Must Have Fishing Apps For Your Phone (What The Pros Use)

http://fishing%20apps

Want to know what fishing apps our fishing coaches use on a weekly basis?

It might surprise you but the best anglers keep it really simple when it comes to fishing apps.

From a 30,000 foot view, the main things you really need as a saltwater angler are weather, radar, tides, current flow, wind direction, satellite maps, and of course, an amazing online community of anglers.

In reality, you don’t need individual apps for each of these benefits above.

So listen in as we share our must-have fishing apps.

Check it out below!

I’ve been in the roofing industry for 30+ yrs in Florida, So I rely on My Radar. While watching this vid I was prompted that “rain starting in 20 minutes, lasting 2 hours”. Not roofing today! It’s accurate and free. Of course I use My Radar while kayak fishing the 3 bridges area of Port Orange, as well as the east coast.

Thanks guys. I have been saving this video until I rebooted my phone. I had way too many fishing apps and others and wanted a fresh start. More important is that I wanted to keep it “SIMPLE.” Anywho…I finally did the reboot and watched the video. I will give all of the apps a look see, but feel in the end I really can narrow it down to the Smart Fishing Tides app and a couple of others.

Another good weather, wind & waves program is Ventusky. It uses several weather models to provide world wide coverage and comes as a website (i.e., ventusky.com) and an app for the iPhone and iPad on the Apple App store. At least for the US mid-Atlantic region I’ve found it much more accurate than either the Weather Channel or Accuweather.

Windfinder app is free and one of the most accurate by the hour. I use it for pre-planning to see what direction the wind is blowing.

I use HuntStand and FarWide for private property information, both are similar to OnX. FarWide is still free (I believe) and is nationwide. HuntStand is a yearly subscription and it too is nationwide.

I like MyRadar for my phone to see storm activity. Seems to load faster and easier than other weather apps while on the water. I also like Windy for a good real time look at winds. Still looking for a tidal app I like. Not a fan of Tides Near Me. Too much work to find info where I am at a given moment.
