Fishing FAQ
Everything you need to know about finding where to fish, saving your spots, and getting the most out of Spot2Fish.
Where can I fish near me?
Use the Spot2Fish fishing spot finder to browse public fishing spots — piers, lakes, beaches and shorelines — across the US. Open any spot to see its location and map, then create a free account to save your own spots near you.
How do I save fishing spots from Google Maps?
Sign up for a free Spot2Fish account. When you find a spot on Google Maps, drop it into Spot2Fish and it is saved to your private logbook so you never lose it. You can group spots into trips and share them with your crew.
Is Spot2Fish free?
Yes. Saving spots, logging catches, and asking Skipper — your A.I. fishing guide — are free. You get three free Skipper questions with no account needed.
What is Skipper?
Skipper is Spot2Fish's A.I. fishing guide. Ask it where the fish are biting, what bait or lure to throw, and how to rig it, and get instant, tailored answers.
Are the fishing spots public and accurate?
The directory lists verified public fishing spots such as public piers and shorelines. Exact coordinates of user-saved spots stay private — public spots show an approximate area so honey holes stay protected.
Do I need a fishing license?
Most US states require a fishing license to fish, though many public piers let you fish license-free. Always check your state and local regulations before you head out.
