What does Fisho do?
Fisho helps you plan your next fishing session with more confidence. It checks the forecast against your own wind and swell limits, sends a weekly fishing report for the water you fish, maps that water with depth charts and weather layers (Pro), and keeps your logbook of catches. There is a community of anglers and competitions too, but planning your next session comes first.
How does the weekly fishing report work?
Set one up from the Reports tile on Home: choose the water, the day and the time it should arrive. Your first report is put together shortly after you set it up, and from then on each one lands in Reports on that schedule, with a notification when it arrives. It covers the wind, swell and tides for the days ahead and the calmest window, and a fishing report adds what other anglers have been catching nearby. Open Reports to change the day or time, pause it, or delete it. Free accounts run one weekly report covering up to three waters; Pro runs up to ten, as often as every day.
How do I read the forecast and my limits?
Tap the Weather tile on Home. The top of the forecast tells you whether the coming hours sit inside your limits for the way you fish — for example, wind building to 18 knots when your limit is 15 — and the chart shows the hours ahead against those limits. You set your wind and swell limits when you first set up Fisho and can change them any time in your Game Plan preferences. A forecast is still a forecast: check the conditions for yourself before you head out.
What's on the map, and what's free or Pro?
Everyone can open the map and move around the water they fish. Pro adds the layers: depth charts with contours, depth shading and a 3D view where charts are published for your region; weather overlays such as wind, swell and current where available; Fishing Intel heatmaps for likely species zones; and saved presets and watches that alert you when a spot's conditions line up.
How do I log a catch or import catches from my photos?
Tap the + button in the tab bar and choose Add full catch log, or Add live catch log to log as you go. Add a photo, the species, the size and where you caught it — Fisho can identify the species from the photo, and with Pro the weather and tide at the time of your catch are filled in for you. To bring in older catches, choose Add catches from photos: pick up to 50 photos from your camera roll and Fisho reads the date and place from each one, works out the species and fills in that day's conditions. You review every catch before it saves, and imported catches are private to you.
How do I save a trip?
Tap Save trip on any of the best times in your weekly report, or ask Fisho AI to plan one for you. Fisho watches the forecast for that window, checks in the night before and follows up after you fish. Saving trips is part of Pro; any trip you have already saved stays yours to change.
What can Fisho AI do?
Ask Fisho anything about your fishing: the weather, tides and swell for your water, what to target near you, the best day to fish this week, your own catch history and personal bests, or what the fish in your photo is. It can also plan a session, set a reminder or watch a spot for you. Free accounts get a daily allowance of messages, and some tools — such as planning a session or watching a spot — are Pro. Fisho AI can make mistakes: always verify the conditions, your safety and the fishing regulations for your area before you go.
What do I get with Pro, and how does the free trial work?
Pro adds the map layers (depth charts, weather overlays and Fishing Intel heatmaps), unlimited Fisho AI, up to ten reports as often as every day, planned sessions with check-ins, watches and reminders, forecasts from more than one weather model to compare, conditions filled in on your catches, exact locations on community catches, and no ads. If a free trial is offered to your account, its length and the price afterwards are shown before you start, and nothing is charged until the trial ends. Your subscription renews automatically; manage or cancel it any time in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Cancel before the trial ends and you will not be charged.
Is there a community, and how do competitions work?
Yes. Community on Home has the catch feed and groups, and you can follow and message other anglers. Compete has competitions you can enter with your catch logs, with leaderboards to climb. Free accounts can join a limited number of competitions; Pro lifts that limit.
How do I delete my data?
On your Profile, open Settings, then Legal Center, and choose Delete Account. This requests permanent deletion of your account and all your stored data. Please note that this action cannot be undone.
