You see WHERE the predators hold
Depth maps show edges, plateaus and structure — and for selected target species, zones light up right where your fish holds. No hours of sonar scanning.

How it works ↓
How it feels · 12 m
A day with StrikeAhead.
Before heading out you check the Read for your spot — good window. The map shows you the edge at 6 m. You land one, log it in 10 seconds — and the app learns what works for you. Next time, you know it beforehand.
Depth map · Fishing weather · 18 m
The map.
A depth map, worldwide — built ourselves. In Europe down to 2-metre contours in the angling zone.
Logbook · 24 m
Your catches.
Photo, species — 160 species in 19 languages, with real local names —, weight, depth, lure.
On your wrist · Apple Watch & Wear OS · 30 m
The watch fishes with you.
Start a session, mark a strike, pause — straight from your wrist. On Series 9 and Ultra via Double Tap, without letting go of the rod.
Red light · phone & watch · 36 m
The night is yours.
A bright screen costs your eyes about twenty minutes of dark adaptation. Night mode turns the whole app red like a nautical chart — on iPhone, Android, Apple Watch and Wear OS. It follows the real night at your spot; one tap overrides it.
Challenges + leaderboards · 42 m
The Arena.
Challenges and global leaderboards. Only verified catches count — that is why the ranking means something.
Five things the app takes off your hands.
You know IF it is worth heading out
A single Read for your spot — live and 7 days ahead. Head out when it counts, not on a hunch.
The app gets sharper with every catch
One photo is enough — species, location, weather and depth are recognized. The Read learns your pattern, not the average.
Your bite window on your wrist
Start a session, trigger a catch from the watch, check your bite window & Storm Alert — on Apple Watch and Wear OS. Both hands stay free.
Snap it — don't look it up
Photograph your catch — the app recognises the species automatically and suggests it: 160 species with real local names in 19 languages. You confirm, done.
