How we score it
We run a complex forecasting algorithm that combines tides, wind, rain, sea state, and species preferences to generate a fish forecast score (0-100) for each mark.
What this map means
Pin colours show forecast quality for the selected day, so you can quickly scan for the better marks to open first.
Chart and satellite
Chart is a nautical-style map built from open survey data (Open Waters Seascape): depth shading, contour lines and spot soundings below low water, in metres or feet (the m / ft switch), with roads and footpaths for access. It is a guide for anglers, not for navigation. Satellite shows the imagery. Open a mark's page to see how the seabed shelves away from it.

Sea fishing in the UK - your map to the coast
The UK coastline stretches over 19,000 miles and offers some of the most diverse sea fishing in Europe. From rugged Welsh rock marks to the sandy surf beaches of the South West, there are thousands of spots where anglers target bass, cod, mackerel, pollack, wrasse, and dozens more species all year round.
Current forecast rating
Each mark is colour-coded from the latest available weather and marine forecast, including tide timing, wind, swell, rain, and your selected species. Ratings are planning aids rather than catch guarantees; open a mark to see the confidence and signals behind its score.
Marks explained
A mark is a named fishing spot along the coast - it might be a pier, breakwater, rock ledge, beach, or harbour wall. Each mark on Where's The Fish? includes GPS coordinates, species lists, access notes, and a detailed fishing guide written for that location.
Seasonal tips
Spring and summer bring mackerel shoals, bass runs, and warm-water species like smoothhound. Autumn is prime time for cod as they move inshore, while winter offers whiting, dab, and flounders on many beach marks. The forecast adapts to what is in season.
Use the map above to pan along the coastline and find marks near you. Tap any pin to see the current forecast, then open the full mark page for tide-by-tide breakdowns, species info, and local access advice. You can also search by name or browse marks by region using the links above.
Whether you're a beginner looking for an easy pier session or an experienced angler scouting unfamiliar rock marks, the map is designed to help you make the most of your time on the coast.
