## What is Get Hooked!?

Your AI-Powered Fishing Intelligence System

Stop guessing. Start catching. Get Hooked! doesn't just show you fishing data—it learns from YOUR catches and teaches you WHY conditions matter and WHEN to fish.

SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED
Get Hooked! is subscription-only—$29.99/year, auto-renewable, with no free tier. After a brief onboarding (drop your first spot), you subscribe to use the app. Full terms at the bottom.

LEARN FROM YOUR OWN SUCCESS
Your best spots hold patterns you can't see. Get Hooked! finds them:
- Import GPS tracks from Garmin, Lowrance, Humminbird—the app reads 10+ factors against your actual catches
- Patterns AND anti-patterns: what's working for you, and what to quit wasting time on
- Heat maps reveal where you really produce; trends show how moon, pressure, and temperature moved YOUR fish

AI FORECASTS THAT TEACH
Numbers, explained—personalized 12-factor scoring (0-100) tuned to your species and spots:
- Pressure as a front signal, wind that stacks baitfish, tides, moon, and solunar major/minor windows
- A daily verdict that grades the best usable on-water window for your boat

ANGLER DNA
A six-dimension read of how you fish—eight archetypes, radar charts, and forecasts that adapt to your style.

BITE WINDOW & DIVE CHARTS
Hourly bite probability from solunar, weather, and your catch history—plus trolling dive-curve charts that highlight where your own catches landed.

TROLLING & DRIFTING
Track every troll and drift pass with live speed, heading, and distance. The run line auto-logs, ties catches to the pass, and is yours to review afterward.

APPLE WATCH COMPANION
Log catches without your phone—Catch, Voice, Waypoint, Depart, and Return all work offline and sync to your phone later. A catch counter tallies your fish like a clicker.

THERMOCLINE
Log temp at depth by hand or snap a Fish Hawk TD screenshot—the app reads the table. See the trip's water column with your catches and the temp band your fish came from.

SHARE YOUR CATCHES
Photo-forward share cards put your best fish front and center—share your whole season or any single trip, with stats and boat. Captains can hand clients a branded trip postcard.

SEASON REPORT
Your year on the water as a year-in-review Yearbook (PDF)—species, what worked, a catch map, your Angler DNA, and a next-year playbook.

CAPTAIN'S MODE
Built for charter captains:
- Sea-time logbook with historical trip import—paste, photo OCR, or by hand
- Certification and endorsement tracking with expiration reminders
- Yearly PDF formatted like a CG-719S, plus client trip postcards

RIVER EXPLORER
Your entire upstream watershed on the map—every tributary's gradient, thermal character, and where cold-water feeders enter.

GREAT LAKES STRUCTURE
8,000+ offshore Great Lakes features—wrecks (including famous named ships), obstructions, and dump sites.

FLOAT PLAN SAFETY
Auto depart/return by geofence, live GPS tracking, and SMS to your emergency contacts if you're not back on time. Built for solo anglers.

BUDDY SHARE
Share your live position and spots with fishing partners—end-to-end encrypted, so only buddies can read them.

- 100% local storage—your spots never leave your device
- No account required—completely anonymous

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 26.6.28 — 2026-07-01

THE BIGGEST GET HOOKED! UPDATE YET

SEASON REPORT - YOUR YEAR IN REVIEW
• New on the Stats screen: a full year-in-review Yearbook (PDF) — executive summary, a this-year-vs-last scorecard, species and what worked, month-by-month, a map of where you caught them, your Angler DNA, and a season-by-season next-year playbook.
• Share cards are photo-forward now — your catch photo leads, with your stats, boat, and Angler DNA below. Share your whole season or any single trip — your best fish front and center — and tweak the photos and caption before it goes out.
• Captains get the same year-in-review treatment in a branded PDF.

