The heart of theShoal. Create your own competition in minutes or jump into a platform-wide event. Every competition has its own rules, leaderboard, and time frame.
User-Generated Competitions
Create invite-only competitions for your friends or fishing club. You control the rules — species, location, duration, and scoring.
Platform Competitions
Competitions run by the theShoal team, open to all users. Browse and join the ones that interest you.
Custom Rules
Define competitions by weight, length, catch count, specific species, or location. Set a timeframe from a single day to an entire season.
Real-time Leaderboards
Standings update live as catches are logged. Know exactly where you stand at any moment.
Log a catch in seconds. Take a photo, enter the weight and species, and theShoal does the rest — automatically crediting the catch to every active competition you're part of.
No need to manually submit to each competition. One log, everywhere it counts.
Going out on the water? Start a session. Every catch you log during the session is automatically tagged with the time and location. When you're done, end the session to finalise your results.
