The conditions half of the fishing report runs itself — water temperature, wind and tides come straight off NOAA CO-OPS stations every fifteen minutes. The half that machines cannot do is the part you are holding: what actually came out of the water.
If you caught something worth mentioning, send it here. It does not have to be a trophy. “Steady sea mullet in the Avon trough on shrimp, two hours before high” is genuinely more useful to the next person than a photo of one big drum.

What happens to it
A person reads every report before it appears on the site. Nothing posts automatically. If a detail looks off — a species that does not match the water temperature, a closure that was in effect that day — we will either email you to check or leave it out. Reports that cannot be attributed to someone do not run at all.
Approved reports appear in the Confirmed Catches section with your name or initials, the stretch of beach, and the date you fished. We keep it to the stretch rather than the spot on purpose. Nobody wants their hole burned, and a vacationer deciding where to fish tomorrow morning only needs to know the region.
Your email address, if you leave one, is only ever used to check a detail with you. It is not published, not sold, and not added to any mailing list. There is no account to create and nothing to sign up for. See the editorial policy for how corrections and sourcing are handled across the rest of the site.
