» Created by Seattle-based developer Steve Parker with data from the National Weather Service, Florida Radars (99 cents) gives animated real-time weather radar for all of Florida.

» BrokenLure-Fishing Florida ($4.99) was created for Florida anglers by Largo software developer Virgil Siegle. The app includes a saltwater fish-identification guide, the latest Florida fishing regulations and the current Florida record for the fish in question.

BrokenLure also comes with another app developed by Siegle, a fish-weight calculator called FishyScale. (It can be bought on its own for 99 cents). Measure the length and girth of your catch in inches, choose the fish’s shape from a selection wheel, and the app generates the approximate weight of your fish.

Users generally like BrokenLure but say it
needs some fish recipes. (No word on how to hold the iPhone with a fish flopping around in the boat.)

Siegle has other apps, including Easy Oil, which calculates oil-to-fuel mix ratios, and a boating-safety app called Float Plan, which creates and stores details about your vessel, crew and trip itinerary and allows you to easily e-mail it all from your iPhone.
