Not sure if anyone knew this, but I ran across this the other day when I was looking to purchase the XM Weather for my Garmin Chartplotter.
When you purchase this feature for your chartplotter it comes with fishing predictions which displays information on your chartplotter where they think the best place to fish will be on any given day. After further research on this data it appears that state wildife biologists (such as the CCA) sells the data that they collect from our tagging to this company. The company then adds this to the lunar data and a computer can then spit out an even better predictions on the fishing hot spots based on where we have caught fish.
A very good piece of gear to have IMO, but a little pricey. I do plan on getting the XM weather this summer, not for the predication but for the invaluble weather data and alerts that it provides.
Just figured I would pass that info along to everyone.
Good luck on the water and hope to see everyone out there.
