Community and DMs
The Cobia feed is built around catches with real places and real conditions attached, from people who fish the water you fish. A post here is a fishing report, not just a photo.
Catches worth looking at, from water you recognize
Fresh catches across the app or filtered to your state, each card carrying the species, the angler, how long ago, and the water body it came from. Verified badges and affiliate marks sit next to the username where they belong.
- Filter by proximity so the feed is your water, not a national highlight reel
- Species and time filters for when you are researching rather than browsing
- Authentic badges visible on the card so you know what you are looking at
- No ads in the feed, and lure recommendations are not for sale
The rest of the social layer
Bites
Short video of the cast and the catch with a mystery reveal. They count toward species like a photo catch and they are the most fun thing in the app.
Direct messages
Real one to one messaging with anglers you follow, with a gate that respects who actually follows you so the inbox does not become a dumping ground.
Slam invites
Invite people into a Slam with a shareable link so a challenge becomes a group thing instead of a solo grind.
Identity that means something
Verified badges, affiliate marks, angler titles, and league tiers sit next to the username so you can read someone credibility at a glance.
Water body pages
Every named lake, creek, canal, river, and inlet has a page with proven species, recent activity, and the catches that came out of it.
Moderated properly
Reporting, review, and a minor mode with real protections. This is a public app with kids on it and we treat that seriously.
About community and dms
No. Messaging is gated on the follow relationship, and the gate checks who follows you rather than who you follow, which is the direction that actually protects an inbox.
No. Brands can have profiles and post like anyone else, and tackle shops appear on the map, but the feed is not an ad surface.
There is an age assurance system with a minor mode that changes what is visible and what interactions are permitted. It is live in the app rather than planned.
