You've probably heard the phrase "Timing is everything", and those words are especially true for fishing. It's not enough to know where the fish are. If you want to catch them, you have to know when they're going to be biting. 

Everyone knows there are certain times of the day or night that fish are more active; and until now, most people have relied on pure luck to get their line in the water during those times. Of course there have always been dedicated anglers who don't believe in luck. They spend hours before a fishing trip checking weather conditions, studying moon phase charts and performing complicated conversions for sun and moon positions, geographical location, time zone changes and other variables. Sound like a lot of work? It doesn't have to be.

No matter which of these two groups you fall into, Best Fishing Times was designed for you! This app takes luck out of the equation, and eliminates the need for math and charts. Just pick your fishing location and the date you want to fish, and get all the information you could ever want before you even leave home. Whether you're planning for next week or next year, Best Fishing Times will get you to the water at the right time of day to catch your limit.

With a few taps of your finger, you'll see the best day of any week to go fishing, and the times of day the fish will be most active. If you prefer to check the data yourself, Best Fishing Times puts all of the information right at your fingertips, including moon phase, moon rise and moon set, major and minor activity periods for any day, and even includes a graphical sun and moon simulator!

You wouldn't go to the ball park without knowing whether or not there's a game scheduled, so why would you go fishing without knowing when the fish are biting? Download Best Fishing Times now and stop casting blindly. You'll spend less time fishing and more time catching.

### 2/5 — Just ok.

*2020-10-13*

Nothing really great about this app, in fact the +\- fishing time is more confusing than helpful, other apps have a better way of showing you when the time actually is. A better example wound be a 24 hour wheel. So, this app is just okay, free ones will show the same thing.

### 3/5 — No Longer Has the Photo Album

*2020-06-13*

When I first added this app, it had a place to store photos of your catch. It's gone now, and so are all my photos. It's so sad because I didn't back them up to my device. Memories gone, but not forgotten.

### 5/5 — Just What I need

### 5/5 — Good fishing app

*2014-04-17*

I like it. I don't always get to fish when it says the fishing is best, but I have noticed that I catch more fish on the days it shows more fish on the app. No complaints. I don't think you'll be disappointed with this one.

### 5/5 — Best Fishing Times

*2014-04-17*

I downloaded several of the Fishing/Hunting time apps before loading and trying this one. It's much easier to understand and use and therefore will be using it. The others will likely ne era$$$$ed. What a waste some of those apps are. This is nicely done. All one needs to have a fun fishing day with the grand kids.
