Plain-English guides to fishing smarter.

What is Fishing Codex — and what does it cost?

The straight answer: a private offline fishing logbook where almost everything is free, plus real log entries published by local anglers. What free includes, what paid adds.

What fishing conditions actually make fish bite? Yours do.

Tide, moon, pressure, wind, swell — you set what you can go out in and rank what makes fish bite, so every rating is measured by YOUR standards, not an AI guess.

Switching to Fishing Codex from your current fishing app

Bring every mark with you (GPX, KML, CSV, or photos), set your own wind and swell limits, and know what time to be on the water for the species you want.

The angler’s playbook: from first free entry to a paying readership

Nobody pays a stranger for a pin on a map. Start with free entries, write them like you’d tell a mate, earn reviews and badges — then price your best entries.

How to make money fishing — the honest version

Charters, content, tackle deals — and the newer route: publishing your logbook so other anglers pay to unlock your entries. Every real way anglers earn, with the fees stated plainly and zero income promises.

How to get paid for your logbook (without going public)

A fishing guide sells local knowledge by the day; a published log entry is the same trade at a fraction of the price. The ~10 km fuzzed map, the ~500 m lockdown, the 90-day early-adopter window, and how to start.

How to find good fishing water — every way that actually works

Charts, tides, birds, the tackle shop, hours on the water — and the newer way: proven locations from real anglers, with the when and how included. Every account gets 3 free claims to test it before spending a cent.

Are paid log entries worth it? An honest breakdown

Written for the skeptic: what you’re actually buying (the when and how, not a dot on a map), what nobody can promise you (fish), and how to test the quality free — 3 lifetime claims — before you spend a cent.

How to import your fishing history — photos, GPX files and fishfinders

Old photos with GPS become entries with the tide and moon worked out for the day they were taken — even 25 years back. GPX, KML or CSV brings your fishfinder across. And why some photos import with no location.
