Fishbrain - Fishing App helps anglers plan trips, explore fishing locations, monitor conditions, and keep a record of their catches. Its tools combine interactive maps, fishing forecasts, local rules, catch logs, and community features so that information about a trip can be gathered and saved in one place.
Explore Fishing Locations with Maps
The app provides interactive fishing maps with lake depth charts powered by Garmin Navionics and C-Map. Anglers can look for nearby fishing spots, boat ramps, and other fishing access points. Map filters are available for finding smart fishing spots, while users can mark private locations and save geolocation points for later reference.
Saved locations can help users return to places they have visited before, and the map also shows where other anglers are fishing. The application supports searching for particular fish species and viewing their locations on a map, giving users a way to focus their planning around a desired catch.
Check Conditions and Fishing Forecasts
Fishbrain includes fishing forecasts that identify suggested times to fish. Forecast information covers weather, tides, moon phase, wind speed, and other location-specific conditions. Its BiteTime forecasts use reports from anglers, and seasonal information such as winter ice reports is also available where supplied by the service.
Users can update their location to review forecasts for different areas and check fishing times around the world. These tools bring environmental information together with fishing reports, allowing anglers to consider conditions before choosing when and where to go.
Keep a Detailed Catch Log
The fishing logbook lets users record catches along with bait, lure performance, fishing conditions, and relevant rules for the area. Keeping these details together can help anglers review how equipment and conditions relate to previous catches. The app also provides fish verification to help identify species.
Fishing license information is included for more than 30 states, alongside local regulations and fish rules. This gives anglers a place to review location-specific guidance while organizing information about a trip, although the applicable rules remain tied to the fishing area.
Share Information with Other Anglers
Fishbrain also functions as a fishing community where users can share catches, pictures, videos, and updates. Anglers can discuss lure setups and techniques including trolling, jigging, fly fishing, and bass fishing. The community tools support conversations with people in different locations and provide access to reports and practical observations from other anglers.
By combining community posts with maps, forecasts, and personal records, the app supports several stages of a fishing outing: researching a location, checking conditions, saving a spot, documenting a catch, and exchanging information about methods or equipment.
