Find the water
worth fishing.

Pick the hours you have. We compare public shore and pier spots using bottom structure, time of year, tide, current, wind, swell, wave power, water temperature, clouds, pressure, daylight, moon phase, and expected fishing pressure.

Community trip log beta

The skunks
count, too.

Any complete trip helps build a structured backlog for future evaluation. Location, time, effort, method, catches, whether it’s a skunk or not are useful and genuinely appreciated.

Beta · a separate validation protocol decides whether a report can become model evidence; nothing enters training automatically. This public ledger shows aggregate totals only; any separate discussion summary requires human approval and additional safety checks.

Community totals appear here. Trip reports do not change the current score; any future model use requires the separate validation protocol.

The future accuracy measure compares catch per angler-hour in highly ranked windows against lower-ranked windows—not anecdotes alone.
