A free lobster haul log built for Maine's five-trap recreational license: count every catch, track your traps, and see your season add up.
One tap per lobster: keeper, oversize, short, or breeder, with bait, tide, and water temp filled in for you.
Add it to your home screen and it loads with zero bars, saving every count, note, and trap position the moment you tap it, then syncing once you're back in range. Signal is only needed to sign in.
Drop a pin with GPS or a tap on the map. Maine DMR zone lines show which water you're licensed to fish, and trap locations stay private to your account, never shared.
Swap the map for NOAA's own chart data: depth contours, soundings, and hazards, right over your trap grounds.
Every trip summed up for you: keepers, traps checked, and keep rate. Charts of keepers by trap and by month, plus tide, bait, and how this season stacks up against last.
Track keepers on hand between hauls, in or out.
Every screen gets used wet, cold, and one-handed before it ships. Whatever doesn't work out there gets cut, not shipped as a setting.
Commercial trap software is built for hundreds of traps and a crew. Sternman is scoped to exactly five, the limit on Maine's noncommercial license, so there's nothing extra to configure or manage.
Pencil and pages don't survive salt spray, and a spreadsheet means columns and formulas to keep up. Sternman is ready the moment you add a trap, and it remembers the season so you don't have to.
Sternman is free. Add your first trap and start your season in about a minute.
