BiteTime got a big upgrade

We all should have been there yesterday. Seems like yesterday is always the best day to go fishing, but while we can't send you back in time to fish, we can make sure you fish the absolute best time today and tomorrow.

BiteTime got a massive upgrade, with more data added to it than ever. Below we go over exactly what kind of data is now included and how it helps predict fish activity.

Fish biology

Our local fish biologist Ryan Hearn scoured through scientific journals regarding fish biology and feeding activity, and even supplemented that data with personal evidence from experienced anglers. Times of year, seasonal data and prey species also go into helping us, and you, better understand fish activity levels and how to time the peaks and valleys.

Environmental factors

A fish's surrounding environment affects everything when it comes to feeding and activity. We take your real-time weather conditions and immediately crunch the numbers to help you determine when to fish, what to fish with and how to fish. Below are some of the main factors that go into each BiteTime prediction.

• Air temperature

• Pressure trend

• Light and cloud cover

• Time of day

• Lunar phase

• Wind

• Season

USGS water temperatures

Water temperature is so important it deserves its own section here. Every species has a preferred temperature range where they feel the most active and feed aggressively. Our experts went through the biology of our available species and used each species' preferred temperature range to impact BiteTime's functionality. We then compare that data with current USGS temperatures for your preferred water.

State agency data

State wildlife agencies are an amazing resource every angler should take advantage of, and we are no different. Whenever we see a hole in our data, we consult state wildlife managers and their own research to fill in information specific to species and location.

When your fishing windows are small, you need to plan to optimize those chances. Knowing the ebbs and flows of fish activity is the start of that.

Make sure and check out the new and updated BiteTime in your area today and make the most of every fishing opportunity you have.
