OFFSHORE INTELLIGENCE · NEW · MAY 2026

Find the fish before you find the water.

A real model layered on top of the ocean — telling you where the marlin, tuna, mahi mahi and the rest of the pelagics actually are. Satellite-fed, updated daily, 12 species and counting.

For years, finding offshore fish meant subscribing to raw satellite imagery, learning to read the sea-surface temperature charts yourself, learning to spot the productive water, learning to read the spinning ocean structure, and then doing the interpretation in your head before you steamed out. HSI does the interpretation for you.

The model looks at five things, all at once, every day. Each one tells you something different about where the fish should be. The score is what you actually want to know: given everything I can see, how good does this patch of water look right now, for the species I care about?

What the model looks at

Five layers, one score. Each layer tells the model something different about the ocean — together they tell it where the fish should be.

1

Sea-surface temperature, with the edges already found

Pelagic species hunt along the seams where warm water meets cold. The model checks satellite SST every day, finds the warm-cold edges automatically, and tells you how close each spot is to one. You don't need to learn to read a thermal-gradient chart — it's already in the score.

2

Mesoscale ocean structure

The big swirling features that pelagics actively track — warm-core and cold-core spinning bodies of water that concentrate baitfish along their edges. The model knows where they are, which way they spin, and which species favour which type. Yellowfin and southern bluefin prefer one kind. Black marlin and mahi mahi prefer the other.

3

Green-water productivity

Where the green stuff is, the baitfish are. Where the baitfish are, the predators follow. The model factors in productivity-rich water bodies and the boundaries where they meet clearer blue water — that's where the bait gets concentrated.

4

Seabed structure

The model knows where the seamounts, ledges, drop-offs and submarine canyons are. So it basically knows the contours of the seabed and finds the good fishing structure for you automatically — you don't have to scroll through a chart looking for the 200m line.

5

Surface currents

Where the surface flow is heading and, more importantly, where the shear lines set up — those long lines where current speed changes and bait gets pushed up against the boundary. Same principle as the temperature edges, just for water movement.

Species the model knows

Each species has its own thermal sweet spot, eddy affinity and depth preference baked in. Pick a species, see its heatmap.

Yellowfin Tuna
warm-water hunter, follows the warm edges
Southern Bluefin Tuna
cooler-water specialist, follows the upwelling edges
Mahi Mahi
warm-core hunter — loves the warm spinning bodies of water
Black Marlin
tropical/sub-tropical, lives on the warm edges
Blue Marlin
tropical, prefers the warmer end of the range
Striped Marlin
cooler-water marlin, follows upwelling fronts
Wahoo
warm-water speedster, hunts along thermal edges
Yellowtail Kingfish
inshore-to-offshore, tracks structure + temperature breaks
Bonito
pelagic generalist — wherever the bait holds
Reef species group
snapper, morwong, groper — reef structure + cooler waters
Pelagic group (other)
mackerels, frigates, baitfish-followers
Gamefish group
broader gamefish — sharks, billfish, surface predators

More species are rolling out as we validate them against real catches. If you fish a species that's not on this list and want it added, drop a note via the chat in the app.

Frequently asked

What does the HSI score actually mean?

It's a 0-to-100 score for how good the conditions look at any patch of water, for the species you've picked. Higher score = more of the things that species likes (right temperature, near a productive edge, good structure underneath, baitfish around). It's not a guarantee — fish are still fish — but it's the best read we can give you of where to actually go.

Which species are covered?

Twelve to start: yellowfin and southern bluefin tuna, all three marlin (black, blue, striped), mahi mahi, wahoo, yellowtail kingfish, bonito, plus broader pelagic / reef / gamefish groups. More species roll out over the coming months as we validate them against real catch data.

How accurate is it?

We validate it against real catches that were held back from the training data. It's good. It's not magic. Some days the fish do their own thing and the model is wrong — that's the nature of the ocean. But over time, the spots the model lights up are where the catches come in.

Does it work outside Australia?

Yes — the upstream data sources are global. AU and NZ are the most thoroughly calibrated because that's where most of our training catches come from. US East Coast, Hawaii, and the broader Pacific should work well. Coverage tightens up as catches roll in from each region.

Can I cancel during the 7-day trial?

Yes. Cancel any time during the 7 days and you don't get charged. After the trial ends, the subscription rolls over to A$49/yr (or A$5.99/mo if you picked monthly) and you can still cancel any time — no minimum term.

I'm a friend of Olli's — how do I get a code?

Just ask him. Friend codes get you HSI free for as long as you want it. There's a "Promo code" field at checkout. If you don't have a code yet, drop Olli a message via the chat in the app or any of the social links at the bottom of the page.

I signed up to Fishare ages ago — do I have to pay?

No. Anyone who signed up before October 5, 2026 gets HSI free for life as a thank-you for being there early. No action needed — the app checks your account creation date and unlocks HSI automatically.

Does this replace the rest of Fishare?

No — HSI is just one feature. The bite score, the live map, the spot pages, the tide model, the catch logging, the species and regulations content — all of that stays free, for everyone, forever. HSI is the layer on top for offshore anglers who want the satellite-fed habitat read.

A note on methodology

We don't publish the recipe — the specific data sources, the exact model architecture, the validation numbers. The reasoning is simple: this took months of integration work to get right, and the offshore-intelligence incumbents that we're catching up with deliberately don't publish theirs either. We'd rather you trust the score on the merits than reverse-engineer the inputs.

What we will say: the model is multi-input, the inputs are all real upstream data (no Solunar-style 1926 lookups), and it's trained on millions of real catches across over a thousand species. It's validated against catches we held back from training. The fish keep getting caught, so the model keeps getting sharper.
