How does it work?

The recipes are curated species by species. Pick the fish you are after, then narrow it down by technique or shore type if you want. Each card lists the parts in rig order and the safety gear to keep with you.

The recipes are a starting point. Check the local regulations, the minimum sizes and the conditions of the day before you fish.
