Common questions.
What is BassIQ?
An AI-powered bass fishing app that gives you real-time recommendations for bait, color, technique, and where to fish — based on live weather, barometric pressure, water temperature, and moon phase data for your exact location.
How is it different from Fishbrain?
Fishbrain depends on other anglers logging catches near you. If nobody's posting, you get nothing. BassIQ uses live conditions and AI to build a game plan right now — no crowd data needed. It tells you what to throw, where to fish, and why.
How is it different from Bass Forecast?
Bass Forecast gives a generic good/fair/poor rating. BassIQ gives you specific bait picks with color and retrieve speed, exact structure and depth to target, and a guide-level explanation of why conditions are the way they are.
What data does it use?
Live weather, USGS water temperature gauges, barometric pressure, and moon phase — all tied to your exact coordinates. Premium also includes local fishing reports from guides in your area.
Does it work on any lake?
Yes — any lake, pond, or river in the United States. Type in any location or use your GPS. Works especially well on popular bass lakes across the Southeast, Midwest, and Texas.
Is it free?
Yes. Free gives you 5 lookups per day, live conditions, and AI bait recommendations. Premium ($9.99/month) adds unlimited lookups, a 7-day forecast, saved lakes, and local guide intel.
Can it tell me where on the lake to fish?
Yes. BassIQ specifies structure types — creek channel mouths, hard-to-soft bottom transitions, staging flats, dock edges — tailored to current conditions. Not just what to throw, but exactly where to throw it.
