Fish.Dive.Explore.

Australia's coast and inland waterways, reduced to one clear answer: where to go, what to target and how to fish it. Reefseeker combines thousands of established fishing marks, deep species knowledge, mapped seabed and live conditions, so you spend less time guessing and more time on the water.

The data set

An enormous database of where fish are actually caught

Every suggestion starts with ground truth: thousands of established fishing locations with known catch records, gathered from across Australia and tied to species, season, tide, bottom type and technique. Our own research on how each species behaves and how it is fished is layered on top, so the app reasons about places instead of just showing pins.

πŸ“

6,300+ established marks

Reefs, wrecks, jetties, rock platforms, drop-offs, channels, rivers, lakes and dams across every state and territory, each with its known catches and the conditions it fishes best in.

🐟

160 species profiles

Behaviour, preferred water temperature, light, tide, depth and bottom type, plus the rigs, baits, lures and techniques that work, with location-specific research.

🧭

Dive, snorkel & explore

700+ places: entry points, depths and skill levels for dives, plus lookouts, shipwrecks, lighthouses, wildlife watching and swimming holes, with safety checks built in.

πŸ›‘οΈ

Marine park & no-take zones

Thousands of zone boundaries so the coach never sends you into a sanctuary area, plus rules for every jurisdiction.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Mapped seabed

National seabed habitat and depth mapping covering around 900,000 km² of surveyed Australian seabed feeds every calculation, so the app knows reef from sand from weed under the boat.

πŸŽ›οΈ

Sounder setup guidance

Starting settings for your fish finder, using the menu names of Garmin, Humminbird, Lowrance, Simrad, Raymarine and Furuno units.

Fish finder help

Your sounder, set up for the spot you are fishing

Tell Reefseeker what you run and it gives you starting settings for the depth, bottom and conditions at your mark: frequency, range, bottom lock, gain, surface clarity, noise rejection and more, each with a plain-English reason.

  • Menu names and locations for Garmin, Humminbird, Lowrance, Simrad, Raymarine and Furuno, checked against the makers' manuals, with model-specific menus where they differ
  • Reads the seabed under you, so you know what rock, sand, weed or mud looks like on your screen
  • Adjusts for boat, kayak or jet ski, side imaging, live sonar and two-sonar set-ups
  • On the water, one tap from the fishing screen, and tell us when it is dialled in or still noisy

Live data streams

The ocean changes by the hour. So does Reefseeker.

The coach re-reads conditions as they change and tells you what to do next. Live catch reports are only one small part of it; these feeds work behind every suggestion.

3. Coach

A clear move: where to go, what to target and how to fish it, with sounder settings to match. It adapts as your session goes and learns from your catches.

Two ways to use it

Simple when you want it. Everything when you need it.

Switch any time from the top of the app.

Basic

A clean display on your phone. The app does the hard work in the background and gives you easy guidance.

  • Uncluttered map
  • One clear suggestion at a time
  • Boat ramps and depth at a tap

Power fish

For the keen angler on a tablet or PC: see the actual data and draw your own conclusions.

  • Depth contours, seabed habitat and survey layers
  • Full filters and access types
  • Live "right now" conditions and reports
Built to be trusted

Honest about what it knows

Safety first

No-take zones are filtered out, and weather and swell warnings are shown before you go. Reefseeker is a guide, not a navigation aid: always check official sources.

Fair to sources

We only use facts from public pages, write our own summaries, link back to the source and obey robots.txt. About ReefseekerBot.

Your privacy

Sharing catches is opt-in and anonymous: just species, result, an approximate area and the hour. Read the policy.

Questions

Where does Reefseeker work?

All Australian states and territories: the coast and offshore reefs, estuaries, rivers, lakes and dams, with the deepest coverage along the east, south and west coasts.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in your browser. Add it to your home screen for an app-like experience.

Does it work without signal?

The marks and zoning load with the app, but live weather, tide, satellite and report feeds need a connection. Fetch before you leave the ramp.

Can I trust the depth and marks?

Treat them as guidance. Many positions are estimated from written descriptions and seabed data is gridded, so always use a chart plotter and proper navigation, and keep a lookout.

What will it cost?

Nothing while we test. When paid plans arrive, the essentials will stay simple and early testers will be told first.
