For line fisheries
Set the line where it pays off
Fleet activity, bottom conditions, and line tracking — the edge line fishers need when the good spots don't stay good for long.
Why skippers switch
Legacy tools show data. Catchwise helps crews work with it. The difference shows up on the bridge — not on a spec sheet.
Faster in daily use
Quicker on the bridge, smoother underway. The small moments add up over a trip.
Deeper, not broader
Click, inspect, dig, compare. A workflow built to understand what's happening — not just a map of layers.
Built for captains
Heavy actual usage drives what we build. Crews reach for Catchwise because it makes their decisions easier.
Built for line fisheries
Purpose-built for line fishing
See where the fleet has been, where they haven't, and the conditions behind every successful set.
Spot fresh grounds before the spots fill up
Fishery activity across 3, 7 and 30 days — fresh versus picked-over
Historical catch patterns by species and season

Where others have been
See the full activity picture before you commit fuel and bait. Used by 80% of large line fishers in Norway.
Weather the crew can plan around
Heavy weather is hard on the crew and on quality. Hourly marine weather and up to 14-day forecasts help you set when conditions are right.
Track your lines

Catchwise has become an important tool in my daily operations. Artificial intelligence gives us better decision-making foundations, saves time, and contributes to more sustainable fishing. Catchwise is forward-thinking and innovative, showing how technology can make a real difference in modern fisheries.

10/10 - Intuitive, innovative and practical. Easy to practice for all generations.
Kyrre Flemming Nilsen
Manager of Skjongholm
We wanted to be involved from the very beginning, as this is an opportunity to create something completely unique. With Catchwise, we connect experience and technology in a way that can change how we work with data and decisions for increased profitability and environmental impact

Ship Owner @ Hermes and Leader of the Norwegian Fishermen's Association
These numbers don't show that Catchwise alone creates the difference — fishing is affected by weather, quotas and the skippers' own decisions. But the pattern is consistent with feedback we receive.
