I was fishing all weekend, yet registered unbelievable amount of steps each day. How can that happen?

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @ConfusedFisherm.

 

Wrist-based Fitbit device (like Sense, Versa series, Charge series, etc) will combined the movement of your arms plus the movement of your feet to track steps. When you're driving, riding a bike or you're on a surface with constant vibration or movement (like a boat), your device might register extra steps. You can delete those extra steps by following the instructions from this help article: How do I add, edit, or delete Fitbit data and activities?

 

Hope this helps.

I don't see the activity Driving to get rid of the 10k steps Fitbit thinks I made in 15min during my sleep.  Any other way to get rid of those step?
