Pick your town from the header, anywhere on the Florida coast (Gulf, Keys, Atlantic, Panhandle). Strikepoint scopes the spots, tide, and weather to that town. Until you pick one yourself, the app follows your device's location and snaps to the nearest town as you travel; once you pick a town, that choice sticks and is never overridden (pick again to change it). Conditions and weather are live and free (no key); tide is real NOAA data; everything still works offline on bundled data.

Your at-a-glance read, arranged decision-first: the briefing headline and verdict up top, then one instrument row (water temp with its trend, tide phase with movement and range, wind, seas, moon, barometer, red tide) and the go/no-go run call. Below that, the answers grouped: Where to go now, Best windows today (with the sight-fishing light window), Tide and light (the curve, next high or low, and the sun times), Today's targets (every species' bite score plus the top calls with where and what to throw), and what is spawning. A live clock refreshes to the minute, and a red or amber storm banner appears whenever a severe-weather threat is active.

See the conditions in the future, not just the present. A bite-outlook chart draws the hour-by-hour bite score across the days ahead with the tide shape underneath, the feeding windows shaded, night darkened, and a now marker, so you can read the good windows at a glance. Below it, a visual daily strip shows each day's sky, temperature, wind, seas, and go/no-go run call. It also finds when a productive pattern repeats (the tide + solunar + wind + barometer setup behind the best window), so the bite is reproducible. Weather from Open-Meteo, tide from NOAA, solunar computed.

A full day read for your town: a large tide curve with the highs and lows labeled, day and night shaded with sunrise and sunset marked, the solunar feeding periods banded, and a live now marker. Pick any day in the week strip to see its curve, and read the sun and light times (first light, sunrise, sunset, last light), the moon phase and illumination, moonrise and moonset, the solunar feeding periods, and a feeding rating. Tide is bundled NOAA prediction; sun and moon are computed.

The Find screen ends with a single What to throw section for the species you pick: the lures dialed to the live conditions, color guidance from water clarity and light (natural and translucent in clear, bright water; gold and chartreuse to cut through stain; loud high-contrast in muddy water; dark and solid for silhouette in low light and after dark), and the rig (leader, hook, and how to work it).

The dashboard's Tide and light card carries first light, sunrise, sunset, and last light for your town, and the moon tile shows the phase and illumination. The low-light edges at dawn and dusk are prime feeding windows.

Strikepoint reads FWC's live Karenia brevis sampling (the official red tide source, refreshed several times a day) for the water near you and shows a status on the dashboard, Find, and spot screens: Clear when calm, amber for low, red for medium or high. It reduces the recent samples within about 25 miles to the worst reading, so a bloom on your stretch of coast shows even if the closest sample is clean, and when a bloom is moderate or high the briefing flags it. Source: FWC Fish and Wildlife Research Institute.

The Seas reading is the current wave height and period near you from the free Open-Meteo marine model (shown where the model has open-water coverage). Run conditions turns wind and seas into a single go/no-go call: Good to run when both are light, Marginal when it is building (fish the protected lees), and Rough when it is time to stay inshore. It is the judgment you make before leaving the dock, not a substitute for your own eyes on the water.

Turn on alerts with the header button. On the web a push subscription is registered and a background worker sends a heads-up before a major solunar feeding window opens at your town, even when the app is closed. While the app is open it also pings on prime windows and storm warnings. On the desktop these are native system notifications. Alerts are opt-in and stop when you turn them off.

The desktop build is optimized for a laptop or desktop: a wider workspace with the analysis screens (Trip Planner, Compare, Logbook) in the top navigation. It lives in the system tray, so closing the window keeps it running in the background and it checks for updates every few hours (the tray menu also has Open, Check for updates, and Quit). New signed versions download and install themselves, so it stays current with no reinstall.

Plan a trip at home: the week ahead for your town laid out day by day, each day with its best feeding windows, the tide highs and lows with the spring or neap range, the weather (wind, seas, temperature, rain), and a go/no-go run call. Weather from Open-Meteo, tide bundled from NOAA, solunar computed.

