Smart Fishing: A Mobile App That Enhances Every Catch

Capture fish photos to identify species instantly using AI-powered image recognition technology.

Store and access data without internet connectivity—perfect for remote fishing locations.

Connect with other anglers, share trip highlights, and exchange tips directly through the app.

Get alerts for optimal fishing times, weather changes, and location-specific conditions.

Personalized dashboard to access most-used features and get quick updates at a glance.

All user data is safely stored and synced via encrypted cloud storage for easy access across devices.

The app was developed using Flutter for cross-platform compatibility, along with Firebase for real-time database management and cloud storage.

Google Maps API enabled precise location tracking, while OpenWeatherMap API provided real-time weather data.

Integration of AI-based image recognition allowed users to identify and catalog fish species from photos. SQLite was used for offline trip data storage, ensuring functionality in remote areas.

The app also featured push notifications, secure login with OAuth, and responsive UI/UX for enhanced usability.

One of the major challenges was handling the massive volume of data, with gigabytes flowing in every hour. Efficiently processing and storing this data in real-time required a robust backend infrastructure.

Another significant hurdle involved managing Google Maps (GMAP) integration and fine-tuning geo-location algorithms. These were crucial for calculating the Fishing Suitability Index (FSI), which depended on accurately tracking whether the fisherman and the available fish were located within the same water body region.

The app offers features to assist users in planning and scheduling future fishing trips.

All features are designed to maximize fishing trip success and enjoyment through comprehensive data management.
