This invention describes a fish finder that helps anglers predict where their fishing gear will end up. It takes details about the fishing lure or net, where it's dropped, and the ocean's currents at different depths. Using this information, the system calculates how much the gear will drift and its final location, even using a database to store drift patterns for various gear types.
Why it matters: Since 2022, advancements in oceanographic data collection and machine learning for hydrodynamic modeling have made real-time, multi-layer drift prediction significantly more accurate and feasible.
