Free Download Now
FishByte is a computer program that stores your fishing-hunting locations and calculates the best fishing, small game hunting or big game hunting times for any location and any day.
How it works: First, you have to find your location on the built-in map. FishByte uses the power of Google Earth to find any location easily and quickly. Next, you select a day or a period of days when you will be fishing or hunting. FishByte will calculate the sunrise-sunset and monrise-moonset times and the moonphase-moon age for your location and dates and, if available, looks up the weather forecast for the selected place and day(s). Based on this information, FishByte can calculate up to four periods per day when wildlife will be more active during the day: when fish will strike, deer or other big game will show itself or small game will move. You can save or print out a report of these times to take it with you on your hunting-fishing trip.
FishByte, the trip planner: Additionally, you can type in the hours when you are free to fish or hunt, separately for workdays and holidays.
You can tell FishByte to skip certain days of the week; if, for example, you can't fish on Mondays, FishByte will skip Mondays. You can also tell FishByte to factor in the weather forecast or ignore it. Finally, you can choose between fishing, small game hunting or big game hunting.
Based on these settings, FishByte can calculate how good the day is. You can always switch between holiday hours/workdays, fishing and hunting and weather/no weather and see the changes in the evaluation at once.
Once you have a list of days and possibly several locations, you can view these results, sorted by a combination of date, location and how good the days are. You can add or delete individual calculations.
This way you can plan a sportsman's holiday half a year ahead, if you if you like, and choose the best times and places for hunting or fishing.
I've had a chance to try out FishByte and it works pretty well. For Singapore and other Asian countries, you'd have to add new locations and countries from Google earth.
