FishTales
Designed for iOS devices, FishTales allows you to record your fishing history with as much information as you need to create a comprehensive data base for future reference. You can log what lure/bait you used, the date, time, water temperature, the GPS location of each catch, even the phase of the moon. After logging your information, “Quick Pick” allows you to select any body of water that you’ve fished on, while the Map button will display all your catches on highlighted pins. When you tap the pin, it will show the type of fish you caught and the lure you used to catch it (if entered). The app also has the “Virtual Tackle Box” that lets you record all of your favourite lures. Just take a picture of the lure, describe it, and the app will keep track of every fish you caught with each lure.

IGFA Mobile App
While geared for competitive offshore sport fishermen, the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) Mobile App is loaded with many features every sports fisherman will enjoy. It allows you to quickly access angling world records, identify your species, plan your trips, and log your catches. Available in two versions, the Mobile and Mobile Lite, the app automatically updates real-time records. If you think you landed a record-setter, simply take a photo, enter the details and save it under “My Catches.” You can also share the details via email or Facebook. Additionally, you`ll like the “Species ID,” which is a database of species complete with ID descriptions, habitat information, geographic distribution, and anatomy. You can also log upcoming fishing trips, find IGFA tournaments, and locate IGFA weigh stations.
