One of the first things most anglers do when planning a fishing trip is a little light stalking of the top fishing spots near them and turning to their community for additional tips and advice that may help improve their fishing experience.
Unfortunately, it can be difficult to find a community of anglers that is dedicated to fishing in your area, the type of fishing you do, or simply dedicated to answering questions from a beginner angler. Online fishing forums can be a hit-or-miss adventure that turns would-be anglers off the sport or from socializing.
Luckily at Fishbrain, our mission is to solve these types of challenges and provide an informative and entertaining fishing experience to our users. One of our newest features, Groups, aims to solve this common challenge by bringing our existing community of helpful anglers together.
Introducing Fishing Groups
Fishing groups are the alternative to online forums and conveniently live right inside the Fishbrain app, so you can continue conversations on the go, while fishing, or wherever you happen to be.
With the new Groups feature, you can find groups local to your area, or about broader subjects dedicated to the topic of fishing, skill level, or anything else. Don’t see a group matching what you’re looking for? Create one and manage your own fishing group today.
What types of Groups exist?
