CATFISHING FINALLY HAS ITS OWN PLATFORM.

Education & Safety

Practical tactics, youth education, and on-water safety resources.

Mapping & Water Intelligence

Subscriber-only maps, waypoint planning, and useful water intelligence.

Conservation

Catch-photo-release, reduced travel and fish handling, fair access, and accountability.

Verified Competition

Tournament registration, catch documentation, leaderboards, and national rankings.

Community

Profiles, posts, likes, comments, shares, groups, notifications, and private messaging.

Marketplace & Growth

Angler gear and vendors, with apparel and a future kayak division.

Compete From Anywhere. Earn Your Rank.

Every angler whose catch is submitted must have an active paid ACAA membership and their own ACAA ID. Fish caught by nonmembers may not be entered through another member’s account. Catches are submitted through the in-app camera and documentation process under the same published rules for every competitor.

Eligible results build state rankings. Future regional championship events will qualify top anglers. A future ACAA Grand National is the long-term championship goal.

ACAA Safety Hub: Help Starts Here

If there is immediate danger, call 911. On coastal or navigable waters, contact the U.S. Coast Guard on VHF-FM Channel 16 (156.8 MHz).

Official Emergency Contacts

Direct links to state-level DNR, state police, and local law enforcement. Always prioritize official dispatch for emergencies.

Permission-Based Location Sharing

Location sharing is always optional. Use it to help others find you for non-emergency assistance only when you choose to activate it.

Community Help Request (Planned Feature)

Community help is voluntary, non-emergency, and never guaranteed. Location-aware agency lookup and community assistance are planned until active.

Prepare Before You Launch

Access localized water intelligence, flow gauges, and weather trends to assess conditions before hitting the ramp.

ACAA is not an emergency dispatch, towing, rescue, or law-enforcement service. App information and community assistance do not replace 911, VHF Channel 16, official alerts, or professional responders.

Test ACAA With Us

ACAA is preparing a controlled iOS launch and is recruiting serious anglers to test features, report issues, and provide detailed feedback. Help us refine the ultimate catfishing platform. Note: Android testing is planned for later; no specific dates or guarantees are provided at this time.

Submitting this form does not guarantee tester acceptance. Accepted testers must follow all testing instructions and maintain strict confidentiality requirements.

Feature Notice

This module provides outlooks based on connected data sources. ACAA does not guarantee accuracy, safety, or fish catches. Always prioritize local alerts.

Privacy, Safety & Common Sense

We respect your LOCATION PRIVACY. ACAA anglers are never required to reveal their exact fishing hotspots. You can participate in catch submission and share useful environmental conditions—such as depth and temperature—to build your ranking and help the community, all without exposing the precise GPS coordinates of your private spots.

Always monitor OFFICIAL ALERTS and prioritize safety. Our educational resources and water intelligence are tools, not replacements for official weather warnings, Coast Guard requirements, state boating laws, or emergency instructions. ACAA does not guarantee personal safety, fish catches, or forecast accuracy. Common sense on the water remains your primary guide.
