How Our Bite Score Works
🔬 10+ Environmental Variables
Water temperature, barometric pressure trends, lunar phase, wind, cloud cover, dissolved oxygen, species metabolism, spawning cycles, and more.
📊 Species-Specific Science
Each species has unique metabolic efficiency curves, spawning windows, and feeding patterns. Bass and walleye don't respond to the same conditions.
🌊 Real-Time Data
Live USGS water temperature stations, weather APIs, and lunar calculations — not guesses or generic calendars.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our engine analyzes 10+ environmental variables including water temperature, barometric pressure trends, lunar phase, wind, cloud cover, dissolved oxygen, species metabolism, spawning cycles, photoperiod, and thermocline depth to produce a 0-100 probability score.
