Map

Built for anglers who take data seriously.

Every feature is designed around one question: what will make you a better angler? Not a more social one.

Precision Catch Logging
Log species, weight, length, lure, and environmental data. GPS coordinates are pulled automatically from your catch photos.
Pattern Intelligence
Surface correlations across timing, temperature, gear, and location. Know what's working — and why.
Solunar Correlation
Overlay solunar data against your catch history. Find your peak windows with statistical precision.
Trip Management
Full trip timelines with maps, catch lists, and environmental snapshots. Every session archived.
Weather Intelligence
Weather conditions are auto-populated at the time of each catch. Spot the patterns that put fish in the boat.
Privacy First
No social feed. No public data. No sharing. Your catch data stays on your device and syncs privately via iCloud.
Built for the Kayak Circuit
Designed around how tournament kayak anglers actually fish — quick catch entry, GPS pulled from photos, and weather auto-populated for every fish. Useful on any freshwater water.

Your water. Your patterns. Your edge.

"Every angler's data tells a different story.
Yours is the only one that matters."

Most fishing apps pool everyone's catches together and call it insight. CatchIQ doesn't work that way. Your analytics are built entirely from your own fishing history — your spots, your techniques, your conditions. No one else's patterns are mixed in, because what produces results on their water won't necessarily produce results on yours. That goes double on the tournament kayak circuit, where the angler who knows their own pattern wins.

Your data is yours alone. Not aggregated. Not anonymized into a crowd. Not used to train someone else's recommendations. Just your catches, surfaced back to you as the patterns and insights that make you a better angler.

Your data onlyNo crowd-sourcingPatterns unique to youNever sold or shared
