Sessions
Ending a session & AI debrief
When you're ready to pack up, tap End Session to see a summary, trigger the AI debrief, and capture weather data for your analytics.
End the session
When you are finished specimen fishing, scroll to the session controls and tap End Session.
When you are finished fishing, press End Session on the live Specimen session screen.
Confirm the browser or app confirmation if it appears. CatchMate saves the session and shows the Session Complete summary.
The Session Complete summary shows three fish, the total weight, best fish, duration, catch rate, and the option to continue.
The example values in the summary are illustrative: three fish totalling 37 lb 8 oz over 1 hour 34 minutes. They are not required results.
After the summary
The summary includes the catch count, total weight, best fish, duration, and catch rate. Tap Continue to add session notes or complete the remaining post-session steps when those options are enabled.
AI debrief
After ending, CatchMate generates an AI debrief for the session. This reviews your catches, conditions, and tackle to highlight:
- What worked best (bait, rod, time of day)
- How this session compares to your recent form
- Any patterns worth noting for your next visit
The debrief is saved with the session and can be viewed at any time from Session History.
Weather capture
If your venue has a postcode saved, weather data (temperature, wind speed, direction, pressure, sky condition) is captured automatically at session end. This feeds the Weather Intelligence analytics over time.
Session History
All ended sessions appear in Session History, accessible from the home screen. Tap any session to view the full catch log, timeline, AI debrief, and weather data.
