Real fish.
Your water.
The Cobia feed is catches from people who fish where you fish, each one with the species, the water and a Verified mark when it was shot live. Message the ones you fish with. No ads in the feed.
Updated
The community in Cobia, the free fishing app, is a feed of catches from real anglers: For You, the people you follow, and everyone fishing within 120 miles of you. Every catch carries the species and the water it came from, and the ones shot live in the Cobia Camera wear a Verified mark. You can like, comment and share, post short video Bites, message other anglers and get Slam invites in your Inbox, and there are no ads in the feed.

A post is a fishing report
Every catch in the feed opens to a data card: the species, when it came out, how long and how heavy, and the water, wind and moon at the time. Swipe it for more.
- Measured or estimated, and it says which.
- Verified or Imported, right next to the date. What Verified means
- The water is a link to that water's page, with everything else caught there.

Film the fight. Reveal the fish.
A Bite is a short video of the cast and the catch. The species stays a mystery until it's landed, so the feed watches it the way you fished it.
The four things you can post. Catches and Bites name a species. Vibes and Reels are everything else on the water.

Comments that stay about fishing
Double-tap a photo to like it. Comment, reply once, and share it out. Anything that crosses a line is one tap from a report, and a block hides them both ways.
That's a stud. Bridge or the jetty?
ReplyHa. Somewhere with pilings. Outgoing tide, first light.
Measured too. Respect.

DMs, crew chats and Slam invites
Message the anglers you fish with, one to one or in a group. Slam invites get their own tab in the Inbox, and joining a Slam puts you in its crew chat.
- Anglers who follow you can message you straight away. Anyone else lands in Requests, and waits there until you accept or delete it.
- Your call who can reach you. Followers only, Everyone, or Off. Off still lets Slam invites through. A block, either way, means no messages at all.
- Send in Cobia. Share any catch, Bite, Vibe or Reel straight into a chat.

Every water has a page and a crowd
Near Me is the live feed of catches within 120 miles. Tap the water on any catch and you land on that water's page: recent catches, the species proven there, who holds its crown, and a Follow button.
- Follow a water the way you follow an angler.
- Your spot stays yours. Each catch shares an exact pin, an area or just the water, your call. Spot privacy
Who holds this water's crown, and how many catches it takes. How crowns work

Report it, block them, keep your spot
A public app with real people on it needs real tools. These are the ones in Cobia today.
Part of the reason list. A reported post is hidden from you right away.
They won't be able to see your profile, catches, or comments. You won't see theirs. They won't be notified.
Blocked anglers drop out of your feed at once.
Anglers see the name of the water and nothing more.

Questions about the Cobia feed
What's in the Cobia feed?
Catches, Bites, Vibes and Reels from real anglers, in three tabs. For You, Following for the people you follow, and Near Me for catches within 120 miles of you.
Are there ads in the feed?
No. The feed is posts from anglers, plus a card every few posts when an angler earns a Strike Points achievement, which you can give a High Five.
What is a Bite?
A short video of the cast and the catch. The species stays a mystery until the fish is landed, then the Bite reveals it and counts like any other catch.
How do I know a catch is real?
Catches shot live in the Cobia Camera carry a Verified mark next to the date. Photos added from the camera roll are marked Imported. How Verified works.
Can anyone message me?
No. By default only anglers who follow you can message you directly. Anyone else lands in your Requests, and you accept or delete it. You can open messages to everyone or turn them off, and Slam invites still reach you when they are off.
Will the feed give away my spot?
Only if you want it to. Every catch has its own setting: Exact shares the pin, Area moves the point off your spot, and Water body names the water and nothing more.
