weather, every search
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.

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.

The forecastPro+
Plan the week, not just today
Pro reads you today’s outlook with live river levels; Pro+ stretches it to a 14-day forecast that scores every day ahead and marks the standouts, so you book the right day off. On rivers it tracks the real water level — discharge and its trend; on the coast, daily wave height and period.
- Best-day picks across the fortnight
- River discharge & trend (GloFAS)
- Sea state for saltwater spots
Best times
Fish the bite windows
Fish feed hardest around the moon’s transit and rise — the solunar major and minor windows. Shoalmap computes them for each water and shows today’s lunar phase, so you cast when it counts.

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. Pro+ even alerts you before a closed season opens.

Catch logPro+
Log it. Learn from it.
Snap a photo and Shoalmap names the species and estimates the size. Every catch saves the exact conditions — pressure, moon and wind — so your own log reveals the patterns that put fish on your line. Your catches and the community’s show up as a map layer, and anonymised “caught here” totals reveal what the shoal is landing on each water.
- Photo species ID & size estimate
- Conditions saved with every catch
