How It Works
CastConditions combines three proven fishing science signals into a single 1-5 star daily score for your exact location.
Solunar Theory
Lunar phase and moon position drive fish feeding cycles. New and full moons produce the most aggressive feeding. Major and minor solunar peaks create daily bite windows that experienced anglers plan around.
Barometric Pressure
Rising barometric pressure is the single strongest predictor of active feeding. We track 3-hour pressure trends in real time and reward rising pressure with higher scores.
Tide & Wind
Incoming tide activates inshore and coastal species. Light to moderate winds (5–15 knots) create ideal feeding conditions for most species. We factor both into every forecast to give you the full picture.
Fishing Guides
Science-backed guides to the factors that actually affect when fish bite.
Best Fishing Times
Solunar, pressure, moon phases, and tides — the complete guide.
Barometric Pressure & Fishing
Rising pressure is the single strongest predictor of active feeding.
Best Moon Phases for Fishing
New and full moon produce peak feeding. Here's why and how to use it.
Best Time of Day to Fish
Dawn wins for most species — but the rules change by season and target.

What Is CastConditions?
CastConditions is a free fishing forecast tool that tells you the best time to fish based on your zip code or exact location. Our 1-5 star daily rating combines solunar theory, real-time barometric pressure trends from Open-Meteo, and wind speed to give you a single, easy-to-read forecast — no guesswork required.
Whether you are targeting largemouth bass in Florida, walleye in Minnesota, redfish on the Texas coast, or tuna offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, CastConditions provides species-specific guidance and location-specific conditions updated every hour.
Our forecasts are built on established science: solunar theory developed by John Alden Knight in 1926, validated barometric pressure research, and real-time weather data from government and non-profit data sources. We do not sell, store, or share your location data.
