What finding more fish looks like

Every screen below is the real app on real water — live data, survey-grade depth, and one goal: the most, and the biggest, largemouth bass.

Daily guide reports

A fresh report for your lake, every day — where the bite is, what's working, and a game plan broken down hour by hour. This is a real one from Lake Fork: topwater early, then out to the channel swings and ledges.

Submerged structure

Old roadbeds, flooded timber, homesteads, points, humps, and creek swings mapped and labeled so you can fish structure by depth band instead of hunting for it.

Survey-grade depth, in 3D

Real bathymetry — not traced contours. Flip on 3D Depth and read the creek channels, ledges, and drains the way the lake actually lays. This is Lake Fork's lakebed, every foot of it.

Real View: the lake with the water gone

Real View drains the lake. Every creek channel, ledge, hump and flat is lit and shaded as if the water were gone, with the depth numbers still showing through, and a relief slider to stretch the bottom until a two-foot break stands out. Tilt it into 3D beside today's bite score and run the old channels before you ever launch.

Fish attractors

State-placed brush piles and habitat sites, straight from the agencies that sank them. Table Rock alone carries 2,441 marked sites — every one of them on your map.

Routed trip plans

Pick a launch and how long you've got — your guide lays out a timed, routed day: which spots, in what order, when to move, and how long each run takes. Launch to last cast.

Lake Over Time: drawdown, high water, today

Every high-resolution aerial photo of the lake, each one labeled with how high or low the water was that day. The drawdown photo is the bottom photographed dry: the creek channels, roadbeds and hard spots you would normally be guessing at, bare ground from above. O.H. Ivie's caught the bed in August 2016. The high-water photo shows where the water pushes into the bushes, and the photo taken closest to today's pool is marked, so you can see today's shoreline sharp. On 143 lakes, 92 with a drawdown photo.

Mud lines

Satellite-tracked water clarity shows where the mud line sets up — and the forecast slider shows where it's headed — so you can pick the color line you want to fish before you launch.

Real-time conditions

Live water temp, pool level, wind, and an hour-by-hour bite score that weighs weather, solunar windows, and pool trend — over survey-grade two-foot contours on one of Texas's premier big-bass factories. And it looks a week ahead: every day scored with its best window flagged, so you know the window is Friday 7 to 10 before Wednesday is done.

Weather on the water: wind, radar, lightning

Live wind is drawn right on the lake: arrows across the water point where it is blowing, with the speed under each one, so you can see which banks it is piling into. Wind pushes bait onto the windblown bank and active bass follow, so your guide's spots and plan lean toward those banks for today's wind. Turn on radar for the National Weather Service loop, refreshed every few minutes. Lightning shows where strikes have been landing over the last 15 minutes. Active severe-weather warnings — tornado, severe thunderstorm, flash flood, special marine — are drawn on the map in the Weather Service's own colors, and any watch covering your lake is called out on screen.

Simulated pool

Set the lake to any level and the shoreline moves with it. Drop Fork three feet below normal and you can see which flat goes dry, which contour becomes the bank, and how deep each brush pile will sit on the day you fish it — before you pick a ramp.

The land before the dam, in 3D

The USGS mapped this ground before there was a lake on it. Those sheets — Ivie's were surveyed between 1931 and 1967 — are laid back over the terrain, so you can stand the old river channel up and look at the valley your fish are holding in. 73 lakes carry theirs.

Real View on the water

Drain the lake from the boat. Add Submerged Structure and the old roadbeds, oil wells and buildings sit right on the lit bottom at their depths. Add Wind Arrows and you can see which point today's wind is pushing bait onto — and where the break comes up to meet it.

The bottom has stories — we mark them

Old schoolhouses, submerged oil wells, railroad grades, flooded timber, and agency brush piles with type, depth, and install year. The stuff that holds fish, named and on your map.

Where you are, and how deep it really is

GPS puts your boat on the contours in real time, so you can see the ledge you are easing onto instead of guessing at it. And every depth is corrected to the lake's pool level today: when the water is down four feet, a 17-foot hump reads 13, the same number your depthfinder is showing you.

Log it, and the lake gets sharper

Log your catches with the bait, the spot, and what they hit, plus action and after-action notes from the day. Every entry sharpens your own read on where the big ones are holding and what they are hungry for, trip after trip.

Tournament Fishing: the simulator inside the app

Tournament Fishing is how you learn a lake before you ever launch on it. Every cast is made on the real lake map — survey-grade depth, submerged structure, today's wind, water temperature and clarity — and a fish only bites when your read of the water is right. It simulates the decision, not the fish: your read of depth, structure, bait and conditions is what gets graded. Fish it and you learn the lakes, learn the map layers that find fish, and learn to pick the right pattern faster and with more accuracy. And when you can't get on the water, it's your fix: the big one is out there.
