What Anglers Are Saying

"BiteSync flagged a 92% score for a random Tuesday afternoon when the pressure dropped. I took a half-day, headed down, and bagged three 20lb carp in three hours. It's not magic, it's just better data."

Dave H. — Coarse Angler

"The rules for Bass and Pollock changed so fast this year I couldn't keep up. Having the 2026 regs right there saved me a massive headache when the EA popped by. Like having a bailiff in your pocket who's actually on your side."

Mark S. — Shore & Boat Angler

"I love sharing my catches, but I've had spots ruined by lurkers looking at background trees in my photos. The Privacy Shield is genius — I can show off a PB without giving away my exact peg. My spots stay my spots."

Chris P. — Specimen Hunter

"I'm not a techy person, but FishingTactix is simple. It works deep in the valley where I have zero signal, and the long-press to hide feature meant I could turn off all the stuff I don't use. First app that feels like a tool, not a toy."

  • One-tap "Load in Simulator" to build it
  • Explains why each rig suits the conditions
  • Works for Coarse, Sea & Fly setups

Long-Press to Customise

Not interested in river levels or sea conditions? Long-press any tile in the app to hide it. Restore from Settings or reset to default layout anytime.

Feedback Fix

The feedback prompt no longer reappears after you've already submitted or dismissed it. Once you've had your say, it stays gone.

Species Leaderboard

See the top 5 heaviest catches per species across the community. Browse species, check rankings, and see who's catching the biggest fish.

Notes Sharing Control

Choose whether to include your private notes when sharing catches to the community feed. Your notes stay private unless you opt in.

Moon Phase Calendar

Full monthly solunar calendar with major and minor feeding windows. Tap any day to see exactly when the fish should be feeding.

Start a timer when you arrive, stop when you leave. Tracks catches per hour automatically so you can see which sessions were most productive.

2026 UK/EU Sea Angling Rules — At a Glance

These are baked into the app so they work even when you're 5 miles offshore with no signal.

Species Status Min Size Bag Limit
Sea Bass Recovering 42cm 3/day
Pollock Newly Regulated 30cm 3/day
Cod Monitored 35cm 5/day
Bluefin Tuna Permit Only N/A C&R Only
Lobster Size Change 88mm 5/day

In EU waters, sensitive species (Bass, Pollock, Bluefin, Cod) must be reported via the official RecFishing app.

Everything You Need on the Bank

Coarse, Sea & Fly — one app that actually understands what anglers need. No bloat, no social-media nonsense. Just useful tools.

The Science

Live data, predictions, and the environmental intelligence that tells you when to go.

Bite Prediction Score

One number that answers "should I go?" — pressure, temp, wind, moon, tides, rivers, and time of day all factored in. Adjusts for your discipline too.

5-Day Bite Forecast

See bite scores for the next 5 days at a glance. Scrollable day cards with pressure trends, moon phases, and a full factor breakdown. The best day to fish is highlighted automatically.

Live Weather & Marine

Temp, pressure, wind, swell, sea temp, river levels — live from 8 data feeds. Plus 10-day pressure and temperature graphs so you can spot the trends.

Solunar Engine

Major and minor feeding windows based on the moon. If you've ever wondered why the fish go mental at certain times — this is why. Feeds straight into the bite score.

Tide Tables

Proper tide data, not a guess. Next high, next low, whether it's making or ebbing, and how long until the turn. Sea anglers — you know why this matters.

Pressure History

Every angler knows a dropping barometer means feeding time. We show you the last 10 days so you can see exactly when the pressure shifted.

The Logbook

Catch logging, privacy, community features, and your personal records.

Smart Session Alerts

The app nudges you when something's worth knowing — pressure dropping fast, a trip coming up, licence running out, line that needs replacing. Basically the fishing mate who never forgets anything.

Catch Logger

Snap a photo, record a voice note, and the app stamps the weather conditions automatically. Syncs across your devices so you never lose a session.

Personal Bests

The app automatically tracks your biggest fish per species. Beat your record and you'll get a satisfying "New PB!" notification. Bragging rights built in.

Catch Heatmap

See where the community is catching on a full-screen map. Filter by species, colour-coded by discipline. Don't worry — everyone's location is protected by Privacy Shield.

Privacy Shield

Three levels: hide it completely, blur it to a 2-mile area, or share the exact pin. Your call, every time. Fuzzy by default.

The Tackle Box

Rigs, regulations, planning tools, species guides, and everything else you need to prepare.

