Infish 1.0 was the first project Getbusi completed for the Inland Fisheries Service (IFS). Originally starting as a UTAS-supported student project, Infish quickly evolved to become the pocket reference for Tassie anglers with a database of all public angling waters and their regulations, news, stocking data, webcams, weather forecasts and more.

Following the success of the IFS Online project, it was the right time to rebuild the app for the newest smartphone features, improve the overall design and allow anglers to manage and display their licensing info within the app. The result is the Infish App 2.0, which leverages integration with IFS Online to provide fully live data such as lake levels, as well as notifying anglers of news and fish stocking events around Tasmania. The app is completely free, on behalf of the Service, and runs on both iOS and Android phones.

Offline access

Many of Tasmania’s best fishing spots have little-to-no reception for mobile data. So a core feature of Infish is to provide offline access to all of its resources. This even extends to the Angler Diary features, which will automatically synchronise new trips and catches back to IFS’s servers once the device has returned to internet access.

Angler Diary

An angler diary has long been recognised as the ideal way that anglers can record where, when and how they have fished. This enables anglers to reflect, gather information and build knowledge that they can use to plan successful fishing trips. And what better way to make that convenient for everybody than the Infish app?

Integrating with the latest Infish App, we added features to web and mobile platforms to enable anglers to log in with their licence information and record their fishing effort and catch as they go and use it for future reference. The information provided will also help manage and maintain the fishery.
