Angler's Anchor
Read full descriptionHide full description
This app is designed as an all-in-one, simple-to-use place for anglers to keep track of their latest big catches and store what they used to net ‘em. When a fisherman, whether causal or professional sportsman, is out on the lake, they don’t want to be fumbling through a complicated app just to log their slippery catch. That’s where the Angler’s Anchor can be a fisherman’s best friend. With a single button press the user is sent to the Add Catch screen, where they can take a picture and enter the scaly critter’s stats. Information like the species, lure used, time of day, how deep or murky the water was, is all vital to a successful return trip and another excited ‘fish-on’ call. This Add Catch screen has it all in one place. That gives the modern fisherman less time wasted on the screen and more time spent on the hook. Of course, that’s just logging the catch. The Angler’s Anchor provides even more features and ways for fisherman to up their game, including a Top Catches scoreboard, badges to earn, individual species stats and more.

LimitLock is the fastest way to manage your tournament bag on the water. Set your fish limit, log each catch with a weight and color tag, and LimitLock keeps your bag sorted heaviest-to-lightest. When your bag is full and you boat a bigger fish, it instantly tells you which one to cull and updates your totals. HOW IT WORKS - Set your limit (1-10 fish) - Log each catch by tapping + or using voice ("3.52 yellow") - LimitLock auto-identifies your lightest fish and marks it for culling - When you catch a bigger one, log it and LimitLock swaps it in automatically - Running day stats show how many fish you've caught and total weight boated VOICE LOGGING Say the weight and color tag out loud - "2.9 green" - and LimitLock does the rest. No fumbling with your phone on a rocking boat. APPLE WATCH COMPANION Log catches, view your sorted bag, and check totals right from your wrist. Stays in sync with your phone automatically via Watch Connectivity. DAY STATS Ever finish a tournament and wonder how many fish you actually caught? LimitLock tracks every fish you boat throughout the day - not just what's in your bag - so you'll always know. Built by a tournament fisherman, for tournament fishermen.
