The tide tells you when it's worth going out to fish on the Albanian coast — and why.
Each hour of the next seven days gets a score from 0–100. It's not a number that falls from the sky: you open it with a formula and see how much weight the time of day, the moon, the wind, the waves and the pressure had, and along with it the exact window when the fish feed the most.
THE SCORING THAT LEARNS FROM YOU
After about 20 outings recorded in the log, the engine starts comparing the theory with your real history — in which conditions you really caught and in which you returned empty — and the score shifts towards you. No server, no "artificial intelligence": a simple and explainable comparison, which stays entirely on your phone.
FOR WHICH FISH, WITH WHICH TECHNIQUE
20 species of Adriatic and Ionian fish — sea bass, bream, mullet, sardine, mullet, tuna, squid, octopus and others — each with its own band of temperature, wind and windows. The same moment can be 85 for sea bass and 55 for bream. Choose the technique from among 10 (spinning, surfcasting, shore jigging, bottom fishing, jigging, bombard, trolling…) and the tips change with it.
THE DIARY THAT IMPROVES FORECASTING
Record your catch with a few touches: type, quantity, weight, length, bait, depth — and now even a photo of the catch. Each catch stores within itself the conditions of that hour, so the diary is not just a memory: it is the first subject of your score. It comes with statistics, catches per hour, tackle box and the answer to the question "what's wrong with me in conditions like today".
BEFORE YOU LEAVE
• Safety check YOU CAN GO OUT / BE CAREFUL / DO NOT GO OUT, with different limits if you are from the coast, by dinghy or by boat
• Amateur fishing rules — authorization, 5 kg per day, allowed tools, minimum measures according to type
• Notification when the point you chose falls near the Karaburun-Sazan National Marine Park
• Emergency numbers at sea
CONDITIONS, ADAPTED TO THE SEA
The wind is picked up by marine cells, not land-based ones — under the coastal mountains the difference is up to twofold. Including: wave height, period and direction, water temperature, pressure, tides, sea currents, turbid water after rain, moon phase, sunrise and sunset and moonrise.
47 coastal points from Velipoja to Butrint, divided into 7 zones, plus any point you choose on the map.
EVEN WITHOUT INTERNET
The latest conditions are stored on the phone and displayed when there is no signal, with the time when they were received.
OTHER
Albanian, English and Italian. Large text and glove mode for wet hands. Morning notification for the best window of the day. No account, no ads, no tracking — the diary never leaves your phone, and it keeps a backup copy.
Weather and sea data comes from Open-Meteo.
The tide gives predictions, not guarantees — the sea promises nothing. Fishing regulations are informative summaries, not legal texts: check the act in force before you go out.
