Finspot

A map-first mobile app for anglers to share fishing spots. Production web: finspot.finluth.com. API: api.finspot.finluth.com.

What it does

• Browse fishing spots on a full-screen map (no login required)
• Search and filter by water type, access, distance, and recency
• See wind, waves, and a spring/neap tide hint on a spot
• Check in with “still good?” so other anglers know if it’s fishing
• Access notes and a regulations disclaimer on every pin
• Save favourites to come back later (works offline on the device)
• Log in to add a spot with a photo, tags, and GPS from the photo or your device
• Edit or delete spots you shared
• Open directions in your maps app
