Fishing forecast, tides, and local
knowledge for the Florida and
Gulf coast.
NativeGuide is what usually takes years on the water to learn — a
fishing forecast that tells you if it's worth going, plus the reefs, tides, wind, species regs, boat
ramps, and marinas that shape the
trip. No ads. No account required.
Built by someone who runs these waters.
▸ WHAT'S INSIDE
• Fishing reefs and structure —
4,300+ reefs, wrecks, ledges, and artificial structures. Filter by depth, county, or type. Every spot has coordinates, depth, and distance from shore.
• Interactive map — see every spot with your GPS position. Switch
between street, satellite, ocean, and nautical chart overlays. Plan
your run before you leave the
dock.
• Fishing forecast — a 7-day view of whether the water's fishable,
driven by real NOAA wind, wave, and weather data. Not a magic
bite-time prediction — the honest
go/no-go call captains actually
make.
• Tides and weather — real-time
tides, wind, water temperature, wave height, and offshore
conditions straight from NOAA. Hourly forecasts so you know
what's coming before you commit fuel.
• Species and seasons — what's in
season, size limits, and bag limits for your region. Updated
regulations so you stay legal.
AI fish ID (Pro, beta) — snap
a photo of your catch for a
species best-guess plus size and
bag limits for your region.
Beta release; accuracy improving.
• GPX export (Pro) — export reef
coordinates to your Garmin,
Simrad, Lowrance, Humminbird, or
any chartplotter that reads GPX.

you.

snowbirds, and visitors. Whether you've fished these waters for
twenty years or you're chartering for a week, NativeGuide helps you
fish like a local.
▸ HOW ANGLERS USE IT
• Trip planning the night before —
check tides, wind, wave heights, and pick a reef that matches the
conditions.
• On the ramp — copy coordinates straight into your chartplotter,
or export a GPX file of every spot in the region.
• Offshore — pull up the map with your position to double-check you're on the right numbers before you drop.
• After the trip — snap a photo of an unfamiliar catch and get an instant ID plus size and bag limit for your region.
• Charter research — first-timers use it to learn a coast before
booking a guide.
