## What is bayLURE?

Read the conditions. Tie on the right thing.

bayLURE turns live conditions at your fishing spot into a bite forecast and a ranked list of lures, rigs, and bait — with the reason behind every pick.

A BITE SCORE THAT KNOWS YOUR FISH
• Tuned to your target species — trout, bass, redfish, and catfish don't feed at the same temperatures, and your score knows the difference
• Seasonal patterns built in: pre-spawn, spawn, and the fall feed-up
• Moon phase and solunar feeding windows, graded hour by hour with the best bite times highlighted
• LEARNS FROM YOUR CATCHES: every fish you log tunes your forecast toward the conditions you actually catch fish in
• Rivers too — live USGS streamflow, because rising or falling water can make or break a river bite

LIVE CONDITIONS, HONESTLY SOURCED
• Barometric pressure and its trend — the biggest bite factor
• Wind, clouds, humidity, sunrise/sunset, rain chance — with a lightning warning when thunderstorms are in the forecast
• Water temperature, NOAA tide predictions, and current tide movement
• Animated weather radar with a 2-hour storm forecast, an animated wind overlay, NOAA nautical charts, and depth contours right on the map
• Straight with you: if a data source is down, bayLURE says so instead of guessing quietly

THE PLANNER
• Tides & Bite: an hourly chart of the tide curve over your bite score — peak windows highlighted, tap any hour to see that moment's conditions
• Bite score 0–100 for today or any of the next 6 days
• Ranked lures, rigs, and bait matched to conditions, structure, clarity, species, and fishing pressure — each with rod, line, and hook advice
• Inshore, freshwater, AND offshore: mahi, grouper, tuna, king mackerel, cobia, snapper, amberjack, wahoo — with where they hold in the column
• Playbooks for tough, pressured water, expected fish nearby, and a link to your state's official fishing regulations

WHERE TO CAST
• A painted top-down sketch of your spot — dock, laydown, riprap, grass
  line, lily pads, oyster bar, mangroves, drop-off, current point or open
  flat — with the casts numbered in the order to make them and a line of
  advice for each, from shore or from a boat
• A side profile of the depth lane to work and how to move the bait
• Every one of the 56 lures, rigs and baits shown with its own picture,
  and today's top picks previewed right on the Plan page
• Sea State graph: tide, waves, swell and current on one chart, with
  sunrise and sunset marked on every graph

YOUR MAP, YOUR WAY
• Satellite imagery to read grass lines, channels, and structure (topo toggle included), two-finger rotation, and one-tap re-centering
• The map remembers your layer choices — open the app, it's set up your way
• GPS, address/ZIP search, or drop a pin; save favorite spots and bayLURE reopens on the last one you viewed

CATCH LOG THAT PAYS YOU BACK
• Log species, gear, size, notes, and a photo — conditions attach automatically, and you can backdate catches
• YOUR PATTERNS: see the conditions you really catch fish in, and get flagged when an upcoming day matches
• Back up spots, presets, and catches to a file you keep
• Everything stays on your device: no account, no sign-up

Fish smarter mornings. bayLURE is free, supported by a single small ad.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-26

- Where to cast. The Playbooks sheet now opens with a painted, top-down sketch of your spot: dock, laydown, riprap, grass line, lily pads, oyster bar, mangroves, drop-off, current point or open flat. A hook marks where you stand (or a boat where you sit), the casts are numbered in the order to make them with a line of advice each, and fish sit where they hold. Switch From shore / From a boat and the whole plan changes. Below it, a side profile shows the depth lane to work and how to move the bait.
- Throw this shows today's top lure, rig and bait, with pictures and match scores, right on the Plan page. All 56 lures, rigs and baits now have a painted picture.
- Sea State graph: tide, wave height, swell and tidal current on one chart, with direction arrows. Tap a legend item to hide or show a series; hold it for what it means.
- Sunrise and sunset on every graph, to the minute, with night hours shaded.
- Hold any stat tile for what the number is and why it matters on the water.
- The day chips and hour dial sit above the bite score, so you can change the time with the map still in view. Graphs switch with one tap instead of a dropdown.
- Wind in mph or knots (Guide > Units).
- Rearrange the Plan tiles: hold one, drag, tap Done. The order is remembered.
- Map: it reopens where you left it, double-tap zooms in, saved spots show as gold stars, and search now finds bait shops, stores and landmarks.
- Directions open in Apple Maps or Google Maps, your choice, when both are installed.
- Light mode refreshed, and larger accessibility text no longer breaks the layout.
- Where you fish is your call: positions, routes and access points are suggestions, not a safety or navigation check.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-19

Share your catches (optional). A new switch on the Guide tab sends your catch log — species, gear, size, date and the logged conditions — to bayLURE's catch database to build better bite predictions for everyone. Off until you turn it on; a one-time prompt after your first catch offers it. Notes and photos never leave your phone. Location is rounded to about a kilometer unless you also share exact spots. Turn it off anytime; "Delete all my data" removes our copy.

Nothing caught today. One tap logs a fishless day with today's spot and conditions, plus what you threw. The misses matter as much as the hits.

Every lure, rig and bait illustration redrawn.

"Use my location" is remembered across launches.

Saving a spot starts from the place you searched for.

Fixed: logging today's catch before noon was rejected as a future date.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-10-15