Your town and its nearest neighbors side by side, so you can see where the conditions and bite line up best before you drive. Each column is a town; each row a live metric (top spot score, solunar, water, wind, tide, seas, run call, red tide). The best top-spot score and the calmest run are highlighted.

Deeper analysis of your own logged catches: a satellite catch map of every GPS-stamped catch (tap a dot for the fish, its size, and the bait), the tide, moon, barometer, and water temperature most of your fish came on, a per-species roll-up (count, biggest, last caught), and a monthly trend. Built only from your device's logged catches through the same pure engines the learning loop uses, never invented.

Two layers. Read the Water analyzes the live tide, wind, barometer, water temperature, season, and solunar window and ranks the kinds of water that are productive right now (down-current rock at a pass, windward oyster bars, sand potholes, mangrove points, creek mouths, beach troughs, shadow lines, channel drop-offs), each with the reasoning and a search rubric for what to look for, so you can run unfamiliar ground and find your own fish. Below it, the known public-landmark spots are ranked by the same conditions, all of them, either across every species or for one you pick. The score weighs water temperature, tide, tide strength (the day's measured spring/neap range, and how hard each spot funnels it), wind, the barometer, and the feeding window. The more catches you log, the more the water read leans toward the water you actually produce on. A satellite map at the top plots every ranked spot plus nearby open-data structure, each dot colored by today's score. The curated known spots are numbered to match the Best spots list and rim-lit, while the dimmer dots are raw open-data structure. Tapping a spot (a dot, or any row in the lists) flies the map to it, rings it, and opens its details with a link to the spot page. The map also locates you by GPS, shows a distance scale, goes fullscreen, and toggles manatee zones and precipitation radar.

Beyond the curated spots, Strikepoint carries real fishing structure (reefs, wrecks, breakwaters and jetties, groynes, and named fishing piers) pulled from OpenStreetMap for the whole Florida coast and bundled offline. Each is scored by the same live read and shown with its real coordinates, so you can run structure the catalog does not name. These are real points from open data, never invented; verify them on the water. Source: OpenStreetMap contributors.

For structure fish (gag grouper), Find ranks real reef structure instead of shoreline spots: the statewide FWC artificial-reef catalog, nearshore sites in 45 feet or less, clustered from FWC's published deployments and bundled offline. Whichever town you pick, the finder ranks the reefs within range of it, weighing relief, published depth against where gags sit at today's water temperature, hard material, and season. Each site shows on the Find map numbered to match its row. Positions, depths, relief, and material are FWC-published, never invented; a reef field can span acres, so find the structure on the sounder before you drop.

Every open saltwater and brackish launch near your town, from FWC's published Florida Boat Ramp Inventory: trailer ramps and kayak/canoe launches on a satellite map, with lanes, dock, trailer parking, fees, restrooms, surface, and hours where FWC publishes them (unknowns are left blank, never guessed). Tap a row to fly the map to the launch. Ramp conditions and fees change, so verify before you tow.

Strikepoint tracks the inshore spawn calendar for each species: the months, the moons that concentrate it, the water temperature it needs, and the tide that releases it. The Spawning now panel reads the live conditions and tells you which fish are spawning, staging, or waiting on the water to warm, and where (snook and tarpon in the passes and beaches in summer, bull redfish at the passes in the fall, seatrout over the grass flats). A spot scores higher when a species is actively spawning right on it.

A satellite map of the spot on free, keyless tiles, with conditions, tide chart, solunar windows, the sight-fishing light window, and today's bite forecast. Locate yourself by GPS and go fullscreen, and toggle the manatee-zone overlay, a live precipitation-radar layer (RainViewer), and a heatmap of your own catches. Catches logged with a GPS fix plot at the position where they were caught; older catches without one mark the spot itself.

Built on free NWS severe-weather alerts plus radar. When a thunderstorm or tornado warning covers your area, the dashboard banner and push alerts say to leave the water. Safety aids can be delayed or wrong; never rely on them alone.

Toggle the protection-zone overlay on the spot map. With location on, you get a banner and a buzz if your position enters a zone. Boundaries are the official FWC State Manatee Protection Zones (FAC 68C-22), generalized for display, so verify the exact line with FWC.

