The Science Behind the Forecast

What Feeds Every Forecast

The engine learns from real catch records β€” anglers' logged catches and blank sessions β€” and weighs them against live environmental conditions to estimate your odds on a given species. Here's what goes in:

πŸ“Š Real Catches & Blanks

Trained on real angler catch reports and logged sessions β€” the fish landed and the days that blanked β€” so it learns where the bite shuts off, not just where it switches on.

🌑️ True Sea Temperature

Real measured sea-surface temperature β€” not air temperature β€” and how far it has drifted from the seasonal norm for that spot.

🌊 Swell & Upwelling

Wave height and swell period, plus wind-driven upwelling that pulls cold, nutrient-rich water inshore and switches the feeding on.

βš–οΈ Barometric Pressure

Absolute pressure and how fast it's rising or falling β€” a key driver of when fish feed hard or go quiet.

πŸŒ™ Lunar & Seasonal Cycles

Moon phase, tide windows and time of year, pinpointing the dawn, dusk and tidal windows when your target feeds hardest.

🌧️ Weather & Water Clarity

Accumulated rain and wind over recent days, combined with logged water clarity, to read turbidity and river-mouth conditions.

πŸ—ΊοΈ Exact Location

Your precise coordinates β€” not just a regional label β€” anchor each forecast to the latitude, longitude and coastline where you actually fish.

⏱️ Effort-Weighted Learning

A fish landed in ten minutes counts differently to one after a five-hour grind. Logged hours and rod count let the model weigh genuine hot bites above slow days.

πŸͺ Bait & Structure

What you fished and where β€” surf, reef, harbour or river mouth β€” shifts the odds per species, since each favours different ground.

🎯 Honest Confidence

Spots and species with too few records are held back rather than shown with invented certainty, so a number you see is a number the data can support.

πŸ“ Built Around Your Spots

Predictions are anchored to exact coordinates, not a regional label. Don't see your spot? Request it straight from the logger and it joins the queue β€” the map grows as anglers ask for it.

🎯 Earned, Not Invented

A spot stays quiet until it has enough catches and blank sessions to back a real number. As the data grows, each spot's predictions sharpen β€” so a percentage you see is one the data can actually support.

🌑️ Far More In the Mix

Real measured sea temperature and its drift from the seasonal norm, swell and wind-driven upwelling, barometric pressure and its trend, moon phase and tide windows, accumulated rain β€” all weighed per species.

πŸͺ Bait, Structure & Effort

What you fished, where you fished it (surf, rocks, river mouth, harbour), and how long you put in. A fish in ten minutes counts differently to one after a five-hour grind β€” the model weighs genuine hot bites above slow days.

Our Mission

Built by Anglers, for the Community

I originally built this just for me and my mates so we could catch more fish. But the better the predictions got, the more I wanted to share it with everyone. That is why this platform is β€” and always will be β€” 100% free and strictly not-for-profit.

This is a community tool. Every time you log a catch or a blank outing, you train the model β€” and bring your own spots online faster. Your logs make it smarter, which helps everyone catch more fish. No hidden agendas, no premium tiers β€” just anglers helping anglers. Let's build the ultimate fishing tool together.

🚨 Help Your Spot Earn Its Predictions

Each location only starts showing predictions once it has enough real data β€” both the days fish were caught and the days they weren't.

Blank sessions (days you caught nothing) are the rarest and most valuable data we have β€” they teach the model the exact conditions that shut the bite down. Logging a few historical sessions for the spots you fish, as accurately as you can on dates, times and baits, is the fastest way to bring your local predictions online.
