BuoyPilot: Fishing & Boating

BuoyPilot helps boaters and anglers explore lake maps, report possible obstructions, check conditions, and plan time on the water.

COMMUNITY HAZARD REPORTING
Add a report by placing a pin on a lake map—even when you are away from the water. Choose an icon such as a tree, rock, stump, or no-wake buoy, share how you know about it, and help confirm other reports. Remote reports start as unverified community information. Posting a remote pin does not earn points; helpful confirmations from other users can contribute to community points.

Community reports may be uncertain, outdated, or incomplete. A buoy report does not establish an official no-wake area. Always obey posted rules and use safe boating judgment.

FISHING INTELLIGENCE
Choose a fish and explore a clearer Fishing page with species selection, water clarity controls, forecast windows, lure and bait ideas, and fishing factors. Official and local fishing reports include source information and links where available. Smart Fishing Zones respond to conditions on supported lakes and require BuoyPilot Pro. Free users can preview available fishing-zone forecast choices before upgrading.

LAKE MAPS AND CONDITIONS
View bathymetry on supported lakes, wind, weather radar, and available water-level information. Lake coverage and data availability vary. Depth maps and community markers are planning aids, not official navigation charts.

MARINAS AND TRIP PLANNING
Find marina details, open locations in Google Maps, and contribute fuel reports where available. Review boating and fishing windows with the Day Planner.

FISH ID AND CATCH LOG
Use AI fish identification and save catches to remember what worked. Free accounts include 3 AI fish IDs per month and up to 25 saved catches.

FREE AND PRO
Weather radar and bathymetry on supported lakes are available free. Optional BuoyPilot Pro adds Smart Fishing Zones on supported lakes, up to 10 offline lakes, detailed weather and Day Planner, 50 AI fish IDs per month, and unlimited catch entries. Offline information may become outdated; refresh downloads when connected. Subscription terms and prices are shown before purchase.

BuoyPilot is a community-powered planning and awareness tool. It does not replace official charts, posted warnings, local knowledge, or a proper lookout. Conditions change quickly. Verify official boating, fishing, weather, and water-level information, follow local regulations, and operate at a safe speed.
