Bite Compass is free to use. Forecasts, tides, your catch log and the map's wind, wave and tide layers are free, and they'll always stay free.
Premium gives every fish you chase its own bite times, not just one, and adds the map layers that show where the water's worth fishing, with no ads. It also pays for what's next on the roadmap.

Use marine seagrass and sand edges. Low light and night are useful, but daytime squidding remains worthwhile. Water clarity and jig depth matter; the local peak season is not a feeding cutoff.
Why This Window
Night feeder with some daytime feeding; feeds on moving water, best on the high. Comfortable in 11–23 °C water, prefers settled water.
Based on its feeding habits and the moon, plus time of day, forecast wind, forecast tide, and marine surface temperature.
Fish sand patches beside seagrass, including through midday. Depth and bottom habitat matter; these are different grounds from the very shallow flats used for yellowfin whiting. Juvenile feeding studies do not calibrate adult catch rates.
Why This Window
Daytime feeder with a little after-dark activity; feeds on moving water, best on the high. Comfortable in 13–23 °C water.
Based on its feeding habits and the moon, plus time of day, forecast wind, forecast tide, and marine surface temperature.

Fair Questions
How Does the Free Week Work?
Pick a plan and enter your card. Nothing is charged for 7 days, and Premium unlocks straight away. We email you when it starts and again the day before it ends, with the date and the exact amount. Cancel before then and you pay nothing. If you don't, your plan starts and the card is charged. One free week per person and card.
Can I Stop Whenever I Like?
Yes. Cancel from your Plan page any time and Premium runs to the end of the month or year you've paid for. You won't be charged again.
What Happens to My Spots If I Stop?
Nothing is deleted. Your spots and alert settings stay, the free allowances apply again, and your oldest alert keeps running.
Do I Get Money Back If I Cancel Halfway?
Not for the rest of the period. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law still apply: if Premium has a major failure, or we remove a main feature you paid for, ask us for a refund through the contact page (Billing, refunds or account help).
What If the Price Goes Up?
We email you before your next renewal at the new price, so you can cancel first.
