BreakIQ: Fishing Forecast

About this app

BreakIQ turns free NOAA and Copernicus satellite oceanography into species-specific hotspot predictions for offshore pelagic captains fishing the US East Coast and Gulf of Mexico. Every morning, BreakIQ ingests the latest sea-surface temperature, chlorophyll, sea-surface height, and wind and wave data, then scores the water for eight tournament species — blue marlin, white marlin, sailfish, yellowfin, bigeye, bluefin, mahi-mahi, and wahoo — using habitat models built from peer-reviewed literature. You get a map you can read at a glance and daily fishing-recommendation pins that tell you where to start. WHAT YOU GET - Sea-surface temperature and SST-break (front strength) layers to find the temperature edges - Chlorophyll and chlorophyll-front layers to find the color change and the bait - Sea-surface-height and current layers, plus warm- and cold-core eddy pins - Weed lines (Sargassum) and 30 m subsurface temperature - Depth contours and named offshore canyons with search - Gulf Stream frontal position - Species-specific habitat-suitability heatmaps - A 3-day habitat outlook, so you can plan the run instead of only reacting to today - Tap any point on the map for the exact conditions there LOG YOUR CATCHES, SHARPEN THE MODEL Log a catch in a couple of taps, on the water or off, with or without signal. BreakIQ records the conditions at the moment of the catch and uses your history to tune tomorrow's prediction. Your data is private by default — we never expose your GPS to other captains. BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU FISH - Works offline past cell coverage with downloadable map regions - Runs on your phone — no satellite receiver or extra hardware required - Trip tracking, personal history and replay, and one-tap GPX waypoint export to your Garmin, Simrad, Raymarine, or Furuno chartplotter - Personalized daily reports written from the day's conditions and your target species ACCURACY IS THE PRODUCT BreakIQ never invents numbers. Predictions come from oceanographic models, not guesswork, and when data is stale or missing, we say so. We hold ourselves to a public accuracy standard. BreakIQ is built for tournament and offshore captains who make real decisions on real water. Tight lines. Some premium layers and reports require a Captain or Tournament subscription.

Vessel traffic, a compass, and a timeline that finally reads in your timezone. NEW • Vessel Traffic (AIS) — live commercial vessel positions on the map for Tournament captains, coloured by vessel type and aged honestly, so you can tell a fresh contact from a stale one. Tap any vessel for its details. Not for navigation. • Range and bearing — every pin and the live cursor now say how far and which way from the boat, as a compass point, updated while you drag. • Compass — appears the moment the chart drifts off north-up, and snaps back with one tap. • Wave period and outlook currents now show in the Inspect card, with bearings written the way a captain reads them. FIXED • The map no longer opens on a forecast date with a dozen layers drawn blank. Your timeline stays on the freshest measured water. • Dates and times read in your local timezone. Evening planning had been running a day ahead — it isn't now. • Current flow draws across the Mid-Atlantic canyons instead of spending itself in the Gulf. • Two crashes at launch. • Sign-in confirmation emails that never arrived. • Alerts can be switched back on after you've denied them, and the alert settings say what they mean instead of "day | only | prime". SHARPER • Sea surface temperature stretches its colour range to the water on screen, so a break in the Gulf or the Straits reads as clearly as one off Hatteras. • The layer list is ordered by what captains actually reach for. • Break strength in the point readout is calibrated to the real field. • All eight species silhouettes redrawn against the real release flags. • The guided tour now opens on the model itself, not just the sea surface temperature.
