Breakpoint — Know where the fish are before you leave the dock. Breakpoint turns live ocean data into ranked fishing hotspots for the species you're chasing. Instead of burning fuel and daylight searching, you run straight to the right water — with a game plan built before you untie the lines. FISHING INTELLIGENCE, POWERED BY THE OCEAN Breakpoint reads six ocean layers and fuses them into species-specific hotspots, refreshed every six hours: • Sea surface temperature — find the breaks and thermal edges • Chlorophyll & water color — locate the green-to-blue productive edge • Ocean currents — animated vectors reveal rips, eddies, and feeding lanes • Bathymetry & structure — depth contours, ledges, reefs, and rigs • Frontal detection — pinpoint convergence zones where bait stacks up • Wind & waves — fish the conditions, not against them RANKED HOTSPOTS FOR YOUR TARGET Pick your species, choose your date, and get the top spots ranked by a science-backed model. Every pin shows depth, temperature, current speed, structure, and more. PLAN THE WHOLE TRIP IN MINUTES Auto-route through the best hotspots, get distance and ETA, and check the marine forecast at every waypoint — all before you leave. WORKS PAST THE LAST CELL TOWER Download your region — maps, ocean layers, and hotspots — and keep full functionality 60 miles offshore with no signal. LOG EVERY CATCH Record species, weight, length, location, and photos. Build your personal catch history and sync it across devices. EVERYTHING IN ONE APP • Interactive oceanographic map with toggleable layers • Species hotspot rankings, updated 4× daily • Trip planning with auto-routing and ETAs • Detailed marine weather and thermocline insight • Saved waypoints and offline maps • Catch logging with photos and cloud sync Breakpoint gives weekend anglers the edge a veteran captain builds over decades — fishing intelligence tuned to your species, your waters, and the exact day you're on the water. Download Breakpoint and stop searching. Start catching. Hotspot rankings are scientific guidance based on ocean conditions, not a guarantee of catch. Always check local regulations and conditions before heading out.
