How to read fishing times

Fishing times are most useful when you understand what drives them. The four variables that matter most for inshore fishing, in rough order of influence:

Frequently asked questions

• What is the best time to go fishing today?
  The best fishing time today depends on your location, the species you are targeting and the current weather pattern. As a general rule, dawn (the first two hours after sunrise, especially on a falling tide) is the single most productive window for most inshore species in Australia and the US. The Fishare bite score for Sydney today is 65/100 (HOLD). For a location-specific answer, open the Fishare app and enter your coordinates.
• What do "fishing times" mean?
  In angling, "fishing times" usually refers to either: (1) the solunar major and minor periods for a given day — the windows when the moon's position is most likely to trigger feeding activity; or (2) a broader time-of-day guide based on light levels, tide and species behaviour. Fishare calculates both and combines them with live weather data (wind, barometric pressure, water temperature) to produce a single daily bite score.
• How does the Fishare fishing prediction work?
  The Fishare model takes 27 input features — including wind speed and direction, swell height and period (where relevant), sea-surface temperature, barometric pressure and trend, solunar period strength, rainfall probability and tide stage — and passes them through a feedforward neural network trained on approximately 2.5 million real catch records across 14 fishing regions. The output is a 0–100 bite score with a GO / HOLD / WAIT verdict. The model's validation loss is 0.0063 on a held-out test set of real catch outcomes.
