Thanks for this info! There is a lot of information to process on the Smart Spots app and this video was tremendously helpful.
One of the best videos you have produced. You guys are awesome. I’m going to keep watching this one until I master the use of all the options. Mind blowing.
Thank you, Lawrence! We appreciate you.
Joe outstanding video and the information is awesome …… I’m in hopes that being an insider salt strong member that I do have the smart fishing app already …. I thought for sure that I had it because I could pull up lots of the information you spoke about and have visualized the areas in which I fish and it does in fact show much of the information you spoke about …. I am just not all that savvy with computers and iPhones therefore it is sometimes difficult for me to get the things I look for and want to see and utilize…..
Also week ago week I got the opportunity to get back out in the water and first time for the new boat and myself being on the water due to medical issues….. However, I’ve never seen the water so dirty and brown down in St Augustine inshore and the Inter coastal just bad fishing conditions …. However, not being able to get out there for three years and back in the water it didn’t matter as we still had fun and even managed to catch h a few fish ….. As soon as I get the pictures and the video from my fishing partner I will post and post my profile photo as well … Go to be back fishing and on the water…… !
I do enjoy the app. It would be nice to have it find some water deeper than 2 feet that is good to try as well. I fish from a boat and need at least 1 foot of water to not get stuck. The few places I have found that I can get to have provided fish.
Awesome video!!! Quick and to the point, loved it!! Love the Smart Spots fishing app too!
We appreciate you, Dallas!
Awesome stuff Joe, thanks SS team for all you do !
Thank you, Stan!
why is there a difference between the chart maps depth and the actual depth. Why is the tide and time not considered, or how do I use this properly. Love the app.
Hey William!
Are you referring to the contour lines or marine charts? Either way, they are static (which is standard even with the most expensive apps and units). Marine charts always report the depth at low tide (to prevent getting stuck) and the contour lines report an average depth. So the tide is not considered with these numbers. These numbers are more for finding relative depth changes. Hope that helps.
Smart fishing spots has awesome information and getting better every day. Stay safe.
Thank you, Edgar!
I am confused on the Private Catch Log. If I am on the water, land a fish, post immediately it uploads all the data? Or, can I make sure my location settings are on, take a picture at the time of the catch, and when I make the post after i get home it will load the data and the spot?
You nailed it, James. It’s all about the location turned on. We uploaded pictures from 8 years ago on our phone and it instantly knew the exact spot, tide, wind, temp, etc. Pretty awesome! We’ve had some members upload over 1,000 old pictures (assuming location was turned on) and it maps out all of it for you (all private)
Thanks, great feature!
Pa-POW! Thanks James
That answered my question, as well @Joesph Simonds. I was confused about how it generated location and data. I did not want to use the pin point filter while posting a fishing report. enough people already know about my spots! LOL …
Terrific tool, Joe! It has upped my fish catching quota by a long shit!! Keep up the great work and all the upgrades!
Thank you, James. Much more to come!
