FINN · CAPTAIN ON DUTY

Every question you’d ask at the dock. Answered before you leave the driveway.

Finn is TrueTide’s fishing captain. He reads your spot’s corrected tide, the wind, the pressure, and what you’ve caught there before — then gives it to you straight. He’s not a chatbot with a boat sticker. He’s the correction engine with a voice.

Worth going tonight?
Yes — but not when the chart says. The northerly’s holding the water out about a foot. Real high hits your flat at 8:42, not 7:55. Be on the point by 7:50; window closes around 9:30.
Chart shows a big low Sunday morning. Wade the bar?
Careful. That southeast blow Saturday night stacks water in the bay — your “big low” will run about 8 inches short and 40 minutes late. The bar won’t expose the way the chart implies. If you go, go for the moving water at 7:15, not the low itself.
Why was the water so dirty at the creek mouth Tuesday?
Two days of 20-knot west wind piled chop against that shoreline and it was still draining when you got there. Same setup shows up Thursday. Fish the lee side of the island instead — corrected tide there is nearly the same and the water stays clean.
WHAT FINN KNOWS

Your spot’s corrected tide

Not the station’s opinion — the wind-corrected curve for the water you actually fish, confidence band included.

The weather that matters

Wind speed, direction, fetch, and pressure — what’s moving water now and what the next 48 hours will do to it.

Your history there

Log a catch and Finn stamps the conditions. Over time he learns what your spot produces on which water.

When to say nothing

No data, no answer. Finn cites what he’s working from and flags thin coverage instead of improvising.

WHAT FINN WON’T DO

Finn doesn’t guess.

When the conditions are junk, he says stay home — even though telling you to go would make the app look more useful. When the confidence band is wide, he says so. When he doesn’t know your water well enough yet, he tells you that too. The one thing he’ll never do is dress up a coin flip as a plan.

Ask Finn about your water Finn is part of the paid plan.
