A new social media app has launched which aims to link up keen fishers with boaties willing to take them out. After building a profile listing their interests, Fishily users can list or apply for a trip.

It's a way to both split the costs, while also forming connections with like-minded people. It's the creation of two next door neighbours in Tauranga, who found themselves discussing what a shame it was to see unused boats on all of the surrounding driveways.

Todd Morris and Scott Clark linked up with local software engineer Jackson Currie, who brought the idea to life. Scott Clark speaks with Kathryn Ryan.
