Planning trips around recent fishing activity

He is still exploring layers like plankton and sea temperature. Where the platform is already proving its worth is in planning — especially avoiding areas that have recently been fished by other boats.

Where I am using it through, and it's already proving its worth, is in planning trips, and in particular avoiding areas that have been fished recently by other boats.

Quick feedback, Scottish fleet interest

Andrew also highlights how closely Catchwise works with skippers — including rewriting filters on his system when he asked — and sees growing interest across the Scottish whitefish fleet.

The system has created quite a buzz around the Scottish fleet, and I can see that there will be a lot more skippers using the system, and working with the Catchwise team, to make this an even more useful platform for the Scottish whitefish fleet.
