ABSTRACT
Fishing is the activity of trying to catch fish, either for food or as a sport. It is one of the most well-known hobby nowadays. People who love fishing found that fishing is relaxing and challenging at the same time. There are certain fishing spots that are guaranteed or have high probability to catch specific types of fish. They can be found by experience of fishing at certain place.Unfortunately, it is hard to find fishing spots especially for those who are new in fishing and people who want to try fishing at different place.
Fishing Spots Tracker Application is very helpful because it can display fishing spots in certain areas. It can assist people with details on where they should go fishing so that they can catch specific types of fish that they desire. They can also save their own fishing spots and share it with other users.
The technique that will be used for this application is decision tree method. It will help the application by sorting the data to display fishing spots based on user’s preference which are the fish type, either freshwater or saltwater fish and also the location that is the states of Malaysia.

INTRODUCTION
Fishing, or angling, is the activity of trying to catch fish with a rod, reel, line and
baited hooks. It is one of many popular recreational activities which helps us to relax
and teaches us the importance of self-reliance and patience. A fishing kit, some extra
lures and baits, and good knowledge of fishing are one’s weapons when going for
fishing.
However, knowing where to fish is equally important, or probably, more
important than anything else. For the new anglers, they will have to try out different
areas, until they find their favourite fishing spots. Sometimes it can take months if not
years. In any water body, fish may be hiding amidst aquatic plants, or under a log, or
may be swimming deeper than you thought they would.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
- The problem comes for those who are new in fishing because they don’t have the experience or knowledge on where to fish. People can’t just throw their baits in the middle of water and expect to get big-sized fish. They need to know the exact location of which fish is living under the specific location.
- It is hard for those who come from a different place to try fishing at a new place. Fishing knowledge alone might not be enough to catch fish. For instance, an experienced angler who is trying to fish at a new area might not catch fish at all because there might be a factor that makes the fish go away from their usual habitat like there’s been water pollution in that area.
- People who went to fish at a new place might forget their fishing spot. This is because of the direction to the fishing location is hard.
OBJECTIVES
- To design a user-friendly Fishing Spots Tracker mobile application
- To develop Fishing Spots Tracker mobile application by using Decision Tree method
- To test Fishing Spots Tracker application that can benefit user to find fishing location easily might as well save and share the fishing spots
SYSTEM FRAMEWORKWhen user adds a fishing location, it will be stored into the database. When user wants to view fishing spots, they have to choose fish type and location or state first. Then, the application will sort the
data using decision tree to display a list of all fishing spots based on user preference. |
DECISION TREE METHOD
Figure shows an example of decision tree method for Fishing Spots Tracker Application. To view the fishing spots, user needs to pick the location first, which is one of the states in Malaysia. An example of the locations is either Terengganu or Johor. Then, user needs to choose either they want to catch freshwater or saltwater fish. The application then sorts the data based on the location and fish type to display all the fishing spots available to the user. It shows the classification to view fishing spots based on location and fish type.

CONCLUSION
- The design of this application is described in detail by using Data Flow Diagram (DFD), Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD), System Framework, and User Interfaces.
- Developed a user-friendly Fishing Spots Tracker Application that can help its users to find and save their fishing spots easily around Malaysia
- Decision Tree method is used to classify user's preference to view fishing spots based on location (state e.g: Terengganu) and fish type (Freshwater or Saltwater fish)
