OnTheChew

On the Chew is the all-in-one companion for fishing, diving and spearfishing in Australia and New Zealand — real-time conditions, accurate tides, a legal size and bag limit guide, and a community built around real catches, not guesswork. CONDITIONS, AT A GLANCE See exactly what the water's doing before you leave home: live wind and swell, water temperature, wind by the hour, rain and wind maps, barometric pressure trends, sunrise and sunset, moon phase and UV — for your current location or anywhere you search, always in that spot's local time. Swipe the cards to look ahead up to 7 days. FISHING, DIVING OR SPEARFISHING Switch modes on the Now tab and the same forecast reshapes around what you're doing. Divers get a visibility estimate, in-the-water conditions, slack-water windows, a wetsuit guide and a dive safety card. Spearos get a shark-safety card, legal sizes and bag limits for commonly speared species, and the spearfishing rules. ACCURATE TIDES, RIGHT AROUND THE COAST Tide curves and high/low times for 579 Australian stations and 86 New Zealand ports, calculated on your phone from constants fitted to Bureau of Meteorology and LINZ predictions — typically within a few minutes of the official tables. Add the tide widget to your Home Screen or Lock Screen. SPECIES LOOKUP Look up 65 species in seconds: legal size, bag and possession limits, habitat, best lures and bait, season notes and known locations — with real photos, not stock art. Limits shown are NSW rules; elsewhere, the app links straight to the official rules for that state or for New Zealand. PINS MAP Drop a pin on your favourite fishing, dive or spearfishing spots and share them with the community, or keep them private. Switch to satellite view, and turn on marine park zones to see where you can and can't fish. A REAL FISHING COMMUNITY Share catches and videos, post gear reviews and tips, and browse a live feed of what other anglers are landing. Every catch records the conditions at the time, and your profile keeps a fishing logbook. Follow the anglers you trust, save the posts worth remembering and organise them into collections. TEAM UP AND MESSAGE YOUR MATES Host or join a Team Up meetup — pick a spot, set a date, and fish alongside other locals. Direct messages and group chats with photo, video and voice messages. BUILT RESPONSIBLY Clear Terms of Use with zero tolerance for abuse. Block anyone and report content that doesn't belong — every report is reviewed. Delete your account and everything in it, permanently, any time, right from Settings. Tide predictions are estimates based on Bureau of Meteorology and LINZ data and are not for navigation. Whether you're chasing a bag limit on the harbour or checking if the vis is worth the drive this weekend, On the Chew keeps the guesswork out of it.
