Been lurking for awhile here (just waiting for the fluke bite to finally pick up this season), but a coworker convinced me to share a project I’ve been working on so I'm giving it a go. This is a 100% free, open-source fishing app I built a few months ago because I got tired of paywalled ones.

I designed it for saltwater surf fishing, but it should work just as well for freshwater.

• Direct Link: https://krumenja.com/currentcast/ (You can run it directly in your browser or install it as an app from the browser. Android users can also download it directly via the GitHub/Android button).

More Info:

There are no sign-ups, no ads, and no paywalls. All your data is saved completely locally to your device. It's free and open source so you can do with it what you will - change it, make improvements, make sure it's safe, whatever. I've been using it for about 2 months to figure out if I'm going to fish on the weekends and it hasn't let me down yet.

Here is exactly what’s included:

Map

• Satellite imagery that switches to road overlay when you zoom in
• Search any address, city, ZIP, or coordinates
• Tap the map to pin any location and get a full forecast
• GPS button to center on your current position
• Save unlimited named fishing spots - star one as your default and it loads automatically when you open the app
• Fish catch log: tap the 🐟 button to record a catch at any map location, with optional weather snapshot

Forecast tab

• 10-day weather forecast with hourly breakdown - tap any day
• Severe weather alerts from NOAA - red banner for warnings, yellow for watches, with full details on tap
• Sea surface temperature - real ocean water temp, not air temp
• Tide chart - NOAA hourly line graph + 7-day hi/lo table with exact times
• Solunar periods - major and minor feeding windows overlaid on the fishing score
• Lunar phase - 7-day moon strip with today's phase and cycle progress
• Sunrise & Sunset - with daylight hours for each day
• Wind speed, cloud cover, and barometric pressure - hourly graphs
• Fishing Score - Hourly 0-100 score from 9 factors: lunar phase, solunar periods, tide direction, baro trend, wind, water temp, and more.

I am not capturing emails or any personal information. Your data stays on your device. However, I use Google Analytics on the site and a basic API monitoring tool that sends me a report if the backend crashes so I can fix it. Nothing sketchy, but I want to be transparent.

I’m looking to maintain and improve this when possible, so check it out and let me know your thoughts, if you have questions, or if you end up using it.

(And mods, if I missed a self-promo rule here, just let me know. I'm not getting anything from this; I really just wanted to share something I thought would be useful.)
