Three forecast models (GFS, ECMWF, ICON) compared side by side, leading with how much they agree — so you know how confident the forecast really is. • Tides & water. Smooth tide curves, high/low times, a nearest-station picker, water temperature, waves, and current for coastal spots. • Rivers & lakes. Live USGS river gauges with flow (CFS), gage height, and trend for the freshwater crowd. • Local Bite Report. Scans recent public fishing reports near you and blends them with seasonal patterns to tell you what's working now — with links to the sources it used. • Fishing score, explained. A 1–10 score for your spot and time, with a plain-English breakdown of every factor pushing it up or down — so you learn why, not just what. • Best time to fish. An hour-by-hour timeline highlighting the day's prime feeding windows, plus a 7-day outlook for planning ahead. • AI fishing guide.
