Select Your Location

After you create and confirm your FishAngler account, you will be asked to select your fishing region. 

  • Tap select, and if your phone’s GPS location services are on, FishAngler will locate your home location and provide a radius around that area. 
  • The radius dictates how far away other anglers have to be, to appear on your local feed. You can set the radius up to 500 miles away, or shrink it down to 10 miles to see only catches from your immediate area.
  • You can also manually set your location by dragging the map to a specific area.

The region you select will determine your weather, solunar activity, wind and more. For all coastal anglers, your location will also determine tidal data and wave forecasts.
