Major Feature

Power Prompts turn Captain Brad into a guided fishing analysis tool.

This is not a sample-question list. Power Prompts are built-in investigations for the planning work that usually takes paragraphs to ask: diary patterns, catch-log weather context, historical weather and solunar patterns, saved waypoint history, NOAA evidence, species plans, and pre-trip risk.

Feature depth

Start from the question an experienced captain would ask.

Pick a Power Prompt when you want Captain Brad to audit your history, compare conditions, find repeated mistakes, or build a more defensible plan before you spend fuel and time.

NOAA

Find hidden NOAA patterns

Mine catch-survey evidence for overlooked weather, moon, species, and structure signals.

Tell me something most anglers would miss in the NOAA catch-survey context you have. Look for useful patterns that connect weather, moon phase, species, catch size, location, and bottom structure. Explain why each pattern matters, how strong the evidence is, and what I should verify before using it on a trip.

Red Snapper

Top Red Snapper spots

Rank nearby saved waypoints by same-season Red Snapper history.

Analyze my Red Snapper patterns for this same time of year, using my catch logs and saved waypoints first. Find the closest saved waypoints to my current location that produced my biggest Red Snapper. Rank supported spots by largest fish, seasonal match, and distance from me. If the data is thin, say what is missing.

Personal history

My hidden fishing patterns

Find blind spots across logs, diary notes, waypoints, and NOAA evidence.

Analyze my catch logs, fishing diary, saved waypoints, and semantic memory. Find patterns I probably have not noticed across good trips, bad trips, species, size, season, moon phase, tide, wind, waves, water temperature, pressure, tactics, bait, time of day, and location. Separate strong evidence from weak evidence.

New water

Find new water like my best spots

Use my history to find similar water I have not saved yet.

Find new fishing areas near me that look like my best historical spots but are not already in my waypoints, catches, diary notes, or known locations. Use my logs, diary, saved waypoint patterns, and NOAA context to identify matches by species, season, weather, structure clues, and repeatable conditions.

Big fish

Big fish pattern finder

Reverse-engineer what produced my largest fish.

Analyze the biggest fish in my catch logs and compare them with relevant public species records near me. Find the conditions tied to larger fish: species, month, location type, wind, seas, water temperature, pressure, moon or tide notes, time of year, bait, tactics, and diary rationale. Rank the strongest patterns by evidence quality.

Pre-trip risk

Skunk insurance

Find what is most likely to weaken my next trip plan.

Use my bad fishing diary entries, poor catch logs, saved-waypoint history, and NOAA or weather context to identify what is most likely to make my next trip disappointing. Look for repeat risk patterns across wind, waves, water temp, pressure, moon phase, tide, season, water clarity, bait, tactics, target species, and location choices.

Species plan

What should I target today?

Pick the smartest species plan from the available evidence.

Tell me what species I should target today using my current location, season, saved waypoints, catch logs, fishing diary, and NOAA species context. Rank the top species by evidence strength, not popularity. Include an aggressive option, a conservative option, and a backup plan if conditions change.

Waypoints

Go back or move on?

Audit my saved spots with honest planning context.

Audit my saved waypoints and nearby fishing history. Tell me which spots deserve another trip, which are overrated, and which I should stop wasting time on. Use my catch logs, diary outcomes, tags, distance, seasonality, weather patterns, and NOAA species context as evidence.

Diary

Find my hidden diary patterns

Turn trip notes into repeatable fishing intelligence.

Analyze my fishing journal entries like a captain reviewing years of trip notes. Look for patterns across good trips, bad trips, species, season, moon phase, tide, wind, waves, water temperature, pressure, current, water clarity, bait, tactics, time of day, area, structure, and route choices.

Diary

Repeat or avoid this pattern?

Use my diary to decide if conditions are worth planning around.

Review my fishing journal entries and tell me which conditions I should repeat and which ones I should avoid. Compare successful, mixed, and bad trips by season, moon phase, tide, wind, seas, water temperature, pressure, current, area, species, tactics, and notes.

Diary quality

What did I miss?

Find evidence gaps and better notes to capture.

Audit my fishing journal like a guide trying to make me a better angler. Find the most important patterns my entries reveal, then find the missing details that limit better recommendations. Prioritize changes that would make Captain Brad more useful for future planning.

Trip replay

Replay my last bad trip

Diagnose what went wrong.

Find my most recent bad or disappointing fishing journal entry and break it down. Use the diary notes, outcome, weather, season, area, moon or solunar context, catch logs, and any related waypoints to explain what probably went wrong and what I should do differently next time.

Weather

Catch-log weather patterns

Find the weather heuristics behind my best catches.

Analyze the weather patterns from my catch logs. Find the wind, wave, water temperature, pressure, season, and species combinations that produced my best catches. Compare those against my bad or average trips and tell me which conditions I should wait for, which ones I overrate, and what I should target when those patterns show up again.

Fishing Diary

Fishing Diary belongs with Captain Brad's AI context.

Diary notes are the private trip memory behind the diary-focused Power Prompts: plans, hunches, missed bites, good days, and tough days that do not fit cleanly inside a catch log. Keep the notes separate, then let Captain Brad compare them against conditions when you choose to use your history.

How Captain Brad Works

1

Ask Your Question

Ask Captain Brad directly, or start with a Power Prompt when you want deeper analysis without building the question yourself.

2

Planning Analysis

Captain Brad reviews NOAA survey data, historical weather and solunar patterns, current conditions, and your private history when you choose to use it as personal planning context.

3

Review Suggested Spots

See suggested areas, weather context, and evidence strength for your target species.

4

Plan With Better Context

Use the suggestions alongside local knowledge, safety checks, and what you see on the water.

Spot protection

Your history is context, not training data.

Captain Brad can use your private waypoints, catch logs, diary entries, and conversations to answer your own planning questions. Fish Fathom does not use that private fishing data to train, retrain, or improve AI models.

Private to your account

Your fishing history is used for your own planning workflow, not for other anglers.

No public spot feed

Your saved coordinates are not published as community spots or public heat maps.

No AI training use

Your private data is not used to train AI models.

Topic cluster

Connect Captain Brad to the pages that give it context.

AI planning is stronger when the page routes anglers into private history, map evidence, weather context, and privacy controls.
