A system and method for generating a location-specific, date-specific, numerical forecast indicative of future fishing conditions (e.g., bass fishing conditions). Because water is an insulator that is affected by weather conditions for longer than a single day, fishing conditions are affected by both the current weather conditions in a and weather conditions that occurred in that location in the recent past. Accordingly, uses a rules-based process that captures the specific weather conditions that affect fishing conditions over the specific time period that those weather conditions continue to have an effect.

A system and method for selecting alternate global positioning system coordinates is provided. The system generally comprises a geolocation device, processor operably connected to the geolocation device, and non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon. The instructions instruct the system to select alternate GPS coordinates based off geospatial data received by the processor as well as parameters of the system that may limit the alternate GPS coordinates in which the system may select. The parameters may be selected within a user interface of the system.

A line management system for an outrigger structure is provided for guiding outrigger cords through cord passages to maintain an independent longitudinal displacement in order to prevent entanglement. The system includes a plurality of outrigger cords, cord management units, and retention devices. The plurality of cord management units are coupled to the outrigger structure and are longitudinally spaced one from the other along the outrigger structure. Each of the cord management units defines a plurality of transversely offset cord passages respectively guiding predetermined ones of outrigger cords to maintain an independent longitudinal displacement relative to the outrigger structure.

A terminal control program according to the present disclosure causes a terminal apparatus to perform: receiving model information and version information that have been automatically transmitted from a fishing electric reel in response to a first request transmitted according to a user's operation; storing a reel control program of a latest version of the fishing electric reel of a model indicated by the model information; transmitting the reel control program of the latest version to the fishing electric reel, in a case where a version indicated by the received version information does not match the latest version; and changing a screen for setting or displaying reel information to the screen that corresponds to the reel control program of the latest version.

A fish catching device includes a modular frame member having a buoyant device secured to a first side of the frame member and the second side of the frame member is capable of being secured to a watercraft. The frame member incorporates a plurality of apertures. A plurality of one-way doors is provided, each hingedly secured to the frame and cover an individual aperture. The device is configured to rest above a surface of water permitting a fish to jump through any of the doors thereby causing the fish to slow its trajectory and direct it to enter the watercraft.
