Reviewed by Apps Playground Editorial Team · Updated

You're planning a fishing trip and want to check depth contours and recent catches from your desk before you leave. Fishidy: Fishing Hot Spot Maps, Reports & Tips brings fishing maps and waterway reports for desktop use, where you can compare multiple spots side-by-side and download offline maps for remote locations. The app taps into a database built by Fishing Hot Spots®, a name trusted in the industry for decades, and connects you with reports from anglers fishing nearby waters.
Running Fishidy: Fishing Hot Spot Maps, Reports & Tips on PC lets you sit at a full-screen map while keeping email or a spreadsheet open in another window. You can sign in once on your desktop and stay logged in across sessions, pulling up your saved spots and catch logs whenever you plan a trip or review past success patterns. The app's core features (depth contour maps, fishing reports, and local angler connections) become more navigable with keyboard and mouse input than on a phone.
What Maps and Information Fishidy Provides
As a local fishing map platform, Fishidy: Fishing Hot Spot Maps, Reports & Tips covers freshwater lakes, saltwater coastlines, and the Great Lakes with depth contour maps that show structure, hazard markers, and navigational buoys. The app includes information on marinas, boat ramps, and public access points, as well as fishery details, shoreline conditions, and stocking schedules for your target waterways. You can see publicly shared catches and which baits were working in specific locations, building a picture of what's happening on the water without having to be there.
Logging Catches and Tracking Patterns
You can record your own catches and spots within the app, keeping notes 100% private or sharing them with the local fishing community. The app automatically logs weather conditions when you save a catch, helping you spot patterns over time. On a computer, reviewing your catch history and comparing it against waterway reports becomes straightforward: you're not squinting at small text or struggling with touch input when you want to analyze multiple sessions side-by-side.
Fishing Reports and Community Alerts
Fishidy: Fishing Hot Spot Maps, Reports & Tips works as a real-time fishing forecast tool through customizable activity alerts for specific waterways, letting you know when fish are active. You can follow local anglers nearby and read shared advice and photos from people fishing the same lakes or coastlines you're interested in. When you receive an alert on your computer, you can immediately pull up the relevant map or catch report without reaching for your phone.
Offline Maps and Premium Access
A free version of the app gives you access to public spots and community reports. A paid subscription unlocks Fishing Hot Spots® coordinates, expert-verified tips and lure presentations, detailed mapping of structure and vegetation, and identified fish habitat like reefs and rock piles. The premium tier also lets you download maps for offline use: useful when you're heading to a remote location without reliable cell service. On your computer, you can prepare and download these maps before a trip, ensuring you have everything you need before heading to the water.
