Intelligence & Analytics
Weather Intelligence
Weather Intelligence analyses your session history to reveal which weather conditions produce the best catch rates on your waters — the more sessions you log, the more accurate it becomes.
Accessing Weather Intelligence
Go to Analytics from the home screen, then scroll to the Weather Intelligence section.
What it shows
- Your Sweet Spot — a summary of the single combination of conditions (sky, temperature, wind, pressure) where your catch rate is highest
- Sky Conditions — catch rate by weather type (Rain, Overcast, Mainly Clear, Clear Sky, etc.)
- Temperature — catch rate across temperature bands (Under 5°C, 5–10°C, 10–15°C, 15–20°C, 20°C+)
- Wind Speed — catch rate at Calm (0–10 mph), Moderate (11–20 mph), and Strong (21+ mph)
- Wind Direction — catch rate by compass direction (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW)
- Pressure — catch rate at Low (<1000 hPa), Normal (1000–1020 hPa), and High (>1020 hPa)
- Pressure Trend — catch rate when pressure is Rising, Stable, or Falling
Metrics
Switch between Catch Rate (fish/hour), Avg Weight, Best Fish, and Sessions using the metric selector.
How weather data is captured
Weather is recorded automatically at the end of each session, using the postcode of your saved venue. No manual entry is needed. Sessions at venues without a postcode will not contribute weather data.
Discipline filtering
Weather Intelligence only uses sessions logged under the Specimen discipline. Coarse sessions are not included.
Use weather context in a Session Plan
Weather context can be considered alongside your own history in Today's Fishing Plan. The resulting recommendation can be saved as a named Session Plan for practical preparation. Weather narrows or informs the evidence; it does not guarantee a venue, peg, bait or catch. Learn how to create and use a session plan for the complete workflow. Manage saved plans from Using the Sessions workspace. For the separate daily plan and seven-day forecast, see Intelligence and weekly planning.
