Fishing forecast offline: FishCast for real water conditions
Cell service dies where the fishing gets good. FishCast caches weather and solunar data on your phone so you still get bite windows, pressure trends, and wind — offline.
Key takeaways
FishCast is an offline-first fishing forecast app from Knox Studios.
It caches weather and solunar data so forecasts work in dead zones.
On-device solunar computing shows major and minor bite windows.
Premium adds NOAA coastal tides and bite-window reminders.
The app now includes a mood fill meter, bait and lure pictures, target species, and a catch log.
Built for the water, not the city
Generic weather apps fail the moment you lose signal. FishCast is a fishing forecast app with an offline-first cache and on-device solunar computing so anglers still see bite-ready conditions offshore or in a canyon.

Solunar bite windows — major and minor feeding times from moon and sun phases.
Barometric pressure & wind — rising, falling, or steady trends at a glance.

Fish intel and a catch log — mood fill meter, approach and retrieve dials, bait and lure pictures, per-spot target fish, and pins of what worked.
