Every catch you log builds toward searchable stats, species, size, bait and conditions without needing a separate notebook, or spreadsheet. You get a personal fishing map built from your own catches, a way to relive past trips and an overview of the species and number of fish you've caught. Add photos, keep entries private, or public, per catch, and let Fishbrain auto-fill the weather and location for you.
Fishing logbook - Gain fishing insights
A fishing logbook helps keep track of what kind of fish you caught, when you caught it, and where you caught it. You can also log the gear you used to catch it. All of this data helps you spot patterns in your fishing so you can become a better angler.
Your personal fishing logbook
Logging your catches is key to improving your skills. With the Fishbrain App, you can track a ton of information. Check out the data you can remember with every catch below:
- Species
- Date & time
- Size
- Location & water
- Gear used
- Weather & solunar data
How do you track your fishing history?
Once you upload your catch to Fishbrain, you will be prompted to add a photo of your catch to commemorate it, as well as share it with the community (if you choose to).

How can a logbook improve your fishing?
It's common for an angler to think they will remember the details of each fish they caught, but in practice, it's difficult to store all of this information for long periods of time. Keeping a fishing logbook helps you test which bait is more effective when catching particular species, spot patterns, fishing tactics, and more.

Logbook FAQ
What makes Fishbrain a good digital fishing logbook?
Does my Logbook sync across devices?
Yes. Your Logbook is tied to your Fishbrain account, not a single device, so it's the same whether you check it on your iPhone, Android device, or tablet.
Can I see personal stats and patterns from my catches?
Yes! Your Logbook breaks catches down by month, weather, water temperature and more. So patterns like your most productive month, or conditions become visible over time.
Can I track exact GPS coordinates for my catches?
Fishbrain shows exact catch positions as pins on the map for your catches. For others it will be visible dependant on the privacy level you choose.
Does Fishbrain identify the species in my catch photos?
Yes! Fishbrain's Fish ID tool can identify 300+ species from a catch photo when you log it.
Can I log the lure, line, and depth for each catch?
Yes! You can tag the bait/lure, line, depth and other gear with each catch. Those details are saved with the entry and roll into your gear and Top Baits stats over time.
Can Fishbrain track my personal bests or every species I've caught?
Yes to both, in different ways. Your Logbook has a personal best marker. Log a catch bigger than your previous best for that species and Fishbrain lets you know. You also get an overview of every species you've caught and how many of each, so your full catch history is easy to see at a glance.
