Viewing Fishing Information
The shing screen shows present water temperature, present surface-pressure conditions, and shing
forecasts.
From the Home screen, select Weather > Fishing.
Surface Pressure
Surface-pressure information appears using pressure isobars and pressure centers. Isobars connect
points of equal pressure. Pressure readings can help to determine weather and wind conditions in
an area. High-pressure areas are generally associated with fair weather. Low-pressure areas are
generally associated with clouds and the chance of precipitation. Isobars packed closely together
show a strong pressure gradient. Strong pressure gradients are associated with areas of stronger
winds.
Pressure units are shown in millibars (mb), inches of Mercury (inHg), and hectopascals (hPa).
Water Temperature Data
Colored shading indicates the surface temperature of the water.

1. From the Home screen, select
Weather > Fishing > Menu > Fish Species.
2. Select a species of sh.
Shaded areas indicate optimal shing areas.
3. Repeat step 2 to show areas with optimal weather conditions for additional species of sh.
