The old way… but on a phone.
Before the apps, you studied the chart the night before, you fished with your head up, and you wrote the day down when you got home. SeaWolf is built in that order, and it stays out of the middle part.
Study the water.
- Soundings & structure
- Depth, wrecks, channels, buoys — the electronic chart the pros run, for every US coast and the Great Lakes.
- Sea temperature at 1 km
- NASA's daily analysis, painted for the water on your screen, with a line at every half degree. Where the break is.
- Wind & tide, live
- Arrows across the view; every NOAA gauge on the coast, one tap from the next high and low.
Weigh the day.
Plan the run. Name the species and how far you'll go, and the advisor lays out the stops in order, with the timing and the tactics for each, drawn on the chart. A run, not a list of spots.
- Tide 88
- Pressure 72
- Wind Capping 34
Head up. Phone in your pocket.
On the water the app gets out of your way. The work was done last night; now you watch the birds, not a screen.

Two speckled trout on the colour change off the jetty at first light. The bite died the moment the wind laid down.
Next time — an hour earlier.
Keep the record.
Every entry lands back on the chart, and over a season they become a heatmap of where you've actually done well, not where you meant to. Read it slowly. Argue with it. Ask the advisor what it sees in there that you don't.
And every fish gets a card: the catch on the front, where it happened on the back. The part you'll want to send someone.
Your log lives on your phone. We can't see where you fish, and we don't want to. What we store
That's the whole idea. Open the chart and see the first part for yourself, or read what Pro adds at each of the three turns.
