The most user-friendly and powerful fishing weather+solunar app that blends top forecasts and science-based feeding data to help anyone pick the best days/times to fish. FishCaster is the ultimate fishing weather tool designed to put you on the water when you want to be on the water. By blending science-based fish data, accurate weather and moon forecasts, and the most user-friendly interface, FishCaster takes the guesswork out of planning your next trip. Whether you use the built-in algorithms or set your own custom criteria for your ideal conditions, FishCaster identifies the best days and times so you can maximize every cast. HOW IT WORKS: You select the location and criteria. FishCaster then compares that criteria to the forecasted weather data for that location and gives scores over the next 7 days (0-100 points). The higher the score, the better the forecast matches the criteria and the better the fishing. The selected criteria can be one of our built-in criteria based on our own science-backed algorithms or one of your own custom criteria that you’ve created. FEATURES: User-friendly interface. Anyone can use it! Best available weather data for anywhere in the world. Our weather data source combines data from the world’s most accurate weather models and is consistently more accurate than competitors. Built-in criteria for Best Fishing conditions based on our own science-based fish behavior algorithm across numerous weather and solunar (sun/moon) variables (barometric pressure, wind speed/direction, cloud cover, moon-related feeding periods, and many more) Built-in criteria for Comfort and Safety conditions when you want to catch fish in more comfortable and safe conditions by avoiding temperature extremes, strong winds, precipitation, and high UV index. Create your own custom preferred criteria across weather and moon conditions known to impact fishing. NO OTHER APP OFFERS THIS FEATURE! Know what the ideal conditions are for the body of water? Create your own custom criteria across numerous variables: -Temperature (range) and temperature trend (warming, cooling, or steady) -Barometric pressure (range) and trend (rising, falling, or steady) -Wind speed (range), wind direction (range), and wind direction consistency trend -Cloud cover (%) -Chance of precipitation (%) -Chance of thunderstorms -UV index (0-11) -Moon-related feeding periods -Moon phase Capture current weather and moon conditions when the fish are really biting. With the tap of a button, these conditions are saved as criteria for future use. NO OTHER APP OFFERS THIS FEATURE! Set custom safety alerts for dangerous conditions (high winds, wind from certain direction, thunderstorm risk, UV index, etc.). NO OTHER APP OFFERS THIS FEATURE! Automatic scoring (0-100 points) for the current period and next 7 days based on how well criteria match predicted weather and moon conditions.
