The same six things a $400 guide reads — synthesized into one plan.
Solunar apps hand you a gauge. Weather apps hand you a number. Bite Window reads them together — the way an experienced angler does in their head — and tells you what it means for today. No blue tables. No guessing.
A bass guide costs $400 a day. Most of that's the plan, not the boat.
You're paying a guide for judgment — where to start, what to throw, when to be on your best spot. Bite Window automates that judgment and hands it to you the night before, for about the price of a couple of crankbaits a month.
It only tells you to throw what you actually own.
You own 40 baits and tie on the wrong one. Tell Bite Window what's in your box once — it recommends from your gear and gives you the substitution when you don't have the perfect one. No “go buy this $25 bait.”
We don't replace Fishbrain. We do the part it doesn't.
Plenty of anglers run both. Fishbrain shows you where fish were caught; Bite Window tells you what to actually do today. Here's the honest lay of the land.
Anglers who stopped guessing.
“Drove two hours to a lake I'd never fished. Followed the plan to the main-lake points and had a five-fish limit by 9. It read that front exactly right.”
“I've paid guides $450 for less. The 'no jig? throw a Texas craw' substitution is the kind of thing only a guide tells you.”
“Stopped buying baits I don't need. It works my actual box and tells me why. The on-water chat saved a dead morning when the wind switched.”
A guide's judgment, without the guide's rate.

Questions, answered like a guide would.
Built by anglers, with r/bassfishing — not a catch-map company.
The hardest part of a fishing trip isn't the gear — it's reading the day. The front, the moon, the temp, the wind, the season. That information already exists in the open; it's just scattered across five apps and locked in the heads of people who fish a lake every week.
We deliberately don't build a catch-map — that's a decade-long data war and it's not the job anglers ask for most. The job they ask for, thousands of times a week on Reddit, is simple: “heading to this lake Saturday — what should I throw?” Bite Window is the answer to that question, written like a guide, grounded in the conditions.
We're a small team of bass nerds and engineers. Every plan is a starting point, like a guide's briefing — confident, but honest. Fishing's probabilistic; we'll never promise you a limit, just a much better Saturday.
Your next trip starts with a plan.
