But Wait, There's More

Your Water. Your Data.

CatchDaddy keeps your hotspots locked down and turns your catch history into a competitive edge.

Your Spots Stay Secret

We get it — your honey holes are sacred. That's why CatchDaddy keeps your location data private by default.

  • Catch locations are never shared without your permission
  • Heatmap contributions are anonymous and opt-in only
  • No selling your data to third parties — ever
  • You control exactly what the community sees

Fish Smarter With Your Data

Every catch you log makes you a better angler. CatchDaddy's AI analyzes your history to reveal patterns you'd never spot on your own.

  • See which conditions produce your biggest catches
  • Track seasonal trends by species, location, and technique
  • Get AI recommendations based on what's actually working for you
  • Turn years of fishing into actionable insights

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

Is CatchDaddy really free?

Yes! The free plan lets you log up to 10 catches per month, try 3 AI fish identifications, 2 Local Guide searches, 2 lure recommendations, and 1 active trip. Access the community feed, leaderboard, and map view. No credit card required.

What devices does it work on?

CatchDaddy is a progressive web app that works on any device with a modern browser — phones, tablets, and desktops. Native Android and iOS apps are coming soon.

How does AI fish identification work?

Just snap a photo of your catch and our AI analyzes it to identify the species. It works with both freshwater and saltwater fish and gets smarter over time.

Can I use CatchDaddy offline?

The app caches data for offline browsing. You can view your logged catches without an internet connection. New catches sync automatically when you're back online.

Is my data private and secure?

Absolutely. Your catch data and photos are stored securely with Firebase. You control what you share publicly and what stays private. See our Privacy Policy for details.

What are fishing challenges?

Challenges are community competitions where you compete with other anglers — biggest catch, most species, seasonal derbies, and more. Create your own or join public and invite-only challenges.

What states have stocking data?

We currently provide real-time stocking reports for 19 states — AZ, CA, CO, IA, ID, MD, MI, MT, NC, NM, NY, OR, SC, TN, UT, VA, WA, WI, and WV — updated daily from official state wildlife agencies. More states are being added regularly.

What AI features are available?

CatchDaddy includes four AI-powered tools: Fish ID (identify species from a photo), Lure ID (identify any lure or fly), Local Guide (location-specific fishing advice), and personalized recommendations for techniques, lures, and spots.
