BiteSignal helps anglers know when to fish, where they caught, and why the bite happened. Live bite scores, tide and weather conditions, trip planning, catch logging, shared trips, and fishing patterns all work together so every catch builds a smarter picture of your water. REAL-TIME BITE SCORE Every location gets a 0-10 fishing score based on tides, solunar periods, barometric pressure, wind, water temperature, moon phase, cloud cover, and more. Saltwater and freshwater scoring are tuned separately because different fisheries respond to different signals. PRECISION BITE WINDOWS See exact start times, peak times, and quality ratings for upcoming bite windows. BiteSignal finds the moments when tide movement, solunar activity, pressure, light, and weather line up. PLAN BETTER TRIPS Pick a destination and date range, then scout the best days before you go. View forecasts, tide charts, bite windows, and trip conditions so you can plan around the highest-probability windows. MARK SPOTS AS YOU FISH Drop trip spots while you are on the water, rate them, name them, and attach catches to the exact place they happened. BiteSignal keeps the catch connected to the right spot and the right environmental conditions. LOG CATCHES WITH CONDITIONS Record species, bait, length, weight, quantity, photos, notes, and location. Every catch automatically saves tide, pressure, wind, water temperature, moon phase, bite score, and other conditions. SHARED TRIPS Fish with friends and keep the trip organized. Shared trips show catches, anglers, spots fished, and trip activity together so everyone can see what happened throughout the day. DISCOVER YOUR PATTERNS BiteSignal turns your catch history into personal fishing intelligence. See your best species, tides, times of day, baits, moon phases, pressure trends, seasons, spots, and conditions. BEAUTIFUL CATCH LOG Browse catches by species, trip, date, and spot.