THERMOCLINE - TEMPERATURE AT DEPTH
• New Thermocline tool on every trip. Punch in your temp-at-depth readings, or snap a Fish Hawk TD screenshot and we read the table for you.
• See the water column for the trip — depth vs. time with your catches plotted on it — plus a plain-talk read of where the break sits and the temperature your fish came from.
• Drops roll into Stats and the Captain's yearly PDF, and a Last Thermocline card on Conditions recalls your latest drop.

GREAT LAKES UPWELLING
• Conditions now flags when wind shoves cold water up nearshore on the Great Lakes — the cold push that flips a bite off or on. It's a measured buoy temperature drop, not a guess.

AUTOMATIC iCLOUD BACKUP
• Your data backs itself up to iCloud after trips and on a safety schedule — two copies, on iCloud and your phone. New phone? It finds your backup and restores in two taps, with an in-app restore browser.

APPLE WATCH - REBUILT
• Catch, Voice, Waypoint, Depart, and Return all work offline — every tap grabs GPS and saves locally, then syncs when your phone's back in range.
• A count badge on the Catch button tallies your fish for the day like a clicker, even with no signal.
• Redesigned home with a live trip/drift/troll card, a full activity log, and watch-face complications.

GREAT LAKES STRUCTURE
• 8,000+ offshore features across all five lakes — wrecks (including famous named ships), obstructions, and dump sites. Filter each independently to find fish-holding cover.

SMARTER CONDITIONS & DISCOVERY
• The daily verdict now grades the best usable on-water window instead of the whole day, and factors in your boat's size.
• Fewer false storm warnings — the forecast no longer calls thunderstorms on dry, unsettled days.
• The pressure card now reads pressure as a front signal — falling vs. rising, and what that means for where fish sit.
• Tips surface features you haven't found yet, and a new Help & Tips hub gathers every guide plus a Fishing Wisdom library.

FASTER & STEADIER
• My Profile and Angler DNA load in a blink. Rain radar holds at every zoom and opens framed on the weather. Dive-chart matching reads both Gear and Bait. Batch log gains 'Fill from last entry.'

Plus reliability and crash fixes throughout. Tight lines!

### 26.4.29 — 2026-05-20

**BUDDY SHARE — END-TO-END ENCRYPTED**
• Your location, boat photo, and shared files are now sealed with Curve25519 + ChaCha20-Poly1305. Even we can't read them on the server.
• Auto-generated PINs (XXXX-XXXX) — no more picking a handle.
• Map updates buddy pins in place when their state changes.
• Trip start and end fire immediate pushes; idle-at-dock burns no bandwidth.

**MAP — NAMED SPOTS & FRESH BUOYS**
• 84 Lake Erie Western Basin spots seeded as cyan star pins under Fishing POIs — Sputnik, McDonalds, Toledo Light, Camp Perry range cans, every named reef and shoal.
• NDBC buoy + NOAA tide-station data refreshed (three-month-stale layers brought current). Six Old Woman Creek stations are on the map, including the newest one.

**ROUTES vs TRACKS**
• Chartplotter routes (RTE) now import alongside waypoints — were being silently dropped before.
• Routes render dashed (point-to-point plans), recorded tracks render solid (GPS logs).
• Track simplification eased so gentle curves don't flatten on long sessions.

**DRIFT / TROLL**
• Start flag appears the moment you tap Start (was End-only before).
• No more phantom Spots dropped at session-start coords.

**DIVE CHARTS**
• Crankbait charts now capture line type (Mono / Braid / Fluoro / Lead Core), line test, and trolling speed — renders as '10#M · 2.0 mph' on cards and list rows.
• New PWCL+2 reference chart under Divers (Bill Lewis PWC Lite + 2oz snap weight). Pick line class, read depth at 1.5 / 2.0 / 2.5 mph.

**APPLE WATCH**
• Faster GPS first-fix on non-Ultra watches.
• Complication tap-to-launch fixed when watchOS offloads the app.
• Sync fixes for trip context and end-of-session handshake.
• New menu → Support → Diagnostics → Send Watch Logs button — one tap sends diagnostics to support if you ever hit a watch issue.

