Question 1

How can I earn money with FishDay?

Accepted Answer

There are two ways to earn with FishDay. First, sell your Best Days on the Marketplace — other anglers pay tokens for your proven fishing spots with real weather data. You keep 80% of each sale. Second, create referral promo codes and share them with friends — you earn 10% of every token purchase they make using your code.

Question 2

How does the Marketplace work?

Accepted Answer

You can list any of your Best Days for sale on the Marketplace. Set your price in tokens, add a description, and choose which area to show on the map. Buyers get a copy of your Best Day with the exact weather data from that trip — they can use it to set up their own Bite Monitor and get alerts when similar conditions return. Your original data stays private.

Question 3

How much can I earn from Marketplace sales?

Accepted Answer

You set the price for each listing. When someone buys your Best Day, you receive 80% of the sale in tokens. The remaining 20% is a platform fee. For example, if you list a spot for 50 tokens, you earn 40 tokens per sale. Popular spots near cities or with rare species can sell many times.

Question 4

How do referral promo codes work?

Accepted Answer

Create a promo code in your Dashboard. Share it with friends or on social media. When someone uses your code to buy tokens, they get a 10% discount and you earn 10% of their purchased tokens as a bonus. For example, if a friend buys a 1000-token package with your code, you receive 100 tokens.

Question 5

Can I use my own promo code?

Accepted Answer

No. Promo codes cannot be used by the person who created them. They are designed to reward you for bringing new users to FishDay.

Question 6

How do I cash out my tokens?

Accepted Answer

All your earnings — from Marketplace sales and referral bonuses — go to your token balance. You can exchange tokens for real money at a rate of 1000 tokens = $50. Go to your Dashboard, find the Referral Codes section, and click "Cash Out Tokens". Minimum withdrawal is 1000 tokens.

Question 7

What is a Location in FishDay?

Accepted Answer

A Location is your saved fishing spot with coordinates and details like water type or access notes. Locations are used to log Best Days and create Bite Monitors.

Question 8

What is a Best Day?

Accepted Answer

A Best Day records one of your most successful fishing trips — the location, species, date, and all the weather conditions from that day. FishDay uses this data to predict when similar conditions will come back.

Question 9

What is a Bite Monitor?

Accepted Answer

A Bite Monitor tracks current and forecast weather at your fishing spot and compares it to your Best Day. It tells you how similar today's conditions are and whether it's a good time to go fishing.

Question 10

How does the weather analysis work?

Accepted Answer

FishDay compares multi-day weather patterns using pressure, temperature, wind, humidity, cloud cover, and precipitation to calculate a similarity score. The higher the score, the closer today's weather matches your Best Day.

Question 11

How do automatic weather checks work?

Accepted Answer

Auto-check runs once per day at the time you choose. It compares the forecast with your Best Day, saves the result, and sends you an email alert — so you never miss a great fishing day.

Question 12

What are tokens used for?

Accepted Answer

Tokens power all weather analyses: saving weather for a Best Day (6 tokens), comparing today vs your Best Day (10 tokens), and forecast analysis (16 tokens). New accounts start with 35 free tokens. Cached results do not spend tokens.

Question 13

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your Locations, Best Days, and Bite Monitors are only visible to you. If you choose to sell a Best Day on the Marketplace, buyers see an approximate area on the map — not your exact coordinates.

Question 14

Which weather providers are supported?

Accepted Answer

FishDay uses multiple weather services (WeatherAPI and WorldWeatherOnline) with automatic fallback. If one provider returns incomplete data for a parameter like pressure or humidity, the system automatically fetches it from the other provider.

Question 15

What is the best barometric pressure for fishing?

Accepted Answer

The best barometric pressure for fishing is between 1006 and 1020 hPa (29.70-30.12 inHg) with a falling trend. A rapid drop of 3-8 hPa over 24 hours triggers a pre-frontal feeding frenzy — the most productive fishing window. Stable pressure between 1010-1025 hPa produces consistent fishing. Avoid very high pressure above 1030 hPa which causes fish to become lethargic.

Question 16

What are the best weather conditions for fishing?

Accepted Answer

The best fishing conditions combine: falling barometric pressure (1005-1020 hPa), stable water temperature in your target species range (65-75°F for bass, 50-65°F for trout), light wind (5-15 km/h) from the south or west, overcast skies (60-100% cloud cover), and light rain or pre-rain conditions. The most productive period is 2-12 hours before a weather front arrives.

Question 17

What water temperature is best for bass fishing?

Accepted Answer

Largemouth bass are most active at 65-75°F (18-24°C). Smallmouth bass prefer 60-71°F (15-22°C). At these temperatures, bass metabolism peaks and they feed aggressively. Below 50°F (10°C), bass become lethargic and require slow presentations. Above 80°F (27°C), bass move deeper to find cooler, oxygen-rich water.

Question 18

Is it better to fish before or after rain?

Accepted Answer

Fishing is generally best 2-4 hours before rain arrives. As a storm approaches, barometric pressure drops and fish enter an intense pre-frontal feeding period. During light rain (2-8 mm), fishing remains excellent. After heavy rain, wait 2-4 hours for water clarity to stabilize.

Question 19

How does wind affect fishing?

Accepted Answer

Wind creates surface currents that push plankton and baitfish toward the windward shore, attracting predators. Light to moderate wind (5-15 km/h) is ideal, creating surface chop that provides cover. Consistent wind is better than gusty. South and west winds generally bring better fishing conditions.

Question 20

How do you predict the best fishing day?

Accepted Answer

Check 3-day weather forecasts for approaching fronts with falling barometric pressure. Verify water temperature is in your target species optimal range and has been stable for 1-2 days. Look for overcast skies with light wind. Compare conditions to your past successful trips. FishDay automates this by comparing current weather to your personal best fishing days.
