Jom Mancing
Fishing for all
The team
About this project
Fishing is one of Malaysia's most popular pastimes, but the learning curve is notoriously steep. Most beginners feel overwhelmed by the complexities of the sport. From getting the right equipments in the tackle shop to understanding how weather, tides, moon cycle and bait choice affect their success. Most beginner anglers would just come to the kolam purely guessing and coming back kumpau (empty handed), which quickly demotivates them.
Jom Mancing solves all of these problems by acting as the "Digital Otai"; a knowledgeable local companion for anglers of all levels. Our mobile application features an interactive map that curates nearby kolams and fishing spots, complete with ratings, price, rules and other important informations for anglers. Users can also log their catch, keeping it for their own record or uploading it to the public to show who's boss.
Besides anglers, we are also targeting kolam and tackle shop owners. Our platform provides business with B2B tools to update live restocking schedules, promote upcoming tournaments or sale, boosting visibility. By bridging traditional fishing culture with modern digital convenience, Jom Mancing creates a one stop ecosystem that makes fishing more accessible and engaging for everyone
