The fishing journal thatactually makes you better

Built by anglers who got tired of guessing. Bushwhack reads your log, the conditions you fished in, and the patterns that hide in between.

Why we built it

Every angler asks the same question on the drive home: why was today good? Was it the fly, the time of day, the moon, the cold front that rolled through Tuesday? A notebook can't answer that. A spreadsheet collapses under it. Most apps were either too thin to be useful or too cluttered to open after a long day on the water.

So we built the tool we kept wishing existed — fast to log into between drifts, smart enough to pull weather and moon data on its own, and patient enough to read a season's worth of catches and tell us what the data was actually saying.

We shared it with friends. They shared it with theirs. A few thousand catches later, Bushwhack is what you see today.

What makes Bushwhack different

Most apps store your catches. Bushwhack reads them.

Insights find your patterns

Your Fishing IQ, MVP gear and the moon, pressure, and style patterns hiding in your log — the honest read on what works for you.

Skunk Lab studies the blanks

Most apps celebrate catches. Skunk Lab digs into the days you got skunked so you stop walking into the same conditions.

Forecast scores the next trip

Solunar timing, weather shifts and pressure patterns — checked against the conditions that have actually worked for you.

Atlas maps your water

Every spot you've ever fished, with its own dossier. What produces, when, and how it stacks up against the rest of your year.

Conditions log themselves

Weather, water temp, barometric pressure, moon phase and season auto-fill on every entry. You log the catch. Bushwhack handles the rest.

Made to come back to

200+ badges, friends, leaderboards and a year-end Recap that turns a season into a story worth re-reading.

How we think about this

The core log is free, forever. Logging catches, saving spots, tracking gear, earning badges, following friends — all yours, no card, no trial, no clock.

Premium pays for the analytical layer: Forecast, Atlas, Insights, Skunk Lab and Microscope deep tools, lifetime filtering, leaderboards, unlimited photos. The kind of tools that need months of data underneath them to be worth anything.

We're not VC-backed. We don't sell your data. We don't license your spots to anyone. Bushwhack is funded by the anglers who decide it's worth paying for — and by absolutely no one else.
