No. Because no forecast can truthfully guarantee whether fish are biting at a specific spot right now. Getfished shows the current fishing conditions instead: tide movement, solunar timing, weather, wind, pressure, marine conditions and fishing report, derived, species history.
Use this information to make informed decisions about where to fish, and to compare conditions across nearby locations. Try different locations, different bait and lures. Remember to use berley and try to target a specific fish species in season.

Fishing Lip Grips are essential tools for anglers, allowing for safe handling of fish while minimizing harm to both the fish and the angler. These grips are designed to securely hold the fish by the lip, making it easier to remove hooks and release the fish back into the water.
To use Fishing Lip Grips, follow these steps: 1) Open the grips and position them around the fish's lower jaw. 2) Squeeze the handles to securely hold the fish. 3) Carefully remove the hook while keeping the fish steady. 4) Release the fish back into the water gently. Always handle fish with care to ensure their survival after release.
