Should I Fish? answers one question for saltwater anglers on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts from Virginia to Florida: is it a good time to fish right now?
Every hour gets a fishability score from 0 to 100, built from tide movement, solunar periods, barometric pressure trend, light, and wind. You get a verdict (GO, MAYBE, SKIP), the best bite window of the day, and a tide curve colored by how good the fishing should be, with a NOW marker so you always know where you stand.

DATA
Tide predictions come from NOAA CO-OPS. Weather comes from Open-Meteo. Sun and moon positions are computed on your phone. Town tide times are estimated offsets from the nearest NOAA station. Coverage runs from the Chesapeake Bay to the Florida Keys and the Gulf coast; the app tells you if you're outside it.
PRIVACY
No account, no sign-up. Your location is used on your phone to find the nearest covered town and is never sent to us. Saved spots, saved days, and your catch log stay on your device. Full policy: https://www.shouldifish.app/privacy
The score is a model, not a promise. Check official marine forecasts before you launch.
