How to use NAKMAT

In the bar on the right, tap Catches (조황) · Weather (날씨) · Wind (바람) · Tides (물때) · CCTV · No-fishing (금지) to turn a layer on. Tap it again to turn it off.

The No-fishing (금지) layer is marked Beta. Please use it for reference only — we explain why in the FAQ below.

The round numbers on the map show how many catches have been posted nearby. Tap one to expand it, and keep tapping to see each individual post.

Press and hold anywhere you’d like to go, and everything you can do with that spot pops up at once.

Keep it with Save this place (이 장소 저장), mark it with Planning to go here (여기 갈 예정), or use Get condition alerts (조건 알림 받기) to be notified when conditions line up. You can also just check the weather, or go straight to directions.

Tap Trip Planner (출조 플래너) below the map, and it’ll ask whether you want to plan around the spot you’re looking at. You can pick somewhere else, too.

Then confirm whether it’s freshwater or saltwater — the tides and forecast you see are tailored to that.

If the forecast changes for a day you’ve saved, we’ll let you know first. We also show you exactly what changed and how — for example, whether the wind has eased or the rain has cleared.

Set the species · range · conditions (어종 · 범위 · 조건) for a saved spot, and you’ll get an alert when a matching catch report is posted. No more refreshing and waiting.

The weather screen shows temperature, chance of rain and wind speed by time of day. Use it to decide whether to go at dawn or in the afternoon.

Current conditions come from Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) observations.

The tide screen shows at a glance whether the tide is coming in or going out, and how many hours are left until the next tide change. No need to work it out from a tide table.

Tide heights are matched to your exact location, and you can check wave height, water temperature and water level there too.

When you tap Capture (촬영) in the Log (기록) tab, you’ll first pick one of three options. What happens next depends on your choice, so it’s worth a quick look.

Submit to a Tournament (대회에 등록하기) lets you pick a Tournament you’ve entered and submit right away. It counts toward Challenges, too.
Post to Challenges & catch reports (챌린지·조황 올리기) is the everyday option. Any Challenges whose requirements you meet are updated automatically.
Save to temporary album (임시앨범에 저장하기) just keeps the photo for now so you can finish logging it later. It can’t be submitted to Tournaments.

When you take a photo, when and where you caught the fish is added automatically. Add the species, length, fishing method and bait, and it’ll be easier to look back on later.

You can also use Measure (계측) to measure length from the photo. Photos for Tournaments go through measurement; for Challenges and catch reports you can post without it — but how catches are counted may differ from Challenge to Challenge.

Tap My catch map (내 기록 지도) in the Log tab to see every spot where you’ve caught fish on one map. Tap a number to see everything you caught there, with species, length and date.

You can even look back at where you fished and what you caught on this day a year ago.

Go to More (전체) → Live catch reports (실시간 조황).

Tap the chips to filter by Tournament (대회 조황) · Challenge (챌린지 조황) · Personal (개인 조황) reports. Handy when you only want to see catches from Tournaments.

You can also use Near me (내 주변) to see only nearby spots, or Freshwater · Saltwater (민물 · 바다) at the top to filter by water type.

Each catch photo shows its type in the top-left corner, so you can tell what kind of report it is without using the chips.
