Salt diary is a simple, easy to use app that allows you to log and track your pelagic fishing. (Premium subscription required). Log each fish within seconds of it happening whether it be Raised, Hooked or Caught. With each entry into your personal Salt Diary crucial information like water temperature, currents, tide and moon phases, altimetry and much more are automatically logged privately and securely. The Salt Diary app is not just a logbook but also a tool in your arsenal that takes the guess work out, teaches you what to look for to become more consistent and ultimately catch more fish. By the way, there are many more features to come each as cool and informative as the last. Never rely on memory alone. With our streamlined logging system, you can instantly record fish activity based on three critical stages: Raised: “You can learn a lot from the fish you didn’t catch” Learn from fish that enter your spread, hit your baits or inspect your lures, never to be seen again. Hooked: Track your strikes and hook-up ratios to optimise your tackle, speed, and techniques. Caught: Keep a detailed record of every fish you land, including size, weight, location and photos. Combined with environmental data, Salt Diary helps you build a lifetime archive while uncovering the patterns behind your most successful catches. Precise Location & Environmental Data(Premium Feature) Salt Diary does the heavy lifting for you. Every time you log a fish the app captures precise GPS coordinates alongside vital environmental data. Track Sea Surface Temperature (SST), Currents, Moon Phases, Tides Phases, Altimetry, Barometric Pressure and Chlorophyll Concentration to identify patterns that lead to your high-yield fishing spots.
