For demersal and bottom trawl
Find the ideal seabed conditions.
Bottom temperature, currents, sediment and fleet activity — the signals that matter when the fish is on the ground.
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 bottom fishing
Purpose-built for bottom fishing
Bottom conditions, wrecks, ice, and fleet signals — everything that shapes where and when you set.
Bottom conditions that fish cluster in
Estimated bottom temperature matched within ±0.7 °C against trawl-eye measurements
Bottom currents layered with depth and sediment
Moon phase and tidal signals to time sets
Wrecks and seabed
The biggest wreck database for Norwegian and Nordic waters, combined with seabed composition. Plan tow lines around hazards — protect gear and quota.
Daily SAR-ice for the cold
Ultra-detailed SAR-ice maps updated daily. Navigate optimally when ice conditions shift — down to the specific ridges and leads.
See the fleet, see the fishery
Premium AIS with fishery-activity detection from tracklines
See where others are trawling hard — the signal of a good area
Species distribution layers to chase the money fish and spare the quota

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
Jan Roger Lerbukt
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.
