Fishometric — Count the Blanks
An Australian saltwater and estuary fishing logbook that measures personal effort and catch rates, including trips that catch nothing.
- For
- Australian recreational saltwater and estuary fishers
- Worth noticing
- The proposed logger counts blank trips as first-class data and keeps exact GPS locations off any public map.
Field notes
Fishometric frames fishing records as a measurement problem: start a timer before casting, log the platform, method, habitat, region, and hours, then record the outcome in a debrief. Its methodology gives blank trips equal status with successful ones and keeps exact location pins private. The first phase is described as an installable phone PWA for Australian saltwater fishing, with freshwater and later geographic expansion presented as future steps.
