2023 is here, and time to get your fishing game on! Here are 5 (*free!) apps we like that help us fish more effectively.
(*Most/all of these apps have paid features, although most anglers will find these beneficial without subscribing*)
- Fishweather. Wind direction & speed. This app also allows you to see wave height/frequency, and it will show you this data into the future to help you plan your trips more effectively.
- Navionics. Mapping, GPS capabilities, allows you to see bathymetric contours (think topographical map, but underwater) – lets you see ledges, drop offs, shallow areas, bridges, marinas, boat launches, etc. GPS capability lets you save waypoints, tracks, etc.
- Tide Charts. No-nonsense tide app lets you see low/high tides, moon phases for the next several days into the future. Without all the annoying crap that clutters most apps’ screens.
- My Radar. Easy to use, non-cluttered radar app. Shows you if it is raining where you’re headed to fish. My favorite weather app!
- Fish Rules. Created by Deer Meat For Dinner (Robert Arrington’s) big brother, this app keeps up with your GPS location, and shows you the rules for all your saltwater species: length requirements, slot lengths, creel limits, season closures, etc.

May 2023 be your year for more tight lines!
