What's Bitin' app splash screen
The bite window

The whole app in one strip.

Every fish gets a twelve-month rating for your region — shore and offshore. Tap a month, flip the mode, and watch the season change. Try it below with a couple of stand-in fish.

These are stand-in fish, just to show how it works. Inside: 105 real species — fish, crabs and lobsters — across all 10 U.S. regions, each with baits, gear and best times.

Everything on board

Things you need,
nothing you don't.

What's biting now

Your region, your month, best fish first — with a trend arrow showing whether the bite is building or fading into next month.

Shore & offshore

Two distinct calendars per species. Fishing the beach and running the canyons are different seasons — the app keeps them separate.

Live map

A pin on every region, colored by the best bite available right now. Tap the water to see what's on — and switch shore or offshore in place.

Tides, built in

Today's highs and lows for your local NOAA station, right on the biting screen — plus whether the water's rising or falling and when it turns. Honest predictions, saved for offline use.

Your catch log — new in 1.5

Keep a private record of every catch — species, date, size down to the ounce, and notes. Add a photo from your library or snap one with the camera, and tap “Use My Location” to pin the exact spot — then open it later in Apple Maps. Sort by date, species, weight, or length, and share a catch by text or email whenever you want. It all stays on your device: no account, nothing uploaded.

Every species, searchable

105 species — 93 gamefish plus crabs and lobsters — with scientific names, family, twelve-month strips, and run-timing notes — the tautog wrecks, the Delaware Bay striper run, the canyon yellowfin. Search by name or family, scoped to your region or all U.S. waters.

Bait & timing, dialed by mode

Every fish carries its best baits — split for shore and offshore — plus the times it feeds: dawn, dusk, night, or a moving tide. Fishing the beach? You see beach baits. Running offshore? You see the trolling spread. It's the same shore-vs-offshore smarts as the seasonality, and no other app ties bait to how you're fishing this cleanly.

Works with no signal

Everything ships inside the app. No account, no login, and no bars needed twenty miles out. It just opens.

One price. Yours for good.

$4.99, paid once. No ads pushing charter deals, no subscription that lapses mid-season, no tracking your trips to sell to anyone. You buy the app, you own the app — every update included.

Coast to coast to territory

Ten regions.
Every U.S. coast.

From Maine stripers to Kona blues, Gulf reds to Hawaiian ahi — the whole U.S. saltwater map, including the places most apps forget.

Where to gear up

Bait & tackle shops,
on every U.S. coast.

A growing directory of local bait & tackle shops — 347 and counting, across 26 coastal states and territories. Find one near you, tap to call or get directions, and save your favorites. Right alongside the seasonal outlooks.

Straight with you: this tells you when, not what's biting this minute.

No app has a live feed of every catch on every coast — so we don't pretend to. What's Bitin' shows typical run timing built from public fisheries data and hard-won angler knowledge. It's the planner you check the night before, not a fish finder. And it never replaces your state's regulations — always confirm seasons and limits before you keep a fish.
