Bass science made simple®
Bass Forecast simplifies the complex science of tracking past and forecast weather, then putting all the pieces together in a fish-catching game plan. It is Bass Science Made Simple® and helps all Bass anglers plan like a pro.
What makes our ratings so accurate
The Bass Forecast Rating (BFR) is the only tool that considers all relevant environmental factors that affect Bass feeding behavior. Our team spent 12 months testing and tweaking our rating formula until it produced average catch rate outcomes that matched our desired rating system.
In a 6-month catch log blind study, with a prominent Bass Guide fishing the same lake every day, we found that GOOD and EPIC days produced 68% to 305% above average catch rates, while TOUGH and FAIR days produced 63% below average. Fishing is fishing and there will always be days that buck the trend, but the law of large numbers doesn’t lie.
Here are the environmental factors we use in the Bass Forecast Rating:
Barometer
The barometric pressure trend is a key leading indicator of upcoming weather, which affects bass feeding behavior.
Moon Phases
Our formula does adjust upward for new and full moon periods. While the data here is controversial, we always gather results and adjust accordingly.
Wind
In general, the higher the wind the better. Read “High Percentage Fishing” by Josh Alwine for industry best data on the wind.
Temperature
The most important factor affecting feeding mood is temperature trend toward the peak metabolic rate of Bass. We even account for the temperature transference time lag from air to water, since water is an insulator.
Sky Conditions
Which is better, sunny or overcast? In general, this also depends on the wind.
Peak Feedings
We do not currently adjust our ratings for these time periods as there is simply not enough conclusive data yet. Our Solunar data is GPS-specific, so you don’t have to do the math from printed tables anymore.
