Know if today's worth the drive before you load the truck. PrimeBite gives you 1-to-5 fish activity ratings for 9 rated species: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Muskie, Northern Pike, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi-mahi, Black Marlin, and Atlantic Blue Marlin. Each rated species has its own math. Other fish use a separate Solunar Windows baseline, so you can still log them and see their windows. Open a rating to see the drivers that applied and how they moved the score. Three things make PrimeBite different. 1) THE RATING IS HONEST. Tough days look tough. The scale is simple: 1.0 is the model's worst conditions, 2.5 is average, and 5.0 is its best. It does not promise a catch. Each rated species has its own evidence base instead of one formula for every fish. Largemouth Bass also has What To Throw: a ranked lure lineup based on today's conditions, with reasons, how-to details, and checked source notes. 2) THE WEATHER PAGE IS BUILT FOR ANGLERS. Check temperature, wind, rain, visibility, UV, cloud cover, pressure trends, tides, marine conditions, and air quality. Offshore Maps show sea temperature at no charge. Pro adds currents, chlorophyll, sea-level anomaly, water clarity, and Yellowfin/Mahi hot zones that show which water looks best. Tap any spot to read the data there. 3) THE LOGBOOK FINDS YOUR PATTERNS. Save catches, trips, photos, conditions, gear, and notes. Start a trip for one or more fish, and every saved trip gets a summary, even on a day with no fish. Catch entries can include a 7-day weather lead-up when data is available. After enough catches, PrimeBite finds patterns in your own logs. On iPhone, selected older photos can be scanned on-device and saved as past catches when a fish, date, and location are found. A few things you won't find: • No ads • No public social feed • No paywall on today's rating Free to download. Today is free. The days ahead are in Pro: ratings in a 30 day calendar as far as the forecast reaches, 7 day tides where available, earlier rating alerts with up to 30 days of notice, and every Offshore Map layer. PrimeBite Pro is $3.99 a month or $29.99 a year in the US. The store shows your price and any free trial you qualify for before you buy. Each rated species lists its research sources in the app. Privacy Policy: https://www.primebitefishing.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
