About
FishTrack is a comprehensive saltwater fishing platform designed to help offshore anglers find and catch more fish. The app delivers cloud-free Sea Surface Temperature (SST) imagery — one of the most critical indicators for locating pelagic fish — alongside chlorophyll and true color satellite imagery to help anglers find clean blue water and color breaks. Coverage spans most of the world's premier sport-fishing destinations, including the United States, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile, and more. Beyond charts, FishTrack integrates real-time marine weather forecasts covering swell, wind, and conditions up to 7 days out, enabling smarter pre-trip planning. Users can mark and name GPS hotspots, create waypoints and routes, measure distances, and save chart imagery offline for use while navigating offshore without a data connection. Additional overlays include ocean currents, tides, and moon phase data. The platform caters to serious recreational anglers, charter captains, and sport-fishing journalists who rely on accurate environmental data to maximize time on the water. The mobile app (iOS and Android) is the primary interface, supported by a web portal with regional SST chart access. A free tier provides access to basic features, while the Premium subscription unlocks the latest satellite imagery and exclusive data overlays.

Pros
- Global Coverage: Charts cover most of the world's top sport-fishing regions across the Americas, Australia, Europe, Africa, and Asia, making it useful wherever you fish.
- All-in-One Data Platform: Combines SST, chlorophyll, currents, tides, moon phase, and marine weather in a single app, eliminating the need for multiple tools.
- Offline Functionality: Offline chart saving is critical for offshore use where connectivity is unreliable, giving anglers reliable access to their data at sea.
Cons
