Frequently Asked Questions

Bass Thumb AI is an intelligent fishing coach designed to help anglers catch more bass—both largemouth, spots, and smallmouth—by using real data, seasonal patterns, weather inputs, and your own catch history.


It learns your waters and your style, then gives personalized recommendations that get better over time.

What is Bass Thumb AI?

Bass Thumb AI analyzes:

  • Barometric pressure

  • Wind, cloud cover, and moon phase

  • Recent catch logs

  • Seasonal and local patterns

  • Your gear preferences and past success

Then it delivers real-time suggestions for:

  • Best lure for right now

  • Rod & reel setup

  • Location and depth

  • Presentation style (retrieve speed, cadence, etc.)

It’s like having a fishing guide and a data scientist in your pocket.

How will Bass Thumb AI help me catch more fish?

How does Bass Thumb AI learn over time?

Every catch you log trains your personal model.

Over weeks and months, the app identifies trends you won’t remember yourself, like:

  • “Your best smallmouth days happen in low pressure when the moon is full.”

  • “You consistently catch largemouth on a green pumpkin creature bait under cloudy skies.”

  • “Your jerkbait bite peaks every April.”

Season over season, it builds a personalized fishing memory that your brain cannot replicate.

  • Pattern-driven AI coaching

  • A nationwide “angler graph” of bite trends (anonymous)

  • AI trip planning

  • Lake-specific seasonal playbooks

  • Smart rod-locker: recommends setups you already own

  • Guided river float routes

  • Photo recognition for catches, lures, and fish health

What is the long term vision for Bass Thumb AI?

Yes. Each water body gets a growing record of:

  • Leaderboard for smallmouth and largemouth caught

  • Average size

  • Best-performing lures

  • Historical seasonal trends

  • Personal records

  • Great for comparing lakes/rivers when planning a trip.

Does it track LMB and SMB records for each lake/river?

You can enter as much or as little as you want.

A catch log typically includes:

  • Species

  • Photo of the fish

  • Length/weight

  • Location (GPS optional)

  • Lure used

  • Depth

  • Water temp

  • Notes

Bass Thumb will pull in weather, moon phase, tide, and barometric pressure automatically.
