Red Alert
Flip to redfish and the whole app re-scores for reds: shallow flats and marsh edges, tailing fish on high water, pond drains on the fall, sight-fishing days, and the fall bull red run at the passes.
Patent pending technology
Speckled trout & redfish · Louisiana & Mississippi coast
Know where the specks are before you launch.
SpeckSignal reads the tide, wind, salinity, water temperature and water clarity across the coast every hour, then tells you which marsh, which cut and which hour gives you the best shot at trout. Red Alert for redfish is coming soon. Built on decades of catch and water data.

Features
Built for the marsh, not the open Gulf.
Most fishing apps give you a moon chart and a weather icon. SpeckSignal looks at the things that move trout and redfish in brackish water: falling tides through narrow cuts, wind that muddies one shoreline and leaves the other clean, and fronts that flush shrimp out of the marsh.
Decades of data
Scores are tested against 40 years of speckled trout and redfish catch records, matched to the salinity, water temperature and clarity on the day they were caught. Not guesswork, not folklore.
Spot scores
37 fishing areas from Calcasieu to Pascagoula, each scored from Tough to Prime, with the reasons spelled out in plain language.
Heat map
See where the water should be hot across whole bays, play it forward through the day, and step back three days or ahead seven.
Shrimp funnels
Cuts and pond drains mapped across the marsh, ranked by how hard they run on the falling tide. Zoom in for the small, fast ones the big maps miss.
Bait flow
Watch bait and shrimp move through the cuts with the tide and the wind, and see when a funnel turns on.
Calm-water picks
When it blows, SpeckSignal finds the lee shorelines where the water stays clean enough to fish, and skips the ones that will be chocolate milk.
Rigs & platforms
3,900+ rigs and platforms from the marsh edge to more than 30 miles out, each scored for the day, with live radar so you can watch weather before you run offshore.
Trip planner
"Saturday out of Hopedale, 18-foot bay boat, I like throwing soft plastics." Get a plan with the launch, the order of spots and the times.
Catch log
Log a trip in a few taps. Your catches feed back into the model so the scores keep getting closer to what you see on the water.
Best days
The top three spots for each of the next seven days, so you can pick your day off before the weekend crowd does.
How it works
Read the water the way a guide does.
SpeckSignal refreshes the coast every hour from dawn to night and turns it into something you can act on at the ramp.
STEP 1
Read the conditions
Water levels, tides and currents, salinity, water temperature, wind and fronts, and water clarity, across every marsh and bay we cover.
STEP 2
Score the water
Each area and each hour is scored on what drives trout and redfish in brackish marsh: salinity, temperature, tide movement, wind and clarity, plus the shape of the shoreline around it. The scoring is tested against four decades of trout and redfish catch records from these same waters.
STEP 3
Pick your window
Open the map, check the best days, read the reasons, and go. When you log the trip, the model learns from it.
