Visual system remounted from Depth (dark floor, mint signals, foam CTAs) to Atlantic Mineral: limestone foundation, ink typography, sea-glass primary CTA, copper caution. Display is Source Serif 4; body is Manrope; eyebrows and numerals use IBM Plex Mono.
2026-08-09
Desktop primary nav is Plan · Spots · Species · Learn. Mobile chrome is GlowNav only (Today · Spots · Species · More). Tide & Weather, Gear, Rigs, Dublin and Start here sit in More, not a second bottom bar.
2026-08-09
Atlantic homepage hero photo framing and section gaps tightened so the first viewport reads as one composition. Species directory thumbnails use contain-in-plate so fish are not cropped at the edges.
2026-08-09
Plan shows a copper Watch Out caution band when conditions warrant it. Session email capture keeps a dedicated email field, with optional Sunday Wicklow plan signup on the same form.
2026-08-09
Canonical species profiles live at /species/[slug]. Legacy /species-guide/[slug] paths permanently redirect there. Pollock and mullet aliases redirect to pollack and grey-mullet.
2026-08-09
Mark guides include a Pack next strip with the recommended (or fallback) rig how-to and session gear setup links, so the Home → Plan → Mark → Pack spine stays visible on every mark.
2026-08-08
Sunday Wicklow plan email capture added to Conditions and Species guide before the closing band. Article signup moved above related links so it is not buried under next-steps. Legacy mid-article thursday-alert prop removed (mid-article stays plan-only).
2026-08-08
September to October what's biting hub refreshed for the late-August run-in, with supporting edits on tope, whiting, Wicklow beach whiting and winter Wicklow guides. Honest dateModified bumps only where prose changed.
2026-08-06
CEO lock: Dublin stays guide-only under /dublin (no live scoring until a Bay-aware scorer and protocol gates). Spots, gear, partner, insider hub chrome, conditions fallback wording, and verified rig local notes now name Dublin + Wicklow. Mark allowlist and Greystones weather coords unchanged.
2026-08-06
Dublin coast hub expanded from four marks to eleven guide marks (Howth to Killiney, plus Skerries) with ground type, Dublin Port tide notes, and safety copy. New town hubs for Sutton, Dollymount, Poolbeg, Sandymount, Dalkey and Killiney. Product framing on About, Learn, Editorial and Home now names Dublin + Wicklow. Live plan scoring stays Wicklow-only until scoring gates are met.
2026-08-03
Primary nav hubs, Learn, Start here, Editorial, and Changelog rebuilt onto the Depth floor (dark instrument, mint signals, foam CTAs). Sitewide lime and neon accents removed. Editorial and changelog file locks lifted so trust pages stay on the live design system. Superseded on 2026-08-09 by Atlantic Mineral.
2026-07-15
Bass rules re-verified against primary sources: bag limit and closed season cited to Bye-Law No. 826 of 2007, the 42 cm minimum size to EU law (Regulation 2026/249, with the SFPA MCRS list). Corrections: mackerel minimum size (20 cm, previously shown as none) and pollack minimum size (30 cm statutory, previously described as voluntary). Regulation data now renders from a single verified source and every rules page cites its instruments.
2026-07-15
Affiliate links moved to Amazon.ie to match where Irish readers actually shop; disclosures updated to name the store. Thursday weekend-alert signup added to the most-read articles. Autumn species guides (whiting, tope, flounder) refreshed with Wicklow-first openers and a new September to October "what's biting" guide published.
2026-07-15
Fair verdict text now meets contrast standards on light backgrounds, with verdict colours routed through one shared system. Coast maps restructured so links inside them work with screen readers. Gear bag lifted clear of the mobile navigation.
June 2026
New light visual direction (Shoreline v3) testing against the existing design. Edge caching added so pages load faster; conditions data still refreshes on its usual schedule.
May 2026
All 40 blog articles migrated to light-native hex classes (no dark text-shell or bg-glass-3 tokens). Shared ArticleGearCard for gear blocks. globals.css trimmed: removed unused content-deck, wave dividers, scroll-reveal, and article hover-lift overrides.
May 2026
Removed unused dark-era layout deck, blog index cards, species list card, conditions verdict component, scroll-reveal hook, and one-off migration scripts. Blog index and species directory now use light components only. /learn replaces /guides; start-here tools live on the main start-here page.
May 2026
Editorial and changelog migrated to the light hub template. Orphan dark homepage components removed. Seasonal panel restored on the homepage. Dead routes (/guides, /start-here/new, /start-here/tools) removed in favour of redirects. Mobile menu focus trap, homepage metadata, and ESLint Next.js plugin wired.

7 new articles added (garfish, pollock, plaice, night bass, Wicklow Town, best shore fishing rod, shore fishing tides). 5 mis-tagged affiliate links corrected across article gear cards. Total articles now 39.

SSL stapling directive removed from Nginx config.
2026-05-09
Removed the public catch reporting and feed experience to keep the site focused on planning, spots, species and responsible local guidance. Legacy catch-report URLs now redirect to contact for corrections and local notes.
2026-04-27
Added an explainable daily planning experience (/plan), editorial standards page, changelog, clearer live-weather fallbacks, and Google Maps deep links on spot pages.
2026-04-27
Full UI consistency pass, calmer buttons, flatter cards, clearer focus states, and quieter motion. Badge styling finalised across the site.
