Harvester Notes
Track the information that matters to your fishing enterprise.
There’s plenty of information you might want to keep track of to support your fishing enterprise.
Fuel and bait costs. Sale prices and buyer information. Weather and sea conditions. Gear observations. Reminders for next season. Or anything else that’s useful to you.
Harvester Notes let you keep that information in your Vericatch ELOG instead of relying on notebooks, spreadsheets, scraps of paper or your memory.
Add information throughout the season while it’s fresh, then refer back to it when you need it. Over time, your notes can help you track expenses and revenue, understand your fishing effort, and see where you’re making — or spending — money.
And Harvester Notes are private. They’re for you and aren’t submitted to the DFO or accessed by anyone without your permission.
With Harvester Notes you can:
- Record your own information alongside individual trips
- Keep track of expenses, revenue and other business information
- Record conditions, gear observations and reminders
- Keep information together instead of in multiple notebooks, apps or spreadsheets
- Look back at your fishing history to help you make more informed decisions
Catch Tracker
Know where you stand throughout the season.
Catch Tracker gives you an easy way to keep an eye on your catch as the season progresses.
All Vericatch users can track their catch and quota. If you have a quota, you can see how much you’ve caught and how much remains. If you don’t have a formal quota, you can set your own target and track your progress against it.
Pro and Premium users can go further, with additional insights that help you understand your fishing activity and effort using information you’re already entering into your ELOG.
With Catch Tracker you can:
- Track your catch throughout the season
- Monitor your remaining quota or set your own catch target
- See your progress at a glance
- Unlock additional insights into your fishing activity and effort.
Market Update
Get market information you won’t find from other ELOGs.
Good market information can be difficult and expensive for individual harvesters to access.
Vericatch’s Market Update for our Premium and Pro users gives you weekly market information during the season for a range of species where ELOGs are mandated — information you won’t get from other ELOG providers. It helps you stay better informed about the current value of your catch without having to source and pay for that information separately.
Whether you’re watching market conditions or heading into a conversation with a buyer, you can go in better informed.
With Vericatch’s Market Update, you:
- Get market information not available through other ELOGs
- Receive updated information weekly during the fishing season
- Stay better informed about the current value of your catch
- Have more information at hand when talking with buyers
Auto-Generated PDF Reports
Have your trip information ready when you come dockside.
With the touch of a button, your Vericatch ELOG automatically creates a PDF record of your trip information, giving you a clear and comprehensive record you can use dockside.
You can provide the information to your dockside monitor and keep a copy for your own records, so it’s there if you need to refer to it again.
With auto-generated PDF reports, you can:
- Have your trip information ready when you come dockside
- Provide a comprehensive record to your dockside monitor
- Keep a copy for your own records
- Access previous reports when you need them
