The idea for Hooked on Sport Fishing Gaming App, began where most great fishing stories do, out on the water. For 15 years, Michael owned two sport fishing boats: the 65’ Sea View and the 48’ Lucky Find. He spent countless hours fishing and sharing those experiences with friends. One friend, in particular, kept bringing up fishing gaming apps after every trip. One day, curious and intrigued, Michael finally asked, “What’s this fishing gaming app thing you keep talking about?” That question changed everything. Michael’s friend encouraged him to take his love of fishing and turn it into a mobile gaming app, something real fishermen and fishing women could enjoy. “Draw it out,” Michael’s friend said. So, Michael did just that. In late 2013, he sat down with pen and paper and sketched the original concept for what would become Hooked on Sport Fishing Gaming APP. What started as a simple drawing soon became a full-fledged idea. An app that could capture the thrill of saltwater fishing, a life-like saltwater experience. And that’s how Hooked on Sport Fishing Gaming App was born.

Getting the Hooked on Sport Fishing Gaming App Coded:

After sketching the original concept in late 2013, Michael was determined to turn his vision into a real mobile gaming experience. Not knowing where to start with the development, Michael asked his friend the same one who inspired the idea, for help finding the right developer. Together, they talked to several candidates until they found the perfect fit: a coding company that shared Michael’s passion and understood his vision. In early 2014, Michael officially partnered with the development team. Over the following year, they worked through multiple test builds, gameplay refinements, and bug fixes to bring the Hooked on Sport Fishing Gaming App to life. Finally, in early 2015, the app launched on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, bringing the thrill of sport fishing to mobile fishermen and fishing women from around the world. The app remained live and active for over seven years, building a loyal community of users. In late 2022, it was officially pulled from the stores, not due to lack of interest, but because the codebase had become outdated and needed a major rebuild to meet modern standards.

Re-Coding the Hooked on Sport Fishing Gaming App:

When Michael discovered the app had been removed from the app stores in late 2022, he immediately reached out to the original development company. Unfortunately, the response wasn’t what he hoped for they had stopped building gaming apps altogether. Thankfully, they had previously sent Michael the APK files, although they no longer retained backups themselves. The only support they could offer was a few developer contacts and phone numbers. Michael quickly learned that the first question any new developer asked was the same: “Do you have the source code and APK files?” Armed with only the APK files, Michael began searching for someone to revive the app. He initially hired a freelancer who made big promises, but after several delays and disappointing attempts, it became clear the project was out of their depth. Determined to move forward, Michael finally connected with a capable development team in May 2024. Despite some early miscommunication over design assets and expectations, the team decided the best path forward was to start from scratch. By August 2024, they had officially begun re-coding the app with a fresh build, a clearer road map, and even a discounted rate as a gesture of goodwill. The journey to bring Hooked on Sport Fishing Gaming App back to life had officially begun again.
