Why TideBrief

Most anglers we know spend more time researching where and when to fish than they do actually fishing. Ten browser tabs. Five Facebook groups. The state DNR site that takes ten minutes to find anything. The local tackle shop where the gossip is gold but you have to be there in person.

TideBrief replaces all of it with one beautiful, trustworthy, zero-effort email a week. Tuned to your exact ZIP. Built from live public data — USGS gauges, NOAA weather, state stocking schedules, solunar tables — drafted by AI in the voice of a friend who happens to be a pro guide in your zone.

What we're not

• Not a social network. No feeds, no likes, no noise.
• Not a forum. No arguing about lures.
• Not a regulations database. We extract signal, not volume.
• Not an app. Email-first, mobile-web second. App is v2.

How we make money

Subscriptions only. $3.99 to $14.99 a month, depending on plan. No ads. No data sales. No upsells we'd be embarrassed to send to our own family.

How we make the brief

Every week, we ingest data for your zone from USGS, NOAA, and state agencies. We normalize it, deduplicate it, hand it to Claude (the AI model from Anthropic), and ask for a brief in our voice — short, honest, action-oriented, every claim cited. A rule-based fact-check passes before anything reaches your inbox.
