FISHINGFIX
Your complete guide to fishing techniques, gear, and destinations.
From estimating a fish's weight and predicting the tide to planning around the weather, spooling the right line, logging your catch, and tying the right knot, FishingFix pairs free hands-on fishing calculators with practical guides and a richly illustrated museum. Fish smarter, catch more.
Fishing Calculators & Tools
Free tools for anglers — fish weight calculator, tide predictor, weather fishing planner, fishing line calculator, catch log tracker, bait selector, fishing knot guide, and fishing license checker.
Fish Weight Calculator
Estimate a fish's weight in pounds and kilograms from its length, and refine it with a girth measurement, using proven angler formulas
Tide Predictor
Estimate the next high and low tide and whether the water is rising or falling from one known recent high tide — a planning aid, not official tables
Weather Fishing Planner
Score fishing conditions 0–100 from barometric pressure, wind, sky cover, water temperature, and moon phase, with an Excellent-to-Poor rating
Fishing Line Calculator
Get a recommended pound-test for your target species and estimate how many yards of line your reel spool will hold
Catch Log Tracker
Log the fish from a trip to see total catch, total and average weight, your biggest fish, and a breakdown by species
Bait Selector
Get curated live-bait and lure suggestions plus a presentation tip for your target species in fresh or salt water
Fishing Knot Guide
Browse essential knots filtered by what you need — tie a hook, join two lines, or form a loop — each with its best use, strength, and difficulty
Fishing License Checker
Look up informational license basics for select US states, then verify the current rules with the official state agency before you fish
Game Fish Species Museum
Wander an immersive museum of the world's most prized game fish — freshwater fighters like bass and trout and saltwater giants like tuna and marlin, each in its own gallery, so you can learn the species you chase: how they look, where they live, what they eat, and what it takes to land them.
