Fish Map
Fish Fathom
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Fish Fathom helps saltwater anglers and captains plan smarter trips, find productive water faster, and repeat patterns that work. Check marine weather, study HD relief shading and bottom hardness, review commercial fishing track history, and save routes, waypoints, and catches in one place.
PLAN THE DAY
- Check marine forecasts, buoy conditions, swell, sea surface temperature, and weather charts before you leave the dock
- Use Captain Brad AI for trip-planning help and natural-language searches across fishing spots and NOAA waypoints
FIND BETTER WATER
- Explore HD bathymetry, relief shading, bottom hardness, and species layers including Red Snapper and Red Grouper maps
- Review commercial fishing track history, traffic footprints, and inferred activity to spot repeat fishing patterns
- Save promising areas as waypoints or turn vessel tracks into routes
BUILD YOUR OWN SYSTEM
- Log catches with photos and automatic weather context so you can learn which conditions produce fish for you
- Organize overlays, catch logs, and waypoints with map layer controls
- Download supported map packages for offshore use when service drops
