For buyers

Unlock real log entries — the exact location, straight to your app.

Browse where fish are being caught, claim free entries or unlock full ones — the exact location shows up privately on your map in the Fishing Codex app after you unlock or claim. The public map never shows a real location.

How browsing works

The public heatmap shows a soft ~10 km glow over where published entries are — never an exact pin, never a dot you can tap through. Browse worldwide or search your area, then open an entry to see the photo, the angler's notes, and the conditions at catch. All of this is free, with no account needed.

Free claims — 3 for life

Every account gets 3 free claim slots for life — they never reset. Claim any free entry from an angler's public logbook and the exact pin appears in your private Fishing Codex app for 5 days. With an active App Pro subscription, free claims are unlimited and every claimed entry stays on your map while the subscription is active. Redeeming a friend's invite code adds 3 bonus claim slots for both of you.

What you get after unlocking

After you unlock an entry, the exact location appears on your private in-app map, together with the angler's photos, conditions and fishing tips. Access syncs into the app the next time it opens. A permanent snapshot is stored at the moment of purchase — your one-off or lifetime access survives even if the angler later withdraws the entry or deletes their account.

A single entry, the live logbook, or the whole thing

Choose how you unlock: a single entry is yours forever. A monthly or yearly logbook subscription is the angler's logbook, live — their full bundle plus all of their free entries on your private map while it stays active, every new entry they log included. The whole logbook, forever: a single payment for permanent access to all of an angler's entries, including every entry they log in the future.

Start with 3 free claims

Browse published log entries, claim a free one — no account needed to browse, an account is needed to claim or unlock.
