What it does

Every catch records its own conditions

Save a fish and the app files the conditions it was caught in: tide state and height, wind and gusts, swell and period, moon phase and solunar window, pressure and its trend, sea and air temperature. Over a season that becomes the answer to which tide, moon and wind actually catch fish.

The week ahead, with bite times

Seven days of wind, swell, tides and sea temperature for any of your marks or where you're standing, with the solunar major and minor bite periods for each day, a score for the next 48 hours built from your own catches, and the Bureau's coastal waters forecast.

What actually caught fish

Catches by tide, moon, solunar period, wind, swell, pressure trend and water temperature; your best marks and depths for this time of year; a PDF season report.

Tide from the tables, not a model

The tide on every catch comes from the Bureau's 2026 predictions for the nearest port — every WA and Queensland port, and every other state's standard ports. Slack, run, height, and the next turn.

Seabed contours and every WA boat ramp

Depth contours from Perth to Broome and out around the islands, plus the Sunshine Coast. All 190-odd Department of Transport ramps, with lanes, jetties, trailer bays and the tide there now.

Marks the way your plotter shows them

Positions read and type as S32°35.922' E115°37.681' — the same boxes as your Garmin. Import a GPX of your marks and the app names the spot for you when you are on it.

Your spots stay on your phone

There is no account, no feed, no analytics and no server of ours. Catches, photos, positions and notes live on the phone. The only thing that ever leaves it is a position rounded to a 2 km grid square, sent to a weather service to fetch the conditions — so an exact mark never leaves the phone, and mark names, notes and photos never do either. The privacy policy says exactly what is sent and to whom.
