In Fishbuddy, the best anglers in your country, led by our co-founder Asgeir Alvestad, share advice on what to fish, where, and how.

We blend expert insights with advanced technology to deliver an unmatched fishing experience, guiding you directly to the best spots in both saltwater and freshwater.

Brilliant technological minds, Open source data and ML = Perfect Guide.

What We Do

We even tell you what fish you caught, what matters the most to many of us, and how big it is, instantly.

For Fishers

Your perfect fishing guide – in your pocket.

Fishbuddy blends expert knowledge, cutting-edge AI, and powerful mapping technology to turn every fishing trip into a successful catch. Whether you’re on the coast or deep inland, we guide you to the right place, at the right time – and help you identify, measure, and log your fish in seconds.

For Governments and Institutions

We bridge the gap between government data requirements and market opportunities, delivering value to both public institutions and stakeholders in today’s data-driven landscape.

Governments spend billions on manual fishery monitoring. Fishbuddy’s B2C2G model, however, offers a cost-effective, scalable, and impactful alternative.

For Partners (B2B)

We are contracted by the Norwegian Coast Guard to provide cutting-edge, patented AR and AI technology.

Our solutions enables efficient and accurate fish stock assessment, monitoring and reporting, ensuring compliance with regulations while promoting sustainable ocean stewardship.

How it Works

Photo Taken
AI/AR Processing
Species-Size Result

Simply take a photo of your catch within the app. Our patented technology uses AR and AI to identify the fish species, estimate its length and weight and provide loads of other relevant data. This is the game changer on so many levels.

Impact

Every catch counts. For you – and for the planet.
Fishbuddy is the only recreational fishing app directly contributing to SDG14 – Life Below Water.

Citizen science made simple

Citizen science made simple – You catch fish. We log the data. The oceans get smarter. Fishbuddy provides valid, high-quality data for both fishers and authorities – turning each user into a citizen scientist. Our patented technology lets users log catches simply by taking a photo with their phone. This not only improves the fishing experience but also contributes valuable data for sustainability and life below water.

93% of users say they would share catch data if it’s easy – so we made it easier than ever.

Partnered with the Norwegian Coast Guard

We use our technology to monitor fishing activity and protect biodiversity.

Helping governments replace manual inspections with AI

More insight, lower cost, and better sustainability.

Coastal recreational fishing is mostly free, and therefore largely unreported – leaving authorities with limited data on fish stocks and ecosystem health. Governments today spend heavily on monitoring, but still struggle with gaps in managing fisheries sustainably.

Current practice is outdated and lacks innovation, leading to inefficient management and dramatic changes in fishing stocks all over the world.