2026 Legal Compliance

The rules changed this year. Log a Bass or Pollock and the app tells you the current bag limit, minimum size, and whether you're in a closed season — right there in the catch logger. No Googling on the boat.

Rig Simulator

Build your rig on screen before you build it on the bank. Drag, drop, and tweak until it looks right.

Tactics Generator

Tell it your target species and venue type, and it'll suggest a game plan based on today's actual conditions. Like having a mate who always knows what to try.

Species Library

25+ species across Coarse, Sea & Fly — growing to 50+. Habitats, best baits, tackle tips, and what conditions they feed in. Great for targeting something new or brushing up before a session.

Venue Manager

Save your waters with GPS pins, offline maps, star ratings, and notes. Track fishery rules, match results, and how the venue's been fishing lately. Your own little black book.

Trip Planner

Pick a date, pick a venue, and the app pulls together the forecast, target species, and tackle suggestions. Smart Alerts reminds you the day before so you don't forget the landing net. Again.

Tackle Shop Finder

Find local tackle shops, check what they've got in stock, grab a deal, or message them to reserve something. Supporting the independents, not the big-box stores.

Line Tracker

How old is the line on your Shimano? Exactly. Track each reel, set a reminder, and never lose a fish to tired mono again.

PRO Profiles

Build your public angler profile. Share match reports, link your socials, and see who's clicking through with a 7-day analytics chart. Your fishing CV, basically.

Better Social Sharing

Share your catches with style. The app generates proper 1080x1350 portrait cards with your photo, weight, species, and a branded watermark. Looks great on Instagram, doesn't give away your spot.

Rod Licence Reminders

Nobody wants a visit from the EA with an expired licence. The app warns you when it's running out and gives you a one-tap link to renew on gov.uk. Sorted.

Close Season Awareness

Planning a river session in April? The app will gently remind you that coarse close season runs Mar 15 – Jun 15. Shows up in the trip form, weather tab, and trip cards. No awkward moments bankside.

Works Offline

No signal at the lake? No problem. The app caches everything locally — maps, data, regulations. Works exactly the same with zero bars.

Cloud Sync

Log a catch on your phone at the lake, review it on your tablet at home. Everything syncs automatically across up to 2 devices — catches, venues, photos, settings. Nothing gets lost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the things anglers ask most.

Is FishingTactix really free to use?
Yes. Weather, bite predictions, species cards, conditions guide, kit checklist, venue browsing, and regulations are completely free. Pro features like marine & solunar data, rig simulator, smart trip planner, catch logging with photos, cloud sync, and community features are available with a 7-day free trial, then a low annual subscription.
Do I need to download anything?
No download needed. FishingTactix is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that runs in your browser. On mobile, tap "Add to Home Screen" and it works just like a native app — with offline support, push notifications, and full-screen mode.
Does it work without phone signal?
Yes. The app caches weather data, regulations, species info, venue maps, and your catch logs locally. You can log catches, check regulations, review your data, and use the rig simulator with zero signal. Data syncs automatically when you're back online.
How does the Bite Prediction Score work?
The bite score combines 10 real-time factors — barometric pressure (trend and absolute), temperature, wind speed, moon phase, solunar feeding windows, tide state, river levels, cloud cover, and time of day. Each factor is weighted differently depending on your discipline (Coarse, Sea, or Fly). The result is a simple 0–100 score with a factor breakdown showing what's helping and what's hurting. New in v5.4: the 5-Day Bite Forecast extends this to show daily scores for the next 5 days, with pressure trends, moon phases, and the best day to fish auto-highlighted.
Will other people see my fishing spots?
Only if you choose to share them. Privacy Shield gives you three levels: Secret Spot (location completely hidden), Fuzzy (blurred to a ~2 mile area), or Exact. The default is Fuzzy. Your private catch logs and venue data are never visible to other users.
What's Founder Pricing?
Early supporters who subscribe before June 2026 get Founder Pricing at £14.99/year — locked in forever, even when the standard price rises to £19.99/year. It's our way of saying thanks for believing in the app early on.
Can I use it for Coarse, Sea, and Fly fishing?
Yes — all three disciplines are fully supported. Choose your discipline during onboarding and the app tailors weather data, bite predictions, species cards, tactics, and regulations to match. You can switch disciplines or enable multiple disciplines at any time in Settings.
How do I delete my account and data?
Go to Settings and tap "Delete My Account." This permanently removes all your data from our servers — profile, catches, photos, venues, messages, everything — within 30 days. You can also export all your data first using the "Export All My Data (GDPR)" button. Alternatively, visit our Delete Account page.
