ALLIGATOR REEF / CONVERGENCE MAP
Temperature breaks. Current edges. A place to start.
Example product screenshotFishIntel is a daily offshore fishing report built from NOAA buoys and satellite ocean data, for US waters and the Bahamas. Each morning it reads temperature breaks, water color and current for the station you pick, then writes a plain-English plan with a day rating and three ranked spots. It was built by Captain Kit Carson of Islamorada.

Find your water.
What the film shows: a frigatebird glides low over open water, and in its eye a colorful ocean temperature map appears. Underwater, a tuna cuts through a school of bait. From above, a fishing boat runs toward the water the map picked out. The film ends on the FishIntel logo and the words “Find your water.” The four lines above appear on screen as text.
Try FishIntel Free
FishIntel offers a free fishing report before you subscribe. Read the sample report to see how NOAA and satellite data, sea surface temperature, chlorophyll, currents and live buoy readings, are turned into a plain-English fishing forecast. No account and no credit card are needed to read it.
Want one for your own water? The free plan generates a full report the moment you pick your zone, with conditions, species outlook and tactics, and leaves you one more full report, scheduled for any morning you choose. A paid plan is what adds a fresh report every morning, before you leave the dock.

You Shouldn't Need a PhD to Read an SST Chart
Stop wasting time, fuel, and money on guesswork. Get the intelligence you need.
Raw satellite charts are confusing
Other services give you data. We read it for you, in plain English. No more staring at colored blobs wondering what they mean.
One wrong run costs more than a month
A run to the wrong water can burn more fuel than a month of FishIntel. Start the day knowing where to go.
You're wasting fuel and time
Stop running to blue water and hoping. Read the temperature breaks and color changes.
Everything You Need to Fish Smarter
Satellite charts, live buoy readings and forecasts, read and explained for you every morning. We do the analysis and hand you the answer, with the evidence behind it so you can decide if you agree.
Daily Satellite Reports
SST, chlorophyll, currents, altimetry, wind, and pressure, analyzed by AI and delivered in plain English by 6 AM your time, every morning on paid plans.
Species Forecasts
Species outlooks built for your region. A mahi off the Keys doesn't set up like a mahi off the Carolinas, so each species gets an opportunity rating with where to look and what to use in your water, not generic species advice. Where we do not have one for your water yet, the report gives you the full conditions read and says so, instead of naming fish it cannot stand behind.
AI Vision Pass
Paid reports get a second AI pass that reads the actual satellite charts, not just the numbers behind them.
Buoy-Zone Precision
Your report is built on the NOAA station you pick, not a regional average.
Multi-Zone Coverage
Build zones on offered NOAA stations or fishing grounds. Search by station, ground or place name, or use the map to see the closest choices, then pick one. Switch between zones instantly.
Ask FishIntel
Ask the bot about your water in plain language on Telegram, up to 20 questions a day, answered from the same data the report is built on.
Tides, Moon & Solunar
Moonrise, moonset, moon phase, illumination, tides, sunrise/sunset, and solunar ratings, all tuned to your exact zone.
How It Works
Three simple steps to better fishing intelligence.
Set Your Zone
Pick the NOAA station nearest the water you fish. Search it by name, or use the map to see the closest ones and pick one. Your forecast is built from that station's readings and the satellite data over your water.
Wake Up Smarter
Satellite charts, species forecasts and conditions on your dashboard by 6 AM your time, while you drink your coffee. Every morning. That’s what a paid plan buys.
Start the Day With a Plan
Know where to start, and why, before you burn the fuel.
Powered by Real Science
We pull from government satellites, federal ocean monitoring networks, and global weather models. Then our AI turns it into fishing intelligence.
Government Satellites
Sea surface temperature and ocean color
Ocean Monitoring
Buoy networks, tide stations, and current measurements
Weather Models
Marine forecasts, wind, seas, and atmospheric pressure

About the AI, honestly
Every plan reads the same ocean: satellite sea surface temperature on a 1 km grid, chlorophyll, salinity, geostrophic currents, productivity, live buoys, tides and NWS marine alerts. Every report, free or paid, is written from that same data.
A free account gets one full report the moment you pick your water, and one more for a morning you choose. The paid plan buys a fresh one every morning, before you leave the dock, delivered to your inbox.
The morning report is written by a leading reasoning model, with a backup writer standing behind it, so a provider outage costs us money rather than costing you a report. Paid reports then get a second pass where AI vision reads the actual satellite charts, picking up front shapes, eddy spirals and filaments that are hard to pick out of a grid of numbers. That second pass is the more expensive part of the report to produce.
We tell you this because a report you cannot check is worth nothing. Every report also states how old each satellite layer is, and says so plainly when a layer is stale or a backup source is in use.
Built By A Captain
FishIntel is built by Captain Kit Carson, a licensed charter captain running offshore out of Islamorada, Florida Keys.
25+ years in digital media. 11 years on the same boat.
This isn't some Silicon Valley tech bro guessing about fishing. This is a captain who reads satellite charts every morning before running offshore, who built the tool he wished existed.
FishIntel was co-founded by Captain Kit Carson and Alan Lanham.
Stop guessing. Find your water.
Fish smarter with AI-powered satellite intelligence, read fresh every morning before you leave the dock.
