How It Works

CatchMaster is a prediction tool usable both at the angler's current location and at any saved or searched fishing spot. You manually select the water type — saltwater, freshwater, or brackish. CatchMaster then returns a list of fish species likely to be encountered at that location, in the current season, at the current time of day, each with an estimated encounter percentage.

Steps

  1. Choose your location

    Use your current GPS position or select any saved or searched fishing spot.

  2. Select water type

    Manually choose saltwater, freshwater, or brackish.

  3. View predicted species

    Review the list of species likely to be encountered at that location, in the current season and time of day, each with an estimated encounter percentage.

CatchMaster vs. AI Fish ID

CatchMaster and AI Fish ID solve different problems. CatchMaster predicts what you might catch there, before you cast a line. AI Fish ID identifies what you already caught, from a photo of the fish in hand.

Not a guarantee

CatchMaster's encounter percentages are a probability and likelihood estimate, not a guaranteed catch outcome.
