BeFish
Catches, spots & fishing pals
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
New: measure your fish with your iPhone, your spot notebook, club contests and what's biting near you. BeFish now speaks Spanish and Italian too.
Photograph every catch, keep track of your spots, check the fishing weather and compare yourself with your friends.
BeFish is the fishing logbook you share. One catch, two photos: the fish and your reaction, taken back to back. Weight, species, depth, even the length measured with your iPhone — everything is logged, and your best catches rise to the top of the leaderboard on their own.
I'M IN THE WATER
Before heading out, set your return time and pick trusted friends. If you don't confirm you're out of the water, they're alerted with your last position. The countdown stays on your Lock Screen, and you confirm you're back in one tap, even from your Apple Watch. BeFish is not an emergency service: at sea in France, call CROSS 196.
FISHING WEATHER
Tap a spot on the map: wind, barometer, tide, swell, water temperature and moon, hour by hour and over ten days, with a bite index that explains every factor. Water visibility is reported by fishers around every spot, and forecast for the next day. Star your spots: the evening before, BeFish lets you know when a good window is coming. No signal offshore? Tide and swell stay on screen.
BITING NEAR YOU RIGHT NOW
What other fishers have caught in your area over the past few days: species and numbers, never a spot or a name.
YOUR FISHING CONDITIONS
Your catches keep the weather and sea state of the spot. Over your outings, your profile sums up the conditions you catch fish in, and what your best catches have in common.
THE SPEARFISHING GUIDE
The rules to know in France: minimum sizes for your area, banned species, quotas and marking, with the official texts. Reserves and no-fishing zones (Cerbère-Banyuls, the Calanques, the Côte Bleue, the Strait of Bonifacio) are drawn on the map, and BeFish warns you if your catch looks undersized, protected or out of season.
YOUR SPOTS STAY YOURS
The location of each catch is visible only to you and your friends. Never public. Your spot notebook keeps your notes on every spot, for you alone. Find your catches and your friends' on the map, and share your live location during an outing.
WITH FRIENDS AND CLUBS
Friend requests, reactions, comments, private and group chats with photos and voice messages. Start your crew's or association's club: a leaderboard, contests, outings everyone can sign up for, and a view of who's still in the water. Your catches are friends-only by default.
LEADERBOARDS, SPECIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
The podium of the biggest catches, by species and period. 83 species to unlock, from common to legendary. 37 achievements, also in Game Center, and widgets for your Home Screen.
YOUR SEASON IN REVIEW
Your best catch, your species, your best month: your season recap is ready to share as a story, like each of your catches.
AT SEA, EVEN OFFLINE
No connection when you post? Your catch, photos included, goes out on its own as soon as you're back online.
From the shore, by boat or spearfishing, in English, French, Spanish and Italian. Weather, tides and the bite index are indications: they don't replace official marine forecasts.
