Honest comparison · The reference Solunar bite-times website

Solunar.com vs Fishare.

We respect what Solunar.com does well. Here is exactly where we're different and where we're not.

What Solunar.com owns
  • Reference-grade Solunar feeding-time tables
  • Free + ad-supported
  • Decade-old domain authority on "solunar" queries
Where Fishare is different
  • Bite-score from a neural network trained on 2.5M real catches. Theirs is the 1926 Solunar feeding-time table — moon/sun position only.
  • 27 features per hour factored into the answer: wind direction + speed, swell period, SST, water temp, tide stage, pressure trend, current direction. Solunar is one input among many.
  • Per-spot, per-species. Theirs is generic by location only.
  • Unified live map with all conditions. Theirs is text tables + a moon graphic.

When you should stay with Solunar.com

What Fishare doesn't do (yet or by design)

Solunar is a 1926 theory. Modern catch data shows tide stage and wind direction explain more bite variance than moon position alone. If you want Solunar plus all the modern weather + tide + SST + current variables, the bite score is the play. If you only want the moon table, theirs is the canonical source.

Frequently asked

Is Fishare really free?

Yes — the live map, bite score, 7-day forecast and spot pages are free to browse with no account. Logging catches and getting push notifications when peaks open requires a free account. There is no paid tier today.

How is Fishare different from Solunar.com?

Solunar is a 1926 theory. Modern catch data shows tide stage and wind direction explain more bite variance than moon position alone. If you want Solunar plus all the modern weather + tide + SST + current variables, the bite score is the play. If you only want the moon table, theirs is the canonical source.

Where does the Fishare bite score come from?

A feedforward neural network (27→32→16→1) trained on 2.5M real catches across 1067 species. Validation loss 0.0063. Inputs include wind, swell, tide stage, SST gradient, current shear, moon phase and ~20 more features per hour — not a 1926 Solunar lookup.

Does Fishare have an iOS or Android app?

Fishare is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — open fishare.app in mobile Safari or Chrome, then 'Add to Home Screen'. It runs offline, sends push notifications, and stays in sync without an app-store install. Native iOS / Android builds are on the roadmap.
