Questions
Before you subscribe
Does the free site stay free?
Yes. Conditions, what is biting, bait, rigs, knots, recipes and the SC regulations pages stay open to everyone. Pro adds alerting, the longer forecast and history on top of that — it does not lock anything that is free today.
Can I cancel?
Any time, from your account page. You keep Pro until the end of the period you already paid for, and nothing you logged goes away when it lapses.
What do SMS alerts cost?
Nothing beyond your Pro subscription from us. Your carrier may charge for the message — standard message and data rates apply, and you can stop them by replying STOP at any point.
Does Pro make the fish bite?
No. The bite score is a model built from tide, solunar period, pressure trend, water temperature and wind. It tells you when the conditions line up, which is a different thing from a guarantee.
Do you sell my email or phone number?
No. Alert addresses and numbers are used to send the alerts you asked for and nothing else.
Something else? Support will answer it.
