What FishMap shows you

Everything you check before a trip, on one screen

Ocean layers, fish habitat, weather and your own fishing data sit on one chart, so you compare them instead of switching between apps.

  • Currents and eddies

    Speed colours and moving particles show where water runs strong, where currents meet and where eddies turn.

  • The same waters coloured by water temperature: the white FSLE band runs along the boundary between colder green and blue water to the north and warmer orange and red water to the south. Three numbered markers, 1 to 3.

    Temperature and fronts

    Sea temperature at the surface and below, and the fronts where warm and cool water meet: the edges fish follow.

  • The same waters in the Zones view: each good area is outlined and filled with one colour for its score, the large zone red and a small one green; a white dashed line runs inside the red zone. Numbered markers 1 to 3.

    Fish habitat, 9 species

    A daily score of how well the water suits each species, from tuna to mackerel and squid.

  • The AI Captain answering where the vessel is and which nearby water suits yellowfin tuna, mackerel and squid, with distance and bearing.

    AI Captain

    Ask about a point, a zone or your saved grounds and get an answer with distances, bearings and the data behind it.

  • FishMap desktop app: sea surface temperature with current particles off southern Vietnam, the layer rail on the left and the ocean panel on the right.

    Live weather

    Radar, satellite, wind, waves and tropical storms on the same chart as your ocean layers.

  • Seabed depth map off southern Vietnam: a wide shallow shelf in red, orange and yellow on the left; in the middle the white depth contours crowd together where the bottom drops into deep blue and purple water; to the south-east, banks rise out of the deep water. Three numbered markers, 1 to 3.

    Ready when the signal drops

    Download the sea data for your trip before you leave. The base map, AIS and your spot book keep working offshore.

Currents

Watch the water move

Included inEvery plan

  • Speed in knots, with flow particles that follow the current
  • 7-day forecast on the timeline
  • Stack it over temperature or sea level to find edges

What to look for

  1. 1. A strong current along the coast: the streaks move fastest here.
  2. 2. Where currents meet: meeting zones like this often gather bait and fish.
  3. 3. An eddy: water circles around a calm centre. Fish often follow its edge.
How to read currents
Animation of currents off south-central Vietnam: a red band along the coast is a strong southward current, white streaks drift with the water and circle in a small eddy to the south. Three numbered markers, 1 to 3.
