Features
Everything FishFactor does, in detail
A complete fishing companion: log catches with almost no typing, learn from the community's data, stay legal, and find people to fish with.
Catch log
Log a catch in seconds
Snap a photo and FishFactor fills in the rest. Photo analysis suggests the species and estimates length and weight, while GPS, time of day, water temperature, wind, pressure and the solunar window are captured automatically from your phone.
- Take a photo or pick one from your library — EXIF time and location are read automatically
- Length/weight calculator with imperial or metric units
- Drop an exact pin on the map later if you log the catch after the trip
- Choose community visibility per catch: exact spot, general area, or private
Hotspot map
See where fish are actually being caught
An interactive map of lakes and rivers across the U.S. with hotspots built from real angler activity. Tap any hotspot to see the three species and three lures producing the most logged catches there.
- Nationwide water body catalog, scoped to your home state by default
- Add a missing lake or river and it becomes searchable for everyone in your state
- Starter hotspots on popular waters so the map is useful from day one
Bite forecast
Morning and evening bite scores
A 0–100 score for each fishing window at your chosen spot, combining live weather, barometric trend, and moon phase with solunar major and minor periods — so you know whether dawn or dusk is worth the drive.
- Separate morning and evening windows
- Pressure trend, wind, cloud cover and temperature factored in
- Solunar major/minor periods for the exact coordinates you pick
Species intelligence
Patterns from thousands of real catches
Every species page is driven by angler data rather than a generic top-ten list: best months, best times of day, and the lures that are converting right now in your region.
- Illustrated species guide with quick identification info
- Best months and time-of-day breakdown per species
- Top producing lures and baits, ranked by logged catches
Regulations
Slot and bag limits for all 50 states
Check size and possession limits for popular species in your state before you keep a fish, with a link to the official agency source. Store your fishing license in the app and get reminded before it expires.
- State-by-state slot and bag limits
- Direct links to the official DNR or wildlife agency page
- Private license storage with expiry reminders
Community
Anglers near you, not strangers online
A photo-first feed of catches from your state. Like and comment on catches, follow anglers you want to learn from, and see meetups posted nearby.
- State-scoped feed with a nationwide toggle
- Likes and comments, with total likes shown on your profile
- Follow anglers and compare on a leaderboard limited to people you follow
- Reporting and blocking to keep the feed clean
Meetups & messages
Organize a day on the water
Post a meetup with a water body, date, photo and how many anglers can join. Nearby anglers see it in their feed, join with one tap, and message the host directly — no phone numbers or emails exposed.
- Attendee list with join and leave
- Private 1:1 messaging with realtime delivery
- Hosts can cancel; attendees see it removed automatically
Trips & gear
Your tackle box and trip history
Group catches into trips, track the rods, reels, lines and baits you own, and record which gear produced each fish so you can see what's actually working.
- Trip log with water body, conditions and catches
- Gear inventory linked to individual catches
- Illustrated knot guide next to your gear

Personal stats summarize your season: total catches, personal bests by species, most productive waters, and the lures that put the most fish in the boat.
- Personal bests by species and length/weight
- Most productive waters and lures
- Leaderboard among anglers you follow
Reports
Reports that tell you what to target, and when
A deep-dive report built from your own catch log: best waters, best months, best species, top baits and top gear — plus a species-by-month heat grid showing exactly which fish are biting in which month.
- Species by month heat grid with a 'best in' summary per species
- Best waters, best months and best species ranked by catch count
- Top producing baits/lures and the gear that landed them
