About Start Fishing

Start Fishing is the fishing coach beginner shore anglers actually need. No boat, no jargon. Save the water you fish, and get a grounded call on what to throw, how to rig it, and where to cast. THE BITE CARD A live read for your exact fishing spot: a bite score, what the fish are doing right now, today's top targets, and the next prime window. Built from real conditions (weather, water temperature, river flow, tides, and moon) for the water you're actually standing next to. YOUR FISHING SPOTS Save the bank, pier, or beach you fish. Lakes, ponds, rivers, and the surf all work. PHOTO ID Snap a photo of your catch and the app identifies the species and logs it. Snap your tackle and it builds your gear list. RIGS FOR YOUR GEAR Step-by-step rig setups matched to what's already in your tackle box, not a catalog of stuff to buy. THE CATCH LOG Log catches and skunks in seconds. Your fishing spots learn what actually works: best baits, best windows, your patterns. Your first week is free, no card needed. After that, Start Fishing Pro is $1.99/month or $9.99/year through your App Store account; cancel anytime in Settings. Without Pro, everything you saved stays viewable. Always check your state's fishing regulations and license requirements before you keep a fish. Privacy: https://startfishing.app/privacy Terms: https://startfishing.app/terms
