About FishingTech

FishingTech launched in 2018 with a goal and a mission. Our goal to help anglers find and enjoy fishing technology. Our mission is to help everyone better connect to nature through technology.

We review and write about fishing gear, including fish finders, trolling motors, pedal kayaks, fishing apps, fishing cameras, and fishing drones.

We love clean tech and tech that helps folks fish who wouldn't otherwise!

Andrew operates FishingTech from the SF Bay Area.
