What's new on Where's The Fish

Not sure what you've caught? Add a photo and the Catchbook suggests the species, with a confidence you can check against the guide. If your phone recorded them, it also reads the time and the nearest mark out of the photo, so most of the form is filled in before you touch it. You can switch that off in your profile settings.

Free anglers get 5 identifications a month and Premium gets 50. A used-up month never blocks a catch — you just pick the species yourself.

Fished a session without planning it here? Write it up in three steps — where, when, how it went — and it becomes a trip you can publish as a report, with the catches from the session attached and the tides from that day saved alongside it. Write-ups are free and unlimited.

Where can be a mark from the catalogue, a pin you drop on the map for a boat mark or a spot we don't list yet, or just a place name. A dropped pin never leaves the server: readers see the nearest town, the county, or nothing at all — your choice.

Every mark page now has three tabs: the guide, the reports anglers have published there, and the catches they've logged. Counties and regions roll the same thing up across every mark inside them, so you can see what a stretch of coast is actually producing before you drive.

Like a report or a catch, leave a comment, reply to one, and follow it all from the new notifications bell. Every angler with a public profile gets a page of their own, with their personal bests, species count and everything they've shared.

One page for what anglers are landing along the whole UK coast right now, newest first. Filter it by species or by the last week, or narrow it to a region. If you've saved any spots it opens on the catches near them, and widens to the whole coast when nothing has come in nearby.

The home page and every species guide show the latest catches too, so a guide tells you what that fish is being caught on this week, not just in general.

Every species guide now carries a field-guide style illustration, and the guides themselves have been rebuilt: tides, baits, season and the counties where each fish shows up most, all on one page. The same illustrations appear on mark pages and in your Catchbook collection.

Sign in and each guide grows two tabs of your own: the trips you've planned for that species and the catches you've logged of it.

My Spots shows the week ahead for every mark you've saved, today's conditions, and the next window worth fishing, with Plan trip and Log catch a tap away on each spot.

New this release: opt in, per spot, to a warning email when the forecast turns dangerous there — high winds, big swell or heavy rain. It is separate from the good-window alerts, so one never drowns out the other.
