Fish like you've got a local guide in the boat.
Tell us the lake, the species, and the day. Bite Window reads the solunar windows, the weather, the front, and the season — and writes you a plain-English game plan: where to start, what to throw, and when the bite fires.
Free first plan · no card needed
Cold front cleared Thursday — start deep on the main-lake points, 12–18 ft, slow jig or dropshot.
Fish your best spot hard during the major. Move up as it warms, pick up the pace with a lipless crank.
Four apps in your head.
One plan.
It reads the same conditions a $400-a-day guide reads — solunar windows, the passing front, water temp, wind, season — and writes the strategy for you. No tables to cross-reference.
Start early on the main-lake points in 12–18 ft — the front pushed them deep, so slow down with a jig or dropshot.
Work your best spot through the 7:10–9:10 major. As it warms toward mid-morning, slide up to secondary points and pockets and speed up with a lipless crankbait or jerkbait.
The advice half of a guide — for the price of a couple of baits.
Every plan is built on the real, cited conditions for your exact lake, species, and date — and shows the reasoning. It's a guide's logic, written down. Not a number on a gauge. Not a hallucination.
- Where to start. Main-lake points, 12–18 ft — and why the front put them there.
- What to throw. A jig or dropshot now; a lipless crank as it warms — from what you own.
- When the bite fires. Be on your best spot for the 7:10–9:10 solunar major.
Conditions: cold front cleared Thursday, high pressure now. Water 58°F, pre-spawn. Light NW wind. Solunar major 7:10–9:10 AM.
Start early on the main-lake points in 12–18 ft — slow down with a jig or dropshot. Fish your best spot hard during the major.

No jig? A Texas-rigged craw does the same job down there.
It fishes your box.
Tell us what's in your box once. Bite Window only recommends what you actually own — and tells you the substitution when you don't have it. No 'go buy this $25 bait.' Just 'throw this, here's why.'
No jig today? → Texas-rigged craw does the same job down there.
It adapts as the day changes.
Marking fish that won't commit? Wind switched? Bite died? Tell Bite Window what's happening and it rewrites the plan — the way a guide would, all day long.
We're the advice layer — not the map.
We don't try to out-map Fishbrain or out-table the solunar apps. We do the one job none of them do: read today's conditions and tell you what to actually do. Plenty of anglers run us alongside the rest.

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. First time that's ever happened cold.”
“I stopped asking the hive 'what should I throw' on Friday nights. This is faster and it actually explains the why, so I'm getting better.”
“It told me to leave the jig in the box and tie on the lipless when the sun got up. Dead right. Felt like having a guide in my pocket.”
Before you launch.
Solunar apps tell you when. We tell you when, where, what, and why — synthesized into one plan for your exact lake, species, and conditions. The number is an input; the plan is the product.
The information already exists. The synthesis didn't.
Most anglers don't lose fish because they own the wrong gear. They lose a Saturday because they fished the wrong part of the lake, at the wrong depth, with the wrong bait, at the wrong time. The data to fix that is free and public — solunar windows, the front that blew through Thursday, the water temp climbing into spawn range. It's just scattered across five apps and locked in the heads of people who fish that lake every week.
Bite Window turns that scatter into one paragraph of plain-English instruction — the way a guide briefs you in the truck on the ride to the ramp. We're the reasoning layer, not another catch-map. That's the whole bet.
