About Fish Finder AI

Fish Finder AI is a Pro-only smart map layer, not a separate app section. It combines satellite sea-surface-temperature analysis, chlorophyll-a concentration (bloom and baitfish detection), and current and structure data to surface likely hotspots in open water.

Free vs Pro

Free includes 10 of the 21 map layers: Weather overlay, Satellite view, Normal, Wind arrows, Solunar overview, Catch markers, Community catches, Tide stations, Fishing spots, and OpenSeaMap. Pro unlocks all 21, including Depth contours & bathymetry, Water temperature/SST, Ocean currents, Fish Finder AI, and offline map downloads for remote areas — offline downloads are Pro-only.

Note

Fish Finder AI and similar layers surface probability and likelihood, not a guaranteed catch outcome.
