Fishing forecast FAQ

Does the forecast include tide charts and moon phase?

Yes — tide charts and moon phase are part of the same forecast view as weather and wind, so you're not juggling separate tide and weather apps for one trip.

Can I see bite predictions tied to barometric pressure changes?

Yes — air pressure is one of the factors BiteTime uses to predict the best times to fish, visible in the forecast tab for any saved spot.

Is the forecast useful for inshore saltwater fishing specifically?

The same forecast — tide, weather, moon phase, BiteTime — applies to inshore saltwater spots as it does freshwater. Pair it with Fishbrain's regulations for that water to check you're legal at the same time.

Does the forecast adjust for a specific species, like walleye or pike?

BiteTime's prediction is species-tuned per water body. If you are in the US or Canada it is more advanced and connected to BiteGuide.
