How AI Generates Heat Maps

analytics

Data Input

AI analyzes NOAA fish survey data including catch locations, species counts, sizes, and environmental conditions.

psychology

Machine Learning

Advanced algorithms identify patterns and correlations between fish abundance and habitat characteristics.

calculate

Probability Calculation

AI calculates the probability of finding each species in every area based on historical data and conditions.

Visual Heat Map

Probabilities are rendered as color-coded heat maps - red zones = high probability, blue zones = low probability.

Understanding Probability Zones

Hot Zones (Red)

High Probability: 70-100% confidence that species will be present. These are your best bets for a successful catch.

Warm Zones (Orange)

Medium Probability: 40-70% confidence. Good secondary options if hot zones are crowded or conditions change.

Moderate Zones (Yellow)

Moderate Probability: 20-40% confidence. Worth exploring if you're looking for less pressured areas.

Cool Zones (Blue)

Low Probability: Below 20% confidence. Species may be present but chances are significantly lower.

Heat Maps by Species

Each species has unique habitat preferences and distribution patterns. Our AI generates separate heat maps for each species.

🔴 Red Snapper

Structure-oriented species found near reefs, ledges, and artificial structure in 40-200 ft depths.

🟤 Red Grouper

Bottom dwellers preferring hard structure and rocky areas in 60-300 ft depths throughout the Gulf.

🟢 Gag Grouper

Found near structure in 20-150 ft depths, especially around ledges and outcroppings.

🟡 Yellowedge Grouper

Deep water species typically found in 200-600 ft depths along steep ledges and drop-offs.

How to Use Heat Maps

gps_fixedTarget Specific Species

Select the species you want to catch and the heat map shows you exactly where to find them based on AI predictions.

searchFind Hot Spots

Quickly identify the highest probability areas without spending hours searching or wasting fuel on unproductive spots.

calendar_monthSeasonal Patterns

Heat maps reveal seasonal migration patterns - see where fish move throughout the year based on historical data.

mapPlan Multi-Species Trips

Overlay multiple species heat maps to find areas where several target species overlap for productive mixed-bag fishing.

local_gas_stationSave Fuel & Time

Navigate directly to high-probability zones instead of trolling around hoping to find fish. More fishing, less searching.

emoji_eventsIncrease Success Rate

Data-driven fishing gives you a competitive edge. Fish where the AI says fish are, not where you think they might be.

Why Heat Maps Work

  • Based on Real Data: Heat maps are generated from official NOAA survey data, not guesses or crowd-sourced reports
  • Pattern Recognition: AI identifies patterns humans might miss by analyzing thousands of data points simultaneously
  • Confidence Scores: Every zone includes a probability percentage so you know exactly how confident the AI is
  • Constantly Improving: As more data becomes available, AI models are retrained to improve accuracy
  • Easy to Understand: Color-coded visualization makes it obvious where to fish - no complex interpretation needed
