The Anglr Tracker Is Here To Change The Way You Fish

Writing out a Fishing Log? Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That. Introducing The Anglr Tracker

This post was guest written by Anglr Tracker Team Member Todd WilliamsAnglr Labs is an independent company that is presenting a new way to document your fishing trips using technology to automate the process. Their technology has been dubbed by some as the FitBit for fishermen.

The date is June 17th, 2007 - it’s Father’s Day. The water is Lake Carmel, NY - a small lake in southeastern New York. My older brother, Eric, and I are getting a rare chance to get on the water together.Man, those times are great. No matter where you are in life, you can’t help but be brought back to childhood, when you two did everything together. Needless to say, we are catching a lot of fish. A LOT. It was right then, somewhere between 7 and 8am, Eric missed netting what would have been my biggest largemouth to this date. It snapped off right next to the boat and swam off. We stared silently in awe at the sheer size of this fish as it made its way out of dodge. Was it his fault for missing? Was it my fault for not checking if my line was frayed? Who cares. We settled back in and kept killing it.Did Eric and I keep a fishing log? Nope. Can we tell you anything about the reading on the barometer that day? God, no. We were out on the water with each other making a memory that will probably last as long as we live. On the other hand, would we love to have kept the locations of where we we were catching them, have all the pictures, and have seen trends of the barometric pressure, wind speeds, moon phase, and water temperature while we were slamming numerous 5lbers a piece? Sure, we can. It would be a chance to relive that day together.Anglr Labs, located in Pennsylvania and manufactures next to the waters of Lake Erie in Pennsylvania, is a technology company that is simplifying the effort in keeping a fishing log book and journal. It all starts with a mobile app that records and tracks your day on the water. The mobile app automatically records important weather and water information, marks and saves key GPS way-points, stores memorable fish photos, and much more. The app pairs with the Anglr Tracker via Bluetooth and essentially make the process hands free. At the end of the day, the Anglr Log Book gives fishermen high level statistics in a readable format.

The Tracker has the ability to drop pins, count casts, mark catches, and even track fight time. It automatically uploads data to phones and computers in a very simple non-invasive way. Anglr was founded by three friends while recounting a fishing trip. Nic Wilson, Landon Bloomer and TJ Corbett were fishing near Oil City, PA when they found themselves in a heated argument over who had caught more fish. Just like that, the idea was born. Bloomer touts that biggest benefit of the Anglr Tracker platform “provides you the capabilities to make smarter decisions and break down waters faster in the pursuit of catching more fish.” Not to mention the ability to relive past trips on the water.

The Future Of Fishing

The team at Anglr Labs is working towards constantly adapting and updating The Anglr Tracker for the anglers’ needs. They are looking to roll out a social platform that will allow anglers to share or withhold any information they would like. Even cooler, they are adding a “Squad Up” mode that will allow anglers to compete against each other, compare notes, waypoints, and share realtime fishing information as they wish. As Eric and I settle into our lives in different parts of the United States, we can still use fishing to connect through the ANGLR platform.
