Fishbox uses different map markers to help you quickly identify important locations on the map. These include fishing spots, your saved places, logged catches, and useful points of interest such as boat ramps, hand launches, and bait & tackle shops.
Understanding what each marker represents makes it easier to navigate the map, plan your fishing trips, and quickly find the locations and services you need while on the water.
Below is a guide explaining the different markers you may see on the Fishbox map and what each one represents.
Markers
Fishing Spots
These markers are green and feature a fish icon, indicating verified spots where fishing conditions are favorable. These spots are identified based on reliable reports of successful catches, offering you a higher chance of a good catch.
My Places
This red marker appears with a bookmark icon, representing locations you have personally marked. These might include your preferred fishing spots or areas of interest that you wish to explore or monitor for weather and fishing forecasts.My Catches
Marked with a float icon, these purple markers highlight locations where you’ve logged catches previously. They serve as a personal record of your fishing successes and can assist in identifying patterns or preferred spots over time.
Points of Interest (Premium feature)
Boat Ramps
These markers indicate trailer-access boat ramps, where you can launch or retrieve larger boats from the water. They are useful for anglers fishing from bass boats, motorboats, or other trailered vessels.
Hand Launches
Hand Launch markers show access points for kayaks, canoes, and other small watercraft that can be launched by hand without a trailer.
Bait & Tackle Shops
These markers highlight local fishing shops where you can purchase bait, tackle, lures, and other fishing gear before or during your trip.
Managing Map Markers
To manage the visibility of markers on your map, simply do the following:
Open Map Settings on the Map tab, scroll down and adjust the settings.
Enable a marker by toggling the switch to the right, or disable it by toggling to the left. An active marker will show a blue switch, while an inactive marker’s switch will appear grey.
