Complete the requested details and tap 'Next'.

Fill report

All report fields must be completed.

Enter the report number you received when your 'Prior to Landing Report' was submitted in the field labelled 'Prior Report Numbers'. You can enter multiple report numbers in this field – just leave a space between each report number.

If you have not caught a certain species, enter "0" in that field.

You can input weight to one decimal place, e.g. 50.7.

Tap 'Next' to continue.

Summary

A summary of all input information will be presented prior to submission.

If you have made a mistake, click on the left arrow at the top of the page to go back and correct information.

If the summary is correct, tap the 'Confirm and Submit' button at the bottom of the screen.

Once submitted, you cannot change the report using the app. You can request a change using eCatch.

After submission, you will receive an SMS to confirm your report has been received and a CDR number.

Tip: The CDR number is your licence number, followed by the date as YYMMDD (year, month, day) and then a letter indicating the trips undertaken that day – e.g. the CDR number M533220506B is made up of the licence number M533, the date is 6 May 2022 and the letter B indicates it was the second trip fished that day.
