## What is Huk'd?

Huk'd reads the ocean like a captain — so you run to the right water on the right day.

Offshore fishing is a search problem. Huk'd narrows it. It pulls live ocean data from public sources, scores the water off your home port, and hands you the day's best marks — each with a plain-English reason and a single number you can trust.

THE HUK SCORE
Every candidate spot gets one calibrated 0–100 score that fuses the signals that actually move fish: sea-surface temperature and temp breaks, chlorophyll edges, currents and shear, sea-surface-height eddies, bottom structure, and forecast sea state. The score is cross-checked against NDBC buoys and public dock counts — corroboration raises confidence, it never invents a spot. Tap any mark to see exactly why it scored the way it did.

KNOW WHICH DAY TO GO
The 7-day bite window fuses forecast seas, tide, and solunar feeding periods into a ranked outlook — so you pick the day and the hours, not just the spot.

BUILT ON REAL OCEAN DATA
Live SST, chlorophyll, sea-surface height, currents, NDBC buoy reports, and public fish counts. No guesswork, no black box — sources are shown, and a quiet or missing feed is treated honestly, never faked.

STRAIGHT TO YOUR CHARTPLOTTER
Huk'd builds an efficient plan-of-the-day route through your top marks and exports it as a GPX file for Garmin, Furuno, and Simrad units. Draw your own routes, drop observation waypoints, and save trips to your plan library.

IT LEARNS FROM YOU
Log a catch — or a blank — and Huk'd calibrates future picks to your boat and your water. Your track record gently nudges tomorrow's recommendations.

NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED
Forecasts, maps, the bite window, and GPX export all work signed-out. Sign in with Apple or Google is optional and only enables cross-device sync of your catches, trips, and saved marks.

Huk'd is an intelligence and planning tool for offshore anglers. Always check official forecasts and use your own judgment on the water — conditions change fast offshore.

Garmin, Furuno, and Simrad are referenced only to describe GPX export compatibility; Huk'd is not affiliated with them.
