Castwise in one sentence
Castwise is a UK sea fishing app that uses a deterministic recommendation engine to interpret mark-specific tide, weather, wind, swell, terrain, season, species and safety context, helping shore anglers decide where to fish, when to go and what to target.
Short product description
Other fishing apps give anglers the data. Castwise tells them what to do with it. The UK-wide app ranks public and private shore-fishing marks for a selected time and target species, explains the conditions behind each recommendation, includes safety context, and connects logged catches and blanks to future personal planning. Recommendations are guidance, not catch guarantees.
