What we tested
A marine chart and fishing context were used to generate an AI-selected location, which was then tested by actually fishing it.
What this session suggests
AI can generate a location hypothesis from chart features, but the useful part is validating that hypothesis on the water rather than treating it as authority.
What this does not prove
The result does not show that AI can reliably find bass in general. The prompt, chart information, season and local context all influence the suggestion.
Why we publish the limitations
Sea bass fishing is a field environment, not a laboratory. Tide, water clarity, light, prey, fish movement and angler execution can all change during a session. A BassLureFish result describes what happened in the recorded test. Repeated tests in different conditions are more persuasive than any single score.
