About, sources & privacy
What this isLive fishing conditions for 131 spots — 72 salt and 59 fresh — Chesapeake Bay and VA Eastern Shore to the Outer Banks. The bite score is lore-weighted — folklore with weights, not a validated model.
Data sourcesTides & currents: NOAA CO-OPS · Weather & marine alerts: National Weather Service · Waves & buoys: NOAA NDBC · Wind models: Open-Meteo (GFS/ECMWF/ICON) · River gauges: USGS · Charted wrecks & depths: NOAA ENC / Esri-GEBCO · Wreck histories: NOAA Monitor Sanctuary + archives · Species guides: VDWR, NC DMF + local pier/tackle reports · Fish & ship images: public-domain (USFWS Duane Raver, NOAA, Navy archives, Wikimedia Commons — credited in place) · Wind farm & water outlines: OpenStreetMap.
PrivacyNo accounts. No tracking. No analytics. Nothing you do here leaves your device. Location is used only when you tap "near me" and never leaves the phone.
Honesty rulesAbsence of data never reads as safety — no-data hours say "can't grade." Safety chips are rules of thumb for small vessels, not your judgment. Wreck & waypoint positions are not for navigation. Regulations shown are a dated summary — verify with VMRC / NC DMF before keeping fish.

Should I fish right now?

The dial is a bite score — tides, wind, water temp, light, pressure and solunar collapsed into one number, with the reasons behind "why". It's weighted folklore, honestly labeled.