A reference on all 13 target species: a researched behavior profile (how and when it feeds, its forage, time-of-day pattern, seasonal movement, the structure it holds on, and presentation tactics), its best water-temperature range and prime tide, where it spawns, and an annual activity strip. The Spot Finder uses the same behavior to weight each species' water differently. Published biology and angling knowledge developed in Southwest Florida that holds across the state's inshore waters, not invented data.

Pick a species and read its year as one timeline: peak, good, and slow by month with the current month marked, plus its peak window, spawn window and where it spawns, best water temperature, and prime tide in plain language. Chips at the top list what is firing this month, and every species links straight to Find to hunt it now.

Logs save on this device instantly, even with no signal. Every target species in the app can be logged, and the picker defaults to the species you last hunted on Find. Species, bait, size, and release are captured per catch, along with the conditions at the time. When the device has a GPS fix, the position is stamped too, so the catch heatmap on the spot map shows where fish actually hit; without a fix the catch simply saves without one.

A bag tracker on the Log screen. Each fish you keep today is counted per species against the bag limits of your own waters: your town sets the jurisdiction (Gulf, Atlantic, or Keys) and the count runs on your local calendar day. The badge stays green under the limit, turns amber at it, and red over it. Limits are a convenience copy; verify at myfwc.com before keeping fish.

Link your phone and your desktop with a pairing code (More, Device sync) so a fish logged on the water shows up at home, and vice versa. Create a code on one device and enter it on the other. There is no account; the code is the only identity, your catches stay on each device as the source of truth, and syncing just merges the two sets. Catches push when you log them and pull when you open the log or logbook.

Once you have logged a handful of catches, the log page shows the conditions you catch fish in most (for example a falling barometer or the outgoing tide), counted straight from your own catches and the conditions stamped on each. It only reports a pattern when there is a clear leader, and gets sharper the more you log.

A convenience copy of the major FL inshore/nearshore rules, statewide, by county: Gulf, Atlantic, and a dedicated Florida Keys (Monroe) rule set with the values FWC actually applies there (Southwest-region snook, redfish, and trout; Atlantic grouper rules). The slot check shows whether a fish falls short, lands in the keeper slot, or runs over, with bag limit, season, and each rule's special notes. FWC now manages snook, redfish, and trout by region, seasons like gag are set year to year, and the Keys carry extra species rules, so always verify at myfwc.com before keeping a fish.

Keep a copy of your FWC license on this device (More, My License): name, number, type, and expiration, readable with no signal. The page warns when the license is expiring soon or expired and points to gooutdoorsflorida.com to renew. It is a personal reference copy, not an official credential; carry your official license.

Optional, and the app is fully usable without it. The dashboard can write a short briefing over the day's conditions. It runs on your Claude subscription when one is available (no per-use charge), and only falls back to your own Anthropic API key if you add one (stored on your device). It is on-demand and cached against the day's conditions, so it does not make constant calls. The rankings stay fully deterministic; the model only writes the summary and is told to use only the computed facts, never to invent spots or numbers.

The working vocabulary behind the readings.

Tide highs and lows are NOAA CO-OPS predictions, bundled offline per town. Weather, wind, the barometer, and the multi-day forecast come from Open-Meteo (free and keyless), and water temperature, sea state (waves and swell), and the water-temp trend come from the Open-Meteo marine model. Storm and severe-weather alerts are the US National Weather Service (NWS). Red tide (Karenia brevis) is FWC Fish and Wildlife Research Institute sampling. Regulations are a convenience copy of FWC rules, so always verify at myfwc.com. Fishing structure (reefs, wrecks, jetties, and piers) comes from OpenStreetMap contributors, artificial reefs come from FWC's published statewide reef deployments, boat ramps come from FWC's Florida Boat Ramp Inventory, and the satellite basemap is Esri World Imagery. Every source is free and keyless, so the app costs nothing to run, and it falls back to bundled data offline.

Strikepoint runs on free, keyless data sources, so it costs nothing to operate. Your catches and logs stay on your device until you choose to sync.
