App Features

This visual guidance helps you pinpoint productive locations, saving time on the water and increasing your chances of a successful catch.
• Digital Regulations & Licensing: Instantly access the latest Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) rules, including size and creel limits, seasonal closures, and conservation easements, all searchable by species or activity. This feature ensures users stay compliant on the go, avoiding potential fines and contributing to responsible wildlife management.

This helps build a lasting record of your adventures while fostering a deeper connection to the ecosystem.
• Interactive Weather & Tides: Plan your outing with accurate, localized weather forecasts including temperature, wind speed/direction, and precipitation, alongside precise tide charts for inshore fishing. Many users rely on these predictions to optimize their timing, knowing the best moments for surfcasting or fly fishing based on incoming tides.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use Fish|Hunt FL without an internet connection?
A: Yes, you can download maps and view core regulations offline using the app’s built-in caching function. However, real-time weather updates, community posts, and map refresh data require a stable internet or cellular connection.

Q: What’s the process for reporting caught fish or tagged game in Fish|Hunt FL?
A: Navigate to the ‘Catch Log’ section, select the species, input the date and location (using GPS or manual tagging), and optionally record measurements or photos. Some regulated species allow official reporting through this system, contributing valuable data to conservation efforts.

Q: Are there plans to add marine/fishing vessel tracking similar to the hunting GPS points?
A: This is a frequently requested feature, and the developers are actively exploring its feasibility. Currently, the map interface allows marking points of interest but doesn’t function as a dedicated vessel tracking system like dedicated marine apps.

Q: How often is the regulatory information updated?
A: The core regulation database within Fish|Hunt FL receives updates typically before major FWC rule changes, but for the absolute latest amendments during active seasons, we recommend checking official FWC.gov websites or state-specific notices alongside the app.

Q: Can Fish|Hunt FL help plan multi-day camping trips involving both fishing and hunting seasons?
A: While the app excels at daily planning, its multi-day trip features are somewhat limited. It can help mark waypoints for campsites but doesn’t automatically integrate sequential hunting and fishing dates across several days unless users manually track the changing regulations themselves.
