Watercraft automation and aquatic data utilization for aquatic efforts are utilized for fishing and network communication. Prior aquatic effort data can be provided on an internet based service. Current aquatic effort data can be obtained on the internet based service from a first computing device. A processor associated with the internet based service can update the prior aquatic effort data having a matching position identifier with the current aquatic effort data. A second computing device associated with a second watercraft can be provided access to the update.
