Live Bite Index

Calculating from current conditions...

CastSight AI blends coordinate-based weather, tide, wave, and current readings into a conservative directional index when source coverage is available.

Sources

Source audit

Checking official National Weather Service observations, coordinate-based forecast models, and nearest available NOAA CO-OPS stations...

Coverage varies by state and coastline. Weather is coordinate-based; tide, water, and marine confidence depends on nearby public station/model coverage.

Weather Cross-Check Pending

Using National Weather Service observations where available, with Open-Meteo as the forecast/model cross-check.

Tide Authority Pending

NOAA CO-OPS provides authoritative tide timing and water observations where nearby station coverage is available.

Marine Model Pending

Open-Meteo Marine provides wave, swell, sea surface temperature, and current estimates.

Live Report

Regional species activity

Striped Bass

Activity rising fast

Model

Live conditions currently favor bass-style surf tactics when wind, wave height, and the next tide line up.

--live bite index

NOAAtide verified

NWSweather checked

Bluefish

Schools moving east

★★★★☆

Best treated as a secondary opportunity unless bait schools are visible or birds are working.

Fluke

Fair in deeper cuts

★★★☆☆

More sensitive to clean water and calmer surf, so the model reduces the index when wave height rises.

Live Bite Map

Beach search powered by live location data

Search a beach or use your current location. CastSight AI refreshes weather, tide, marine data, and bite scoring from the chosen coordinates.

Active Fishing Location No beach selected yet

Choose a beach by name or use your current GPS. All conditions, tides, Bite Map scoring, and AI recommendations refresh from that location.

Location mode Waiting for a beach search or live GPS location.

Beach Search Search a beach or use your location

Type the exact beach, inlet, jetty, town, or access point. CastSight AI will research matching beaches and use the selected coordinates for live conditions.

Best results: search the beach you plan to fish, then refresh live data.

Personal AI Coach

Ask condition and beach questions

Fishing AI

Ask the coach

Ask what to throw, where to start, or how the live conditions affect tonight's bite.

CastSight AI Coach

Ask about the selected beach, live conditions, and your saved tackle. Gemini routing is owner-controlled, and CastSight falls back to its built-in fishing engine when an allowance is unavailable.

Surf Cast Read

Upload a 30-second wave video

CastSight extracts representative frames and, when Gemini visual analysis is configured, automatically proposes troughs, bars, cuts, current, casting lanes, and a practical first cast. You can correct any uncertain marking.

Frame 1

Cast read waiting for video

Upload a beach-facing surf clip. CastSight extracts representative frames and provides a manual overlay workspace for troughs, bars, cuts, rips, casting lanes, and cast targets.

Overlays are guidance. Automatic computer-vision classification requires a configured vision model and validation.

Tackle Box

Scan, save, and ask from your actual tackle

Save your tackle, scan packages or lure photos, edit any item later, and ask the AI what to use for the beach and conditions you are fishing.

Tackle Box Scan

Scan, photo, barcode, or receipt

Take a photo, upload packaging, scan a barcode/QR code, or add a receipt. CastSight fills what it can and leaves the rest for review.

CastSight can decode supported barcodes/QR codes, create product research links, and suggest what fields to auto-fill.

Track every piece of gear cleanly

Choose the category first. The form only shows details that make sense for that gear type, so fields do not repeat across reels, line, lures, leaders, hooks, drones, and storage.

Tackle AI

Ask from your tackle box

Ask what to throw based on your saved gear, uploaded tackle scan, selected surf location, weather, tide, and waves.

Tackle AI ready

Save or scan gear, then ask for a setup that fits the current conditions and beach.

Your edge

Your tackle box helps the AI avoid recommending things you do not own. Once real catch logs exist, this becomes a measured personal pattern.

Personal timing needs more real catch logs. The coach will become more accurate as actual trips are logged.
