fishing catch trackers ask you to manually enter weather, moon phase, and conditions. Fish On! does it for you. The moment you log a catch, the app automatically captures barometric pressure, air temperature, wind speed and direction, cloud cover, moon phase, and your GPS coordinates — all from your live location. You only need to enter the fishing-specific details: species, weight, method, bait, and a photo if you want one. A complete catch log entry takes under 30 seconds. Over a season, your catch tracker builds into a personal database of insights — revealing your best venues, most productive methods, and the exact conditions that consistently produce.
Fishing Log App: Every Species, Every Session
Fish On!'s fishing log app handles every UK species and every type of angling. Coarse, sea, game, and predator fishing are all covered. Log carp with weight in pounds and ounces, record bass marks with GPS coordinates, track trout catches by river section, or log a pike session with method and bait details. The fishing log supports photos, personal best flags, release status, and companion details so every session is fully documented. Search and filter your fishing log by species, venue, method, date, or conditions to find patterns across hundreds of sessions. It's the fishing log that gets smarter the more you use it.
Fishing Diary: Build a Season of Data That Catches More Fish
A fishing diary is only useful if you actually use it — and Fish On! makes it effortless. The minimal-friction logging interface means you're more likely to record every session, building a genuine fishing diary that accumulates real insight. After a full season, your diary reveals which sessions produced the most fish (and why), how your catch rate varies by venue and conditions, your species personal bests, and the methods and baits that consistently outperform others. Export your fishing diary data, share sessions with friends, or compare with the community to see how your fishing stacks up. Your fishing diary is your most valuable angling tool.
Personal Bests, Analytics, and Catch Statistics
Fish On!'s catch tracker automatically tracks personal bests for every species — flag a PB at the moment of logging and it's recorded permanently with the exact date, venue, weight, conditions, and photo. The analytics dashboard shows your total catch count by species, average weights over time, most productive venues, best performing baits and methods, and how your catch rate correlates with environmental conditions. Whether you're targeting a specific species record or just curious about your fishing trends, the statistics reveal insights that improve every future session.
Correlating Environmental Variables with Feeding Windows
Capturing data is only half the battle; understanding how specific UK conditions influence fish behaviour is where the real value lies. When you log a catch, our system records atmospheric pressure, wind direction, and moon phase alongside your session notes. For instance, coarse anglers often find that a falling barometer can trigger a short, frantic feeding spell before a low-pressure system arrives, while stable, high-pressure conditions in summer might demand a more methodical approach to locate lethargic carp in the upper water layers. By building a personal history of your sessions, you can identify patterns unique to your local waters. Perhaps you notice that on your local canal, bream consistently feed better during a specific tidal flow, or that pike activity on your favourite gravel pit peaks during the new moon phase. Recording these nuanced details allows you to review your past data before heading out, enabling you to select target venues based on current weather patterns rather than relying on guesswork. Over several seasons, this dataset becomes a powerful tool for predicting when your target species are most likely to be active, significantly increasing your efficiency on the bank.
Maintaining High Standards in Fish Handling and Welfare
Professionalising your angling extends beyond just catching fish; it is about how you document and return them to the water. A critical part of any fishing diary is recording the condition of your catch, which provides essential feedback on your own handling techniques. When logging a fish, consider using the notes field to specify the type of landing net mesh used, the presence of a proper unhooking mat, and the specific care taken during the unhooking process. This is particularly relevant when targeting sensitive species during the warmer months when dissolved oxygen levels in UK waters may be lower. By consistently documenting your approach to fish care—such as using antiseptic treatments for hook holds or ensuring the fish is kept wet and supported at all times—you develop a reflexive habit of prioritising welfare. Reviewing your log helps you recognise if certain rigs or bait choices are causing deeper hooking, allowing you to adapt your terminal tackle setup accordingly. Maintaining these high standards, and recording them as part of your session data, ensures that your long-term impact on the water remains positive while helping you refine your gear to be as fish-friendly as possible.
