SIRIUSXM MARINE FISH MAPPING

Whether you’re competing in a tournament, fishing for fun, or taking clients on a charter trip, SiriusXM Marine’s Fish Mapping can help you locate fish faster – saving time and fuel. Fish Mapping identifies locations in the ocean with the highest likelihood of finding the fish that you’re seeking to catch. The service is satellite-delivered, providing coverage up to 150 NM offshore and is compatible with Garmin, Simrad, Lowrance, Raymarine, and Furuno hardware.

The fishing recommendations feature shows locations oceanographers identify as having the ideal conditions for specific types of game fish – billfish, kingfish, mahi, swordfish, tuna, and wahoo. These are shown as color-coded circular areas on your boat’s display. Fish Mapping displays the locations of weed lines, which are habitats for bait fish and attract game fish. You can also view plankton front strengths and concentration contours which show areas where plankton fronts exist, where murky, nutrient-rich water favorable for bait fish occurs next to clear, predatorpreferred water. Fish Mapping’s sea surface temperature contour lines, front strength, and 30m sub-surface temperatures, will help you zero in on water temperatures for your target species. Lastly, sea surface height anomalies will show you where ocean fronts and convergence zones create nutrient-rich water that attracts bait fish and game fish, and identifies downwelling locations, which you’ll want to avoid. You can combine any of these features on your display so you can see where you want to fish before you leave the dock and while you’re out on the water.

Fish Mapping includes all of SiriusXM Marine’s weather features like radar, lightning, and wind/wave info, allowing you to know the conditions ahead. Plus, you can add SiriusXM entertainment with over 150 channels of music, news, sports and more to keep you and your passengers entertained.
