FISH SPECIES

Recommended locations where fishing conditions are favorable, by species

Use the information below in conjunction with the individual Fish Mapping features to help you identify locations with favorable fishing conditions for your target species. In general, areas with any fishing recommendations, regardless of the specific species shown, demonstrate locations that are much more likely to have bait fish and the other key oceanographic features that attract game fish. If you don't see recommendations in the area where you want to fish, we recommend that you overlay individual Fish Mapping Features like Plankton Front Strength and Sea Surface Temp Front Strength in to determine the areas where fish are most likely to be found.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How often will information update from the satellites to your boat and to the Fish Mapping App?
Updated every 3 hours:
  • Sea Surface Temperature Contours
Updated every day by 5 AM (ET):
  • Sea Surface Height Anomaly
  • Sea Surface Temperature Front Strength
  • 30m Subsurface Temperatures
  • Weed Lines
  • Plankton Concentration
  • Plankton Front Strength
Updated every Tuesday and Friday by 5 AM (ET):
  • Fishing Recommendations
Why do weed lines appear and disappear?
There are several reasons weed imagery can be blocked by cloud cover causing the satellite to not see them. Additionally, weeds can be moved by winds, waves and currents, and they can also disperse and sink below the surface.

Will there be additional fish species added to the Fishing Recommendations feature?
The following 6 species are the current list of Fishing Recommendation locations. More species may be added in the future.
  • Tuna
  • Mahi
  • Swordfish
  • Billfish
  • Wahoo
  • Kingfish
What hardware do I need for Fish Mapping service?
You will need to have a Garmin GXM 54, Raymarine SR200, Simrad or Lowrance WM-4, or Furuno BBWX4 receiver/antenna installed on your boat. Information on compatible hardware can be found here.

What are the areas where the Fish Mapping service is available?
SiriusXM Marine Fish Mapping subscribers are able to receive service from anywhere within the SiriusXM satellite footprint, which blankets the 48 contiguous states, Southern Canada and international waters extending hundreds of miles into the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. See Coverage Map .

Will I always see Fishing Recommendations in my area when using Fish Mapping?
Fishing Recommendations are locations oceanographers recommend with the ideal conditions for finding specific types of game fish. Locations are based on their expert analysis to help you find the types of fish you’re looking for, faster. Note that if conditions are not ideal for the selected species in your area, a Fishing Recommendation zone will not be displayed. In this case, use the other Fish Mapping features in combination to find the most favorable fishing conditions in areas you plan to fish.

Dolphinfish Research Program Logo
Dolphinfish Research Program release

Check out the Dolphinfish Research Program (DRP)!

While dolphinfish, also known as mahi-mahi, are one of the most common game fish caught in the Atlantic Ocean, very little is known about the migration and overall health of the species.

The DRP is the world's largest public tagging system for dolphinfish. Since 2002, the DRP has worked with anglers around the world to tag and release dolphinfish. This data has enabled the DRP to chart the migratory nature of dolphinfish throughout the Atlantic Ocean – critical information necessary to improve dolphinfish management and ensure conservation of the species.

To support DRP and join other anglers who are tagging dolphinfish to improve our knowledge of their life history, movements, and population dynamics, request a free tagging kit at the link below. Whether you hit your daily limit or not on dolphin, if you find small fish consider tagging some for conservation.
