Logbook

Record what happened on the water, then use the logbook to compare catches with the conditions attached to each trip.

Record a trip

Choose a date (today or earlier) and add one or more catch lines. Each line has:

Add another line with + Add species when one trip includes more than one species. Leave the catch lines empty to record a skunked trip. A catch line with a species but no count is not saved; the editor asks you to complete the line instead.

The entry form also accepts:

• Notes — up to 2,000 characters for what worked, tide observations, or other details
• Bait / lure — up to 120 characters
• Boat — choose a vessel profile or leave the trip without a boat
• Duration — hours and minutes
• Gas consumed — gallons
• Engine hours
• Passengers — crew count

Draft catches

PREVIEW — unreleased: Mobile draft catches are not available in a released store build. No store build has reached users yet; DDF-41 remains pending.

A mobile trip can create a draft catch with the trip's recorded conditions attached. Drafts appear in their own DRAFT CATCHES section until you finish the details.

1. Select Add details to open the draft editor.
2. Enter or correct the species, count, size, weight, notes, bait/lure, and any enabled trip fields.
3. Select Save details. The existing primary catch is updated rather than duplicated.
4. Select Confirm to move the draft into the confirmed catches list.

If you do not want to keep the draft, select Dismiss. Confirming while the editor has unsaved values saves those values first; a failed save leaves the draft unconfirmed. A draft can also be dismissed without adding catch details.

Entry sections

Use Entry sections to choose which fields are shown on entries and forms. The available sections are:

• Catch details (species, count, size, and weight)
• Weather & conditions (wind, waves, temperatures, and tide attached from the trip)
• Distance travelled (from track replay)
• Trip duration (automatically derived from a track when available, and editable)
• Boat used
• Gas consumed
• Engine hours
• Passengers
• Photos (Pro)

Catch details, weather & conditions, distance, duration, and boat are on by default. Gas, engine hours, passengers, and photos are off by default. Turning a section off hides it without clearing the stored value; hidden fields are not validated or overwritten by a later save.

Filters and summaries

The filter row is built from the species in your entries. Use ALL SPECIES to show confirmed entries, a species name to narrow both confirmed entries and drafts, or DRAFTS to show only drafts. Entries are sorted newest first.

The logbook header summarizes:

• Total fish and number of species
• Total entries and how many drafts still need confirmation
• Largest recorded size and its species
• The launch site with the most recorded fish
• The tide window with the most recorded fish when conditions are attached

The side panels add three views of the same recorded data:

• Catches by risk band groups fish totals into GO, CAUTION, and NO-GO using the condition snapshot recorded with each entry. A catch without enough snapshot data remains unknown rather than receiving a current score.
• Best tide phase groups recorded fish by the tide phase saved on the entry.
• Top species ranks species by recorded count and shows the best recorded size when one exists.

When Insights data is available, it adds species-by-month trends, per-site catch counts, and the conditions in which you catch best (catch rate is shown as catches per day). If there is not enough history yet, the panel asks you to log more trips.

Edit an entry

Select Edit on a confirmed entry to change catch lines, boat, duration, gas, engine hours, passengers, bait/lure, or notes. You can add or remove catch lines, and you can save an entry with no catch lines to keep it marked as a skunked trip. The editor validates species and count together and accepts size, weight, duration, and numeric trip fields only when their values are valid.

Track links

When an entry has a linked track and Distance travelled is enabled, its card includes a TRACK link. Open it to replay that session, inspect its distance and speed metrics, and see the conditions associated with the trip. Track-linked duration is displayed automatically until you explicitly edit it.

Photo galleries (Pro)

Photo galleries are a Pro feature. Enable Photos in Entry sections, then select + Photo on an entry. Each entry supports up to 10 photos; each image must be 10 MB or smaller. Select a thumbnail to open the full-size image, or delete an image from the gallery. If the gallery cannot be loaded or a photo upload fails, the entry keeps its existing data and shows the error so you can retry.
