Catchability releases definitive free iPhone app for Aussie fishos

Catchability has released a definitive free iPhone app for Aussie fishos.

Catchability for iPhone has been designed in Australia specifically for fishing in Australia and includes hand drawn pictures of fish species, maps of where they can be caught, bag limits for each state and live weather and tide information.

The app allows users to:

Follow a fish

Follow the species you like to catch - who's catching them and where?

Follow a spot

Find out where to go fishing near you and which fish have been caught there. Enter spots of your own.

Follow a person

What are your friends catching and where?

Leaderboards

Who's caught the biggest, longest or the most fish?

Weather and tides

Check the weather and tides before you go and for the next 6 days. Save your favourite places for future checks.

Bag limits and pictures

Identify fish and check the current bag and size limits.

Bragging rights

Share your catches on social media (if you wish).

In addition, Catchability have teamed up with well known independent marine biologist Dr Julian Pepperell who will be involved in ongoing analysis of data created from the app about many aspects of fish populations, including: 

•Seasonal appearance of fish at different locations

•How the fishery reacts to news of ‘runs’ of fish in different situations

•‘Peaks’ and ‘troughs’ in catches of certain species through time

•Sizes of fish of different species being caught by users of the application (it is anticipated that this will be especially useful to monitor catches of the larger ‘trophy’ sized fish – an indicator of health of a fishery). 

•Correlating time of day of catches with tidal movements and day of the month with moon phases. 

Catchability for iPhone available on the App Store:
