Top 5 species by reports

This ranking is based on report volume. It is not a catch guarantee or an indicator of species abundance.

Most of the species reported account for a significant portion of all recorded fishing activity in the Getfished database. This indicates where reports are most frequently submitted, not necessarily overall fish quantities or catch success.

Higher numbers often indicate popular, easy, or heavily fished species. While species that are reported less may still be present but are less visible within reporting patterns.
