The feed

The best fishing media is made by people fishing

Not influencers on a chartered boat. Anglers on the water you drive past, posting what they caught, where, and what the tide was doing when it happened. It is the part of the app people open on days they are not fishing.

Why it reads differently

Every post is also a fishing report

A catch in Cobia carries the species, the water, the time and the conditions it was taken in. So a photo in the feed is not just a photo. You can see that it came off an incoming tide at first light in seventy two degree water, three miles from where you were standing.

  • Species, water and conditions attached to the catch itself, not typed into a caption
  • Verified catches marked Authentic, so you know what was shot in the app and what was imported
  • People who fish your water, because the feed knows where you fish
  • Spot privacy respected, so somebody can share the fish without giving up the hole

Video

Two kinds, and the difference matters

Short video is the best thing in the feed, so it gets treated properly rather than bolted on.

A Bite

A catch on video where the species stays hidden behind a mystery card until the fish is landed. The three seconds before you see what is on the line is the best part of fishing, and a thumbnail normally gives it away. Bites do not. They count toward your Fishdex and your ranking.

A Reel

Any fishing clip with no species attached. The run out of the inlet, the bird show, the thing your buddy did to the cast net. For when the story is the point rather than the fish. It does not rank, and it is not supposed to.

Where it gathers

The water itself is the meeting place

277,262 water body pages

Every named water has its own page with the catches taken there, who holds the crown, and what has been coming out lately. Look up a lake before you drive to it and see what it actually produced this month.

599 species pages

Each one carries the catches logged for that fish and the ten anglers who have landed the most of them. If you want to know who the snook people are, that is where they are.

Identity that is earned

Your angler title and the crowns you hold ride next to your name everywhere you appear. Local Legend on a profile means a hundred catches on one water, not a purchase.

The quiet parts

Messages, invites, and being left alone

The social layer is deliberately small. There is no algorithm deciding what you should feel, no follower count to farm, and no way for a stranger to land in your inbox.

  • Direct messages gated on who follows you, not who you follow
  • Slam invites so you can run a challenge with the people you actually fish with
  • Per catch privacy with the protective option as the default
  • Moderated properly, with reporting and blocking that do what you expect

Questions

About the feed

Catches and short video from anglers, with the species, the water and the conditions attached. Because a catch carries where and when it happened, a post is a fishing report rather than a picture. You can tell what the tide was doing.

A Bite is a catch on video, and the species stays hidden behind a mystery card until the fish is landed. A Reel is any fishing clip with no species attached, for when the story is the point. Bites count toward your Fishdex and your ranking. Reels are just good to watch.

No. Plenty of people never post and open the app every day to see what is coming out of their water. The feed is worth reading even if you never add to it.

Only if you let them. Every catch carries its own privacy setting, and the protective option is the default. You can post a fish from a spot you will never name and the app respects that.

Only people you have let in. The gate checks who follows you rather than who you follow, which is the direction that actually protects an inbox.

Brands can have profiles and post like any other account, and local tackle shops sit on the map. The feed is not an advertising surface and lure recommendations are not for sale.
