Viewing Fishing Information

The weather Fishing chart shows present water temperature, present surface pressure conditions, and fishing

forecasts.

From the Home screen, select Weather > Fishing.

Surface Pressure and Water Temperature Data

Surface-pressure information appears as pressure isobars and pressure centers. Isobars

equal pressure. Pressure readings can help to determine weather and wind conditions. 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.

Colored shading, as defined by the legend
