FishMate, the first iPhone application designed specifically to help anglers load the livewell, packs an incredible array of data and information into one easy-to-use interface.
"When I was a kid growing up on Smith Lake in Alabama, I had to read the paper, listen to the radio and study an almanac to figure out the best time to go fishing," laughs FishMate creator Sammy Lee. "I never had one source of information that would provide everything I needed until now." Drawing on more than thirty years of experience as a professional tournament angler, industry rep and professional broadcaster, Sammy has put together a killer app for fishermen everywhere.
Fire up FishMate, and immediately you get the best fishing times for the day at your location, with times for moonrise and moonset, sunrise and sunset, plus the major and minor feeding periods. Current moon phase? Of course!
A touch of the screen takes you to current weather conditions, including temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction. Thereʼs also an extended forecast prepared for your current location or anywhere else you plan to wet a hook.
That might be plenty for some fishermen, but FishMate gives you more. Another touch of the screen loads you up with tournament news, fishing tips and tackle information from the most informed sources in the industry, including the BASS Reporterʼs Notebook and FLW Outdoors.
After youʼve used the information from your FishMate to set up the perfect fishing pattern, you can touch the screen again while youʼre waiting for a big strike and listen to podcasts of "Tight Lines with Sammy Lee", Americaʼs longest-running syndicated radio fishing program. Another fun feature, the "Bigʼuns" page, allows lucky fishermen to post details of their catches, including photos, for other anglers to enjoy, utilizing social networking media like FaceBook.
"Iʼd buy it even if I hadnʼt designed it," says Sammy. "FishMate really does give you all the information you need to plan a fishing trip anywhere in the world."
FishMate, priced at only $3.99, can be purchased online at Appleʼs iTunes Store in the Apps section. A version for other smart phones will be ready for download next month.
FishMate was designed by Sammy Lee Enterprises, Inc. in conjunction with OpenMetrics, Inc.
