About TideLock™
TideLock is a marine-tech fishing platform built for serious anglers who want to fish smarter, not just harder. Whether you're chasing striped bass at dawn or trolling offshore for marlin, TideLock gives you the tools and intelligence to make every outing count.
At its core, TideLock is a secure spot vault — a private, GPS-precise record of every fishing location you've ever discovered. Spots are locked to your account and optionally shareable with your crew, so your best-kept secrets stay yours. Alongside your vault, TideLock's AI Spot Advisor analyzes your saved locations against real-time environmental conditions — tide state, wind, moon phase, season, and water temperature — to recommend exactly where to go and what to use before you ever leave the dock.
TideLock is built for recreational and tournament anglers of all skill levels: weekend warriors who want to log their catches and track personal bests, competitive anglers who need edge-finding intelligence for tournament days, and fishing crews who want to share spots and reports privately within their group. The platform supports charter captains listing their services, marketplace sellers trading gear, and safety-conscious boaters who want SOS and check-in tools on the water.
TideLock was developed by Bobby Watcharasakunee, the founder of PACIFIC COAST FISHING LLC. Bobby is a Marine Corps veteran, lifelong fisherman, and entrepreneur whose life's mission is to give back to the fishing community. Drawing from years of experience on the water and a commitment to innovation, Bobby built TideLock to solve real problems anglers face every day. Every feature is designed with real fishing scenarios in mind — from the catch log that captures bait, depth, tide, and weather in one tap, to the AI catch reports that summarize your season automatically. We believe that the best fishing stories start with the best preparation, and TideLock is here to make that preparation effortless.
