Abstract: RTFISH is an integrated field (app) and online software (computer) solution designed to alert and help fisherman determine the optimal times and locations where to fish, for a specific species of fish. RTFISH mathematically analyzes real-time and historical water and weather data and compares physical and species-specific biological preferences to calculate the probabilities of a stream, river, lake, reservoir or any monitored body of water, meeting the ideal fishing conditions for any given species of fish.  Traditionally, fisherman have relied on local contacts, or their own personal knowledge of a body of water, to plan for a fishing trip that yields strong numbers of hookups. With RTFISH, any fisher person now has the ability to predict the probability of ideal fishing conditions and locations based on scientific and mathematically-based calculations. This removes the guess-work when predicting the best times and locations to fish based on fishing conditions and provides fisher people with the knowledge to more effectively plan their next fishing trip and prepare themselves with the right baits and fishing techniques necessary to improve their fish catch/hook-up ratio.  RTFISH also provides the platform for social sharing of fishing photos and associated meta data for future use and based on user-preferences defined by the user. RTFISH combines multiple visuals into a single graphical user interface, complete with real-time water condition graphs, fish success prediction charts, location maps, optimized tackle selections and real-time social media feeds.
