Viewing Fishing Information
The fishing screen shows present water temperature, present surface pressure conditions, and fishing
forecasts.
From the Home screen, select
Surface Pressure
Surface-pressure information appears using pressure isobars and pressure centers. Isobars connect
points of equal pressure. Pressure readings can help to determine weather and wind conditions in
an area. High-pressure areas are generally associated with fair weather. Low-pressure areas are
generally associated with clouds and the chance of precipitation. Isobars packed closely together
show a strong pressure gradient. Strong pressure gradients are associated with areas of stronger
winds.
Pressure units are shown in millibars (mb), inches of Mercury (inHg), and hectopascals (hPa).
