The fishing information contained in the popular publication Precision Trolling is a troller’s dream come true. Dubbed “the Troller’s Bible” by the tens of thousands of anglers who use this information to target fish at specific depths, Precision Trolling is just what the name implies. Precision Trolling is a method of fishing that allows anglers to accurately predict the running depths of their favorite lures and diving devices! By manipulating lead length anglers can easily “aim” their favorite fishing lures at specific depths, accurately target fish they are seeing on their sonar while avoiding costly snagged lures. Even better, once a productive lead length is determined, it’s easy to duplicate that lure and lead length combination with other lines, putting more lures in the strike zone! The Precision Trolling Data App goes a step further. Once an angler has determined that a particular lure and lead length are effective at catching fish, it’s easy to search for other lures in the list of Precision Trolling App that achieve similar depths. Once a productive depth is determined where fish are biting, it’s a logical step to try different lures at the same depth to determine which lure or lures fish react best to. The new Precision Trolling Data App allows anglers to access a wealth of trolling data. The familiar “Dive Curves” made popular in the Precision Trolling book are now incorporated into easy to use “pickers” or “wheels”. The Data Wheels let you adjust the “feet down” to determine the “feet back”. This is particularly useful if you want to target fish at a certain depth that you are seeing on your sonar unit. The Data Wheel also allows anglers to adjust the “feet back” to determine the “feet down” that the lure will dive. This a fast and effective way of zeroing in on a target depth with any of the lures or diving devices included in the Precision Trolling app. For more information on Precision Trolling and how to become a better troller click here: www.precisiontrollingdata.com Precision Trolling Data LLC owns a patent U.S. Patent No. 7,113,449 entitled “Marine Electronics With Lure Depth Analyzer” issued September 26, 2006 which prevents other companies/individuals from providing lure data on an electronic device.

I didn't want another fishing app. I wanted the one that knows MY water, MY baits, MY fish — so I built it, on the water, with real fish deciding what stayed. Other apps sell millions of crowd catches. A feed never shows the skunk, so crowd data is wins-only — and wins-only data can't teach. Your log holds both: the fish you boated, the ones you lost, the days nothing worked. This app is built to read them. THE BOTTOM, ON THE MAP. Depth contours, soundings, reefs and structure from public survey data — the Great Lakes, every coast, inland lakes and reservoirs state by state — drawn under your own catches. Download a state, and the map for where you're going, and it works with zero signal. DIVE CHARTS, MADE YOURS. Every diver and crank chart in your box, offline. Edit the numbers to how you run them, add your own cranks and in-line weights, keep your go-to charts on your wrist. Your catches land on the rows, and today's depths light up. LOG A FISH IN ONE TAP. Watch or phone — mid-drift, wet hands, zero bars. Or just say it: "Walleye, four pounds, worm harness, twenty-two feet" and it files itself. Log one after, with its time and place. Nothing waits on signal; every tap holds and syncs the moment it can. YOUR PHOTOS ARE YOUR LOG. Scan your camera roll and recover whole seasons you never wrote down, from pictures you already took. DRIFTS AND TROLLS, DONE RIGHT. Plan the drift with your sock or bag — predicted line against what the wind actually did. Set a target troll speed and the watch taps your wrist when you wander off it. Every pass records its track. TRIPS THAT DETECT THEMSELVES. A geofence around your dock: pull away and the trip starts, pull back in and it ends — and your contacts get told when you leave and when you're back. Every catch, drift and troll files under the right trip, and the report says how the day ran against your last three. Each boat gets its own dock. FISH WITH YOUR CREW. Buddy Share: the people you name, a seven-day window, and their trips drawn on your map the way your own are — start, position, catches. Never public, never a feed. INTELLIGENCE YOU EARNED. Forecast areas scored against YOUR catch history. Heat maps weighted by hours fished, so your best water glows. Patterns and anti-patterns from your own log: what's working, and the habit that's costing you fish. Pull up water you've fished and it reminds you what worked there. Play the year back over your catches. A season report with next year's playbook: what to run, where it worked, what to change. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO. Wind, waves at your spot, pressure, water temperature at the surface and at depth, tides, river flow, buoy history — with a plain-language verdict on the day. Radar and satellite. Solunar windows for where you're standing, tapping your wrist when a major opens. Flow, pressure and water-temperature alerts, a morning brief, a note when the lake lays down, NWS warnings the moment they drop. CAPTAINS: YOUR BACK OFFICE. Captain's Mode included. Certs with expiration tracking, your fleet, and trip postcards that draft themselves when you dock, on your own hosted page. ON EVERY SCREEN YOU OWN. iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac — your account keeps them in sync. Widgets, complications for one-tap logging, a Smart Stack card when the bite turns on. GPX import from your plotter. iCloud backup with a month of restore points. Offline-first, because fish don't check for signal. Your data stays yours: encrypted in transit and at rest, backed up to your iCloud, never a feed. The difference between fishing your memory and fishing your data. Built by an angler. Tested by fish.