**POLISH**
• Captain Stats PDF share no longer goes black.
• NOAA marine alerts wait properly instead of hanging.
• Forecast badge fires only for forecasts you've added — no more spurious dots.
• Catch counts in forecasts and stats now correctly exclude GPX track points.
• CrossScope draws sun + moon together with the real phase glyph.

### 26.4.26 — 2026-04-29

**PLAN MY TRIP**
Tap Plan on the forecast overview map. GetHooked reads every pin and hands back a 3-leg plan drawn on the map with a narrative — tightest consensus cluster, virgin-water corridor (fires with zero catch history), reliable sustained-bite fallback. Plus a window read of which days are open.

**TRIP PHOTOS**
Up to 10 photos per Trip Report that belong to the trip itself, not a specific catch. Boat shots, sunset, group pics, hero photo a customer texted you. Set hero, location stripped on import, bundled with .ghb backups.

**TRIP POSTCARDS FOR CHARTER CAPTAINS**
If you run charters, generate a branded shareable web page summarizing one trip — hero photo, stats, conditions, narrative. Single Generate / Update button on the Trip Report. New Postcards reference list on the Captain dashboard with year/month grouping and search. Updates overwrite at the same URL — your customer's link doesn't change.

**CAPTAIN DASHBOARD AVAILABLE TO EVERY SUBSCRIBER**
USCG license dashboard, sea-time stats, certifications, and trip log all available to every angler — no separate purchase, no activation. Track your hours and credentials whether you charter or not.

**WATCH RELIABILITY REBUILD**
Stuck on Loading, bouncing to home, unresponsive buttons — fixed. Removed the offline-command queue that was crash-looping. Instant gray Sending toast on every tap, green when phone acknowledges, red if out of range. Watch buzzes when a session auto-ends.

**FIXED: APP HANGS AFTER RETURNING FROM BACKGROUND**
If you ever had to force-quit because the app froze coming back from background — fixed. Background timers no longer pile up.

**FORECAST BADGE MEANS SOMETHING AGAIN**
Map forecast badges fire only on spots in your active forecast list — spots where you dragged the radius slider, or Suggested forecasts you promoted. Auto-generated suggestions no longer claim map real estate until accepted.

**NO MORE INFLATED CATCH NUMBERS**
Forecast scoring, X catches within 2 mi, Conditions wisdom, virgin-water checks, and catch-aware alerts now correctly exclude waypoints that belong to drift/troll GPX tracks. Legacy track files auto-fixed on this build.

**DIVE CHART REFERENCE DATA FIXED**
Field-validated every seed crankbait against the physical precision trolling chart — 13 of 15 had wrong depth/line-out values. All corrected. Added missing Rapala DHJ 12. If you were running depths off the in-app chart, this is the build you want.

**SMART AUTO-END BY WATER TYPE**
Speed sustains above ceiling for 30s and the session ends silently — Inland/River 5 mph, Great Lakes 6, Coastal 10. Starting a new session auto-ends any prior troll/drift; catches attributed to the tightest-fitting session.

**TROLL + DRIFT DETAIL**
Tap any session row to see the track, stats, and catches during that window. Green flag marks Start, checkered flag marks End on completed tracks.

**BACKDATE A TRIP YOU FORGOT**
Tap + on the Trip Log to manually add a past trip. Pre-fills boat / passengers / water type. Existing waypoints in that window auto-attach.

**TRIP CARDS**
Clean two-row layout (identity + stats). Boat / water type / passengers visible on expand and editable after the fact. Same-day duplicate trips no longer collide.

**POLISH**
CrossScope draws sun + moon together at real bearings with actual moon phase. Hourly weather grid auto-scrolls to current hour. Speed units unified mph/kts everywhere. Trip Report and forecasts auto-refresh when waypoints change. Voice catch failure stays on-screen until dismissed.
