TACKLE/HOW IT WORKS
5 steps

HOW IT WORKS · IN FIVE STEPS

Real conditions, real fish, real fast.

Tackle combines AI, real-time data, and practical fishing guidance. Here’s the loop you’ll run, every trip.

STEP 01 · CONDITIONS

01Open the app. See the score.

Tackle pulls live tide data, weather, moon phase, pressure, and bait activity for your spot. Then collapses it into one number from 0 to 10 — your fishing rating with regularly refreshed conditions.

STEP 02 · IDENTIFY

02Catch a fish. Snap it. Done.

Tap Fish ID, point your camera at the catch, and Tackle suggests likely species for common catches such as Common Snook, Red Drum, Speckled Trout, Largemouth Bass, and more.

STEP 03 · ASK

03Stuck? Ask Captain.

Captain Tackle provides AI planning guidance. Ask about tide times, bait ideas for slack water, or where snook may hold on a falling tide. Use the answers as trip-planning input and verify local conditions.
