Is Fish City free to use?

Yes! Free to download and use. Access live fish counts, weather data, charter boat info, and community reports at no cost.

How do the live fish counts work?

Counts come from the dock reports California sportfishing landings publish as boats close out their trips. Fish City compiles those official counts into boat-by-boat and species-level views, refreshed daily.

Can charter boats get listed for free?

Absolutely. Free listings for boats, landings, and tackle shops. Showcase your catches and attract more bookings — no hidden fees.

What fish species can I track?

Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Yellowtail, Dorado, White Seabass, Rockfish, Lingcod, Halibut, and dozens more. Each species has its own page with trends and hotspots.
