My Waters Console

The console is the captain's seat: one water at a time, with every reading for that water visible without scrolling on a phone. It answers two questions and nothing else — should I go, and where? Comparing waters is what the location guide is for; the console is what you look at with the truck already hitched.

What the console shows

Pick a saved water at the top and the instrument panel reads it live from four independent sources, so a dead NOAA thermometer blanks one gauge instead of the whole page:

Every value is fetched at the moment you open the page and refreshes on demand, with an as-of stamp and a stale marker when a source goes quiet. Nothing on this page is a published forecast.

How the bite outlook is derived

The outlook is a transparent score, not an oracle. Choose the species you are fishing for — or leave it on all species for the generic model — and the console scores the water on tide stage and range, water temperature against that species' comfort band, wind and gust strength, barometric trend and moon phase. Every factor that moved the needle is listed with its direction, so an angler who disagrees can see exactly why the number came out where it did and overrule it. Factors whose data is missing are skipped and named out loud, and the verdict is scaled to the factors we actually have — a half-informed guess is never dressed up as certainty.

Quick actions from the console

Choosing your home waters

The console reads waters you have saved, chosen from the 38featured fisheries across 7 regions — the Texas border to Maryland, plus the California outposts. Save the ones you actually fish and switch between them at the top of the page. The water list itself is managed on the locations page; saved waters live on your device and sync to your account once you sign in.
