The Core Adventure
🎣
Trip Mode New
Tap Start before you head out. Name the trip ("Surf City NC holiday"), tag every catch with who reeled it in, watch live stats roll in all weekend long, then end with a beautiful Trip Summary — biggest fish, MVP angler, species count, every photo. Multi-day trips work. The shareable card families actually text to grandma.
📓
Catch journal
Log weight, length, location, weather, moon phase, who caught it, and a 💧 Released toggle. Your full fishing history, searchable and filterable. Every trip becomes a memory you can scroll back through years from now.
📖
88-species Fish Journal
A living collection of every species across Tennessee, North Carolina, and Florida — freshwater and saltwater. Each fish has baits, tips, fun facts, and state keeper rules. The ones your kid has caught light up in color.

Catch & Cook recipes
14 kid-friendly fish recipes built for the catch-then-cook loop: panfish fry, lemon trout foil bombs, blackened redfish, fish tacos, and more. Sustainability nudges built in (only keep what you'll eat). Plus a Learn hub with knot diagrams, casting drills, safety tips, surf and pier guides, and a quick Fish Facts quiz.
🧪
Experimental AI features Very early
Two opt-in AI experiments hide behind a free Claude API key — photo fish ID (snap a fish, get a guess) and Captain Splash (a chat buddy for fishing questions). Both are very much in development and not the heart of the app. We recommend picking species manually for now and treating Captain Splash as a curiosity, not a coach. We'll promote them out of "experimental" when they're truly reliable.
