PondBase
Every Catch Tells a Story.
PondBase turns individual fishing records into useful trends you can follow through every season—so a single catch becomes part of a much bigger picture.
- Catch location & details
- Relative weight
- Tagged fish history
- Season-over-season trends
Capture the Details That Explain the Catch
A fish count tells you what happened. PondBase preserves the details that help explain why—including the pond, zone, mapped catch location, date, angler, lure, photograph, and field notes. Those details become more valuable as your fishing history grows.
From One Fish to a Long-Term Pattern
Record length and weight, calculate relative weight, and compare fish condition by month or year. Keep released, tagged, and culled fish distinct, follow tagged fish through repeat catches, and use your own records to see what changed—and what stayed consistent.
Remember the Exact Place
Save the pond, zone, and mapped catch location with every record so productive water is never left to memory.
Measure Fish Condition
Track length, weight, and relative weight using adjustable thresholds that match your goals and region.
Follow Every Outcome
Separate released, tagged, and culled fish and preserve tagged-fish growth and recapture history.
Find Patterns Over Time
Compare seasons, sizes, species, anglers, lures, and fish condition across months and years.
Common Questions
How does PondBase calculate relative weight?
PondBase uses length and weight measurements against species-specific standard weight formulas to calculate relative weight (Wr), a widely used indicator of fish condition. You can adjust thresholds to match the standards used in your region or management program.
Can I track catch-and-release fish separately from harvested fish?
Yes. Every catch record is tagged as released, culled, or tagged, so your reports and trend charts can break down outcomes by category instead of lumping every catch together.
Do I need a mapped pond to use catch analytics?
No. You can log catches with just a pond and zone if you prefer, but pairing catch records with PondBase's pond mapping tool lets you pinpoint exact catch locations for more detailed spatial trends over time.
