You already know your water.
BitePattern remembers it properly. Log every trip — the blanks too — and it works out which conditions actually put fish on your sand. Then it tells you when they come round again.
Free for your first 10 fish or 30 days. No card up front.
Built for the water, not the desk
Works with no signal
Not “syncs later”. GPS, camera and the keypad all work with the radio off. Nothing on the fast path waits for a network, because a fish does not wait for a loading spinner.
Every fish carries its own conditions
Most logs record the weather for the trip. BitePattern records it for each fish — the only way it can ever tell you your kob came in the last hour before high.
It tells you when it doesn’t know
Under three trips you get textbook guidance, labelled as such. At fifteen it re-weights itself around what matters at your marks. You always know which one you are looking at.
The unglamorous part
A blank is data.
Most fishing apps are built around the photograph. This one is built around the record — and a record with only the good days in it is worthless. If you never log the mornings you caught nothing, every condition looks equally good and nothing can ever be learned.
So BitePattern counts your blanks, puts them in the list in grey, and uses them. It is the least glamorous feature here and the reason the rest of it works.
Four steps, then an answer
Step 1
Log the fish
One tap. Species and size can wait; the time and the position cannot.
Step 2
Conditions attach themselves
Tide, barometer trend, wind against your beach, swell, sea temperature, light, moon.
Step 3
It compares
The coming forecast against every day you have already recorded.
Step 4
It answers
Which mark, which hours, how many stars — and the real trips behind it.
What gets attached to every fish
Not just to the trip — to each individual fish, at the moment you logged it. That is what lets it tell you the kob came in the last hour before high.
Tide
Phase and direction, plus hours to the next high and low.
Barometer
The three-hour trend, not the absolute reading. The change is what matters.
Wind
Speed, and direction relative to your beach — the only wind number that means anything.
Swell
Height, period and direction.
Sea temperature
Surface temperature at your mark.
Light
Dawn, dusk, dark or day — from the sun’s actual altitude, not the clock.
Moon
Phase and illumination.
Season
Where in the year you are, so June is compared with June.
