How Fishing Codex works
Browse
Anglers publish log entries: real catches, with the photo, the species and the conditions they were caught in. The public map shows a wide area, so you can see where anglers are active.
Claim or unlock
Free entries you can claim. Paid entries are unlocked with secure checkout on this website, and the angler is paid directly.
Fish it from the app
The exact location appears on your private map in the Fishing Codex app, on the same account.
Publishing your own logbook? Start here. It's three steps too. The full angler guide has every rule behind them.

What Fishing Codex is
What the app does, what the website does, and how the money works.
What fishing conditions actually make fish bite? Yours do.
Tide, moon, pressure, wind, swell: you set what you can go out in and how much you rate each reading, so every day is read against your own standards.
Bringing your fishing history across to Fishing Codex
Import photos, GPX, KML and CSV files, quick-tag a whole batch, and keep your tracks, so your old catches become a history the app can read.
How to find water worth fishing
Three ways, all from the same app: read your own logbook, read other anglers' published entries and Local Intel, and search the water you already fish.
How to import your fishing history: photos, GPX files and fishfinders
Old photos with GPS become entries with the tide and moon worked out for the day they were taken, even 25 years back. GPX, KML or CSV brings your fishfinder across. And why some photos import with no location.
