Fish New Lakes at the Best Times
Weather is everything when you’re on the water, from predicting feeding patterns to simply knowing how much time you’ve got before that storm rolls in. Get real-time weather information and detailed forecasts so you can fish at the best times in the best conditions.
Use the Lunar Calendar for Better Fishing
Follow fish movement and potential feeding windows as the moon makes its transit. onX Fish provides weekly and monthly lunar cycles to help anglers predict when fish are most active.
Track Barometric Pressure for Fish Behavior
Fish react strongly to changes in barometric pressure, so predicting changes in an hourly forecast for your location can unlock opportunities to anticipate fish behavioral shifts. Falling pressure (before a storm) can cause fish to become more active and feed aggressively, as can longer periods of stable pressure. Rising pressure or unsteady barometer readings due to repeated fronts can cause fish to be more neutral to negative.
Real-Time Wind, Temperature, and Weather Conditions
Plan more effectively with real-time wind speed and direction information, along with forecasts to position your boat or change access points to find a wind-blown shoreline. Use hourly and extended forecasts to stay ahead of storms, temperature shifts, and weather patterns while avoiding dangerous conditions.
Plan the Best Fishing Times With Major/Minor Feeding Periods
Fish, especially species like musky, walleye, and bass, follow daily feeding windows influenced by the moon. Major feeding times occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot. Minor feeding times happen when the moon is rising or setting. See these times at a glance for any lake to time your trip perfectly.

“Weather patterns and moon phases play a key role in muskie fishing, directly impacting their movement and feeding behavior. Changes in barometric pressure, incoming storms, and major moon phases like moonrise, moonset, and full moons can get muskies fired up! OnX Fish keeps anglers ahead of the game by providing real-time weather updates, solunar data, and barometric pressure by the hour, helping you be in the right place at the right time.“
