The problem

Most fishing trips start with a guess.

Which water? Will they bite today? What works here, and what's even legal right now? The answers are scattered across forums, apps and weather sites — so anglers burn good days on the wrong water.

Shoalmap puts all of it on one screen, scored for today.

One instrument

Four readouts, one clear screen

Shoalmap reads maps, weather and fishing knowledge into a single view — like a sounder for the whole trip.

01

Today's catch odds

A 0–100% score per water from live weather + the water itself. The list sorts by it.

02

Every water near you

Rivers, lakes, canals and sea within 10–100 km — named, ranked, worldwide.

03

Species, methods & baits

What lives there, the methods that work, and exactly what to bait with.

04

Regulations & closed season

Permits, closed seasons and protected fish — flagged live so you fish legally.

Catch odds

The weather, turned into a number

Every search pulls current conditions and scores each water for today— pressure trend, wind, cloud and temperature weighed against the water's own productivity. No more guessing whether it's worth the drive.

Know the rules before you keep one

Closed seasons and protected species change by country, water and date. Shoalmap flags the ones that apply today — an active closed season in amber, a permanent ban in coral — so a good day never turns into a fine.
