Read full description

FishLogAI is the first smart fishing tracker built specifically for New England lobster fishermen. Powered by patent-pending AI technology, it combines moon phases, tidal data, and your own catch history to predict the best days and spots to fish. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED — FishLogAI is a subscription app. New users get a 7-day free trial, then full access requires a FishLogAI Pro subscription. See subscription details at the bottom of this description. TRACK HAULS ON REAL NOAA CHARTS Plot every haul on official NOAA nautical charts. Enter coordinates using GPS (latitude/longitude) or traditional Loran TD values — FishLogAI converts them automatically. See your catches color-coded by performance right on the chart, with catch clusters that show you exactly where the keepers are. LOG DETAILED CATCH DATA Record keepers per trap, number of traps hauled, depth, bottom type, bait used, and notes for every haul. Your data builds over time into a powerful fishing history that reveals patterns you can't see from memory alone. AI-POWERED PREDICTIONS (PATENT PENDING) FishLogAI's prediction engine analyzes your historical catch data alongside moon phases and tide conditions to recommend the best spots and days to fish. The AI considers: • Moon phase scoring (new moon through full moon) • Tidal range and spring/neap cycle correlation • Your personal catch-per-trap averages by location • Seasonal migration patterns and depth preferences 7-DAY FISHING FORECAST Plan your week with a daily fishing score from 0 to 100. Each day shows the moon phase, predicted tide range, and an overall rating from Poor to Excellent — so you know which days are worth heading out. TIDE & MOON TRACKING Real-time Portland Harbor tide data with high/low times and heights. Moon phase calendar shows the full lunar cycle at a glance. See how your catches correlate with spring tides versus neap tides over time. DETAILED ANALYTICS • Keepers per trap averages by month, season, and year • Top 5 fishing spots ranked by performance • Tide and catch correlation analysis • Seasonal filters (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter) • Sort and filter your entire haul history DATA BACKUP Export all your haul records to CSV with one tap. Includes date, coordinates, depth, bottom type, bait, trap count, catch totals, and notes. Email it to yourself or save to Files for safekeeping. BUILT FOR LOBSTER FISHERMEN FishLogAI was designed by fishermen, for fishermen. No complicated setup. No cloud accounts required. Your data stays on your device. Just log your hauls and let the AI do the rest. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS FishLogAI Pro is an auto-renewing annual subscription that gives you full access to all app features.
