AI fish ID, catch limits from GPS, a log, and a feed with mates. Same kind of tools, less spend.
Free to start, no credit card
Create an account and log catches from photos you already have. GPS in the photo sets the spot.
Pro is billed once a year
AUD$18 a year. Full feature set from day one. You can keep Fishbrain as well, or use On The Fish on its own.
Same photo. Species, limits, and whether it's dinner.
Fishbrain does identification and local intel extremely well. On The Fish names the fish from the photo you already took, matches catch limits to that GPS, and opens the eating guide, at a lower price. Then you decide what to share.
