Angler Responsibility
Read the Rules! Every angler is responsible for checking their Digital
Livewell® at the end of the day to make sure all of their fish submissions have
been RECEIVED. Tap on the Digital Livewell® (fish icon). You will need a
minimum of 2 bars of service or strong wifi. If any entries have a message
that reads NOT RECEIVED, leave that screen open until all fish read RECEIVED
to the leaderboard.
Practice the FishDonkey App ahead of time
Test the app before you get out on the water.
1. Download the app
2. Join "Practice Entering a Fish"
FishDonkey in poor reception areas
The app will work without the internet. Open the app before heading out to
poorly covered areas and tap on the name of the tourney. That is all it takes to
fully load your tournament. You are ready! Fish should be entered as normal
in bad reception areas, through the button 'Enter a Fish'. Your Digital
Livewell® (fish icon) will show you if there are fish waiting for an internet
connection to get pushed into the leaderboard. When you get back to a
well-connected area, open your Digital Livewell® and leave that screen
open/active until all fish are “Received”. If your pictures are missing from the
leaderboard, this is what you need to do. Until your pictures are received, do
not delete or alter the photos on your phone, as the software will not accept
your photos as originals.
Photos not showing on the leaderboard?
Open your Digital Livewell (fish icon) when you get back to an area with good
reception. Leave that screen open until all fish are “Received”. Never delete
anything from your Digital Livewell.
