FishScope lets you customise forecast tolerances to match your own preferences. Whether you prefer calm mornings offshore or don't mind fishing in stronger winds from the beach, FishScope adapts to the way you fish. Your personalised tolerances are used throughout the app to calculate Conditions Ratings and highlight the best fishing windows.
