Read the water.
Plan the day.
Fish your own clock.
Tide. Moon. Current. Bridge shadow. Palolo. Every signal that moves fish — stacked against your own waypoints, read for today.
One card per skiff, per day. Printed before dawn, taped to the console. The phone stays in the cooler.
Built for captains who fish the clock, not the hope.
A Pre-Dawn Planning Instrument — Not a Fish Finder
It tells you what fires, and when. Your waypoints stay yours — there's no public spot directory, and there never will be.
The Clock
The 90-minute windows where current, stage, and solunar stack. Drawn from NOAA station 8723808 and Islamorada lunar tables. Nothing predicted — just compounded.
The Food
What's running this week. Palolo hatch, crab flush, threadfin spawn. Match the fly to what's moving now — not last June's pattern.
Your Water
Your waypoints, read against today's tide, light, and barometer. Private to your skiff. No public spot directory. Ever.
The Card
One sheet, one skiff, one day. Conditions, rotation, fly logic, return clock. Printed at 4 AM. Read on the console.
Sample Skiff Card
What's on the console at 0500.
Day
Day 2 / Bahia Honda rotation
Time Window
06:42 – 08:08 (outgoing, +1h post-slack)
Waypoint Type
Channel-edge bridge approach
Fly Recommendation
Black & purple Toad, 2/0, intermediate
Trigger Cue
Mullet push under bridge shadow line
Move Rule
Rotate if no eat by 3rd pass or current drops <0.6 kt
Why this window
- Outgoing tide stage matches 3-year strike density at this waypoint.
- Waxing gibbous; minor solunar peak overlaps the window.
- Mullet still staged in adjacent basin per yesterday's run notes.
Doesn't show you other guides' waypoints. Yours stay yours. Tier-0 private by default. No public directory. No social feed. No "trending spots."
Doesn't predict where the fish are. The fish are where they've always been. FINS just helps you read the clock against your own water.
Doesn't replace twenty years on the water. The card is a compression tool, not a substitute. If you don't know your water, this isn't for you.
Doesn't connect to sonar, side-scan, or any in-boat electronics. Phone in the cooler. Card on the console. That's the whole interface.
Who This Is For
Captains who run their own water and want one less spreadsheet at 4 AM. Tournament teams who already have the spots — they need the rotation logic and the return-clock math. Anglers who fish the Gold Cup and the TTE circuit with someone they trust on the platform.
Who This Isn't For
Anyone looking for live fish-finding. Anyone shopping for spots they haven't earned. Anyone who'd misuse a planning tool the moment lines went in.
