Stop guessing when to go. A fishing forecast tells you how active fish are likely to be — and the best fishing times today — by reading the tide, the moon, and the weather together. Fish & Tides turns all of it into one simple 0–100 score for any spot in the world.
Fish don't bite at random. A fish activity forecast reads every signal that drives feeding and combines them into a single 0–100 score for any hour or day.
Moving water — flood or ebb — is the strongest driver of the bite. Slack water usually slows things down.
Major and minor feeding windows tied to the moon's position and phase shift fish activity through the day.
A falling barometer often turns fish on; wind, fronts, and water temperature change where they hold.
Daily scores, solunar periods, and moon phases let you pick the best day before you ever leave home.
Three steps from "should I go?" to "I'm on the water at the right hour."

A fishing forecast — sometimes called a fish activity forecast — predicts how likely fish are to feed at a given time and place. Fish don't bite at random: their activity rises and falls with the tide, the moon's solunar periods, light levels, barometric pressure, and water temperature. A good forecast reads all of those signals at once and tells you, in plain terms, when it's worth being on the water.
Wondering about fishing timing today? Open the app on your spot and the hourly score shows the best fishing times at a glance — typically when a moving tide overlaps a solunar period and low-light hours around dawn or dusk. The best hours are shaded green right on the chart, so you can plan your trip in seconds.
The fishing chart puts it all in one view. The tide curve shows the water rising and falling through the day; a second line shows how fast the water is actually moving, color-coded by direction — white for flood (incoming), yellow for ebb (outgoing), and red for slack (the still pause between phases). A separate weather chart lets you switch between wind, pressure, air temperature, and water temperature hour by hour. Swipe left and right to scrub through the next several days — your fishing chart today and for the week ahead. Tides come from NOAA, UKHO, and BOM, plus a global tide model for the rest of the world.

A fishing forecast predicts how active fish are likely to be at a given time and place. Fish & Tides combines tide phase and current, solunar periods, moon phase, barometric pressure, wind, water temperature, and time of day into a single 0–100 fish-activity score.
Usually when several factors line up — a moving tide (flood or ebb), a solunar major or minor period, and low-light hours around dawn and dusk. Fish & Tides marks the best hours for your exact spot today and shades them green on the chart.
It shows the tide rising and falling, a current line color-coded by direction (white flood, yellow ebb, red slack), and the best fishing hours shaded green. A separate weather chart shows wind, pressure, and air and water temperature hour by hour. Swipe to scrub through the next several days.
