Lima, OH, October 22, 2026 —
Co-Angler, an app developed by John Bledsoe, is designed to help anglers find companions for fishing trips. The idea was inspired by Bledsoe’s experiences fishing alone at Pomme de Terre Lake near Hermitage, Missouri.
The platform allows users to create profiles and find other people to fish with. Its stated aim is to foster human connection and outdoor recreation by helping anglers connect around shared fishing plans.
The information provided about Co-Angler does not specify how users are matched, what details profiles contain or whether the app is limited to particular locations. It also does not give a launch date, pricing information, user numbers or details about the app’s availability. No statements from Bledsoe or users were provided.
The description frames the app as a way to address the experience of fishing alone by making it possible to look for companions. It does not provide information about how many anglers have used the platform or whether it has led to fishing trips. Those details, along with the company or organization behind the app beyond its development by Bledsoe, were not provided.
For now, the available description establishes the app’s basic purpose and its personal inspiration: connecting anglers who may want company on a fishing trip. Further details about its operation, reach and development were not included.
