BankSide: Carp & Coarse

BankSide is a field journal for UK carp and coarse anglers — your sessions, your fish and the waters you fish, written down in one place you'll actually want to open. Built in the UK, by anglers, with no tackle brand behind it.

Free forever for the core logbook.

THE LIVE DIARY — log it from the bank
Pick your water and swim, set a target and tap start. A live timer runs while you fish. Log each fish the moment it's on the mat — weight in lb and oz, species, rig, bait, swim and a photo. Running more than one rod? Per-rod one-tap logging means a fish goes down in a single tap, no fumbling while it's in the net. Add Bank notes for bites, rebaits and the weather turning, then share a clean session summary at pack-down.

YOUR NUMBERS — PBs and Form, tracked for you
BankSide flags a new Personal Best the moment you save it — by species and by venue. Form turns a season of fishing into something worth studying: average-weight trends, your best baits and your strongest swims, all worked out for you. No spreadsheet, no guesswork.

BANK CONDITIONS — read the water before you go
The Bank Conditions weather and conditions map shows you what the wind and weather are doing across your venue, so you can work out which pegs are on the wind before you ever load the car. Honest help making a decision, not a promise of a fish.

DISCOVERY — know the water before you cast
Study UK venues before you book: swim maps, lake records, named fish, recent catches and reviews. Pick your peg with intent and see what's been coming out.

ONE STORY, EVERY SESSION
Your catches, venues and numbers add up over time into a record that's yours to keep — on iOS, Android and the web. Pin the home-screen widget on Android to see your session at a glance.

WHAT WE STAND FOR
Fish welfare first. Honesty about the blanks as much as the bites. Day-ticket and urban waters get the same respect as the big-name syndicates. Weights in pounds and ounces, the way you actually talk about them on the bank.
