What Whitebait Log does

Whitebait Log is a private catch log built for New Zealand whitebaiters.

Log every catch in seconds - weight, river, stand, tide, river flow and weather are captured together so nothing is lost between sets.

It keeps working with no signal at the river mouth and syncs the moment you get coverage.

Over a season it turns your own catches into honest insights: which tides, flows, water temperatures and weather actually put whitebait in your net.

Made for cold hands and bad weather

  • Two-tap logging

    Big buttons, kg or lb, weather and river condition chips. Log a catch without taking your gloves off.

  • Works with no signal

    Catches queue on your phone at the river mouth and sync themselves the moment you get coverage.

  • Live river flow

    Pulls the nearest River flow reading with its timestamp — or take it manually when the feed is down.

  • Your spots, mapped

    Drop a pin on the map, name the stand, and see catch pins filtered by river and date.

  • Honest insights

    Weight trends against temperature, flow, weather and condition — with sample sizes shown, never overclaimed.
