Fishing diary & bottom mapping
Remember what worked. Return with a plan.
Rybka keeps your sessions, catches, spots and bottom maps together, so you can return to a water knowing where you fished and what worked—even without a signal.
The App Store and Google Play links will appear here at launch.
Fishing diary
Keep the whole session, not just the catch.
A session keeps the water, sector and dates together. Log each catch while the details are fresh—time, species, weight, fishing spot and notes—and see the session totals build as you fish.
- Plan one day or a date range
- Keep one session active at a time
- Link each catch to a saved fishing spot
- Review fish count, total and average weight, and bigfish
Bottom mapping
Turn your own readings into a map you can return to.
Aim five casting lines at visible landmarks. Add distance, depth and bottom type from your marker casts, save the spots worth fishing, and reuse or copy the map when you return to that sector.
Name a visible tree, reed bed, pier or another reliable reference.
Five fixed directions keep every reading and spot organised.
Save distance, depth, bottom type and an optional note.
Number each spot, keep its distance and optional depth, and link catches to it.

Statistics
Review one session. See patterns across them all.
Open a session to review its fish count, weights, species and spot performance. Then compare your wider history across a chosen period, all waters, one water or one sector.
- Review fish count, total weight, average and bigfish
- See which spots produced catches in a session
- Filter your history by period, water or sector
- Compare top catches, species mix and catch activity
Offline
No signal required.
Rybka reads and saves waters, sectors, sessions, catches and maps in the local database on your device, so the core app remains usable at remote swims.
No mobile coverage needed for the core fishing record

Review what worked
Check the session result, then compare patterns across a period, water or sector.
FAQ
What to know before you take Rybka to the water.
Is Rybka only for carp fishing?
No. Any angler can use Rybka as a fishing diary. Its detailed bottom mapping, reusable spots and weight-based statistics are especially useful for carp fishing.
How does bottom mapping work—do I need sonar or GPS?
No. Rybka does not map automatically and does not use sonar or GPS. You aim five casting lines at visible landmarks and enter distance, depth and bottom type from your own casts.
Can I use Rybka without mobile coverage?
Yes. Rybka reads and saves waters, sectors, sessions, catches and bottom maps in the local database on your device, so the core app works without a signal.
Can I restore or sync my records on another device?
Not through Rybka yet. The current app has no account, cloud sync or guaranteed cross-device restore. Device backups may behave differently, so keep any separate record you need before deleting the app, resetting a device or changing phones.
