Prompt ""Fishing Time Recommendation Generator"" by "ismail bejja" - AIPRM for ChatGPT

What the Prompt does

  • Gathers Real-Time Data: The prompt uses live crawling to pull real-time data from various websites and applications such as Tides4Fishing, Windy, Météo Maroc, and Fishbrain. This ensures the recommendation is based on current conditions like tide levels, weather, and lunar phase.
  • Provides Optimal Fishing Recommendations: It analyzes the collected data (tides, weather, wave height, etc.) to recommend the best time and ideal duration for fishing at Diplomatic Forest Beach in Tangier.
  • Integrates Multiple Factors: It considers critical variables including:
    • Tide levels (affects fish proximity to the shore)
    • Wave height (impacts fishing conditions)
    • Weather conditions (visibility, comfort, and fish activity)
    • Wind speed and direction (navigation of bait boats)
    • Lunar phase (influences fish feeding patterns)
    • Sunrise and sunset times (fish behavior and visibility)

Why It’s Useful:

  • Maximizes Fishing Success: By recommending the ideal times and duration based on real-time environmental factors, the prompt enhances the chances of successful fishing.
  • Improves Decision-Making: Fishermen can avoid unfavorable conditions (e.g., low tides, high winds) and plan their outings when fish are most active.
  • Saves Time: Instead of manually searching for conditions across different platforms, this prompt centralizes all relevant information in one tailored recommendation.

Tide Analysis for Tuesday, September 17, 2024:

  1. High Tides:
  • The first high tide occurs at 2:43 AM, with a height of 2.21 meters. This early morning high tide indicates that water levels will be higher, but given the time, it may not be the most convenient period for fishing.
  • The second high tide, at 3:00 PM, reaches a height of 2.48 meters, making it the highest point of the day. This peak tide is ideal for fishing as the rising waters bring fish closer to the shore.
  1. Low Tides:
  • The first low tide occurs at 8:36 AM, with a height of 0.3 meters. This low tide exposes more of the shore and decreases the chances of catching fish as they retreat to deeper waters.
  • The second low tide happens at 9:09 PM, with a height of 0.19 meters, making it an even less favorable time for fishing.

Weather and Wind Conditions:

  • The chart indicates moderate wind speeds, starting at 10 km/h in the morning and rising to 15 km/h by the afternoon. These manageable wind conditions make it suitable to use fishing equipment like a bait boat without major disruptions.
  • The weather forecast shows clear and sunny skies, with some cloud cover early in the morning. These conditions make for an ideal fishing day, especially when combined with moderate winds.

Moon Phases and Sunrise/Sunset:

  • Sunrise is at 7:07 AM and sunset at 7:26 PM. This period marks the best transition times for fishing, as fish are typically more active around dawn and dusk.
  • The moon’s phase affects the tidal movements and fish activity. The moon rises at 6:06 AM and sets at 7:17 PM, which may further influence marine life behavior.

Fishing Recommendation:

The optimal time for fishing on this day would be after the low tide at 8:36 AM, with the tide gradually rising toward the high tide at 3:00 PM. This is when fish are most likely to move closer to shore, making it the best window for fishing.

Conclusion:

Tuesday, September 17, 2024, presents favorable conditions for fishing in Tangier. The period between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM, when the tide is rising, combined with moderate wind and clear skies, makes for the ideal time to fish.

How I came up with it

I * Identifying a Problem: I noticed that when planning a fishing trip, anglers often rely on multiple sources to check tides, weather conditions, and lunar phases. This process can be cumbersome and time-consuming, especially when conditions change rapidly. I wanted to simplify this process by centralizing all the relevant data into one actionable recommendation.

  • Using Fishing Expertise: The idea was inspired by the well-known correlation between tides, lunar phases, and fish activity. Many experienced fishermen know that factors such as the lunar cycle and tide movements play a significant role in determining when fish are most likely to feed. By integrating these variables with real-time weather and sea conditions, I could enhance the fishing experience.
  • Leveraging Technology: Modern platforms like Windy and Fishbrain offer real-time data on sea conditions, tides, and even crowd-sourced information about fish activity. These platforms make it possible to pull data from various sources, ensuring a more accurate and dynamic recommendation. I realized I could use live crawling to gather this data automatically, providing a detailed and updated fishing recommendation.
  • Automation and Convenience: The goal was to automate a previously manual and fragmented process, offering users a centralized solution. Instead of looking at separate weather forecasts, tide charts, and lunar calendars, this prompt would bring all the data together and present it in an actionable format.

By combining environmental factors, real-time data, and technology, I developed a prompt that simplifies fishing planning and enhances the chances of success on the water.

More insights

  1. Integration of Multiple Factors: Fishing success is influenced by several natural factors, and the prompt integrates them all. Studies show that tide movements greatly affect fish behavior, as fish tend to feed during rising and falling tides due to increased water movement bringing food sources closer to shore . Similarly, lunar phases impact fish feeding patterns, with certain phases (e.g., new and full moons) creating stronger tides and therefore higher fish activity .
  2. Real-Time Data for Better Decision-Making: Live crawling ensures that the data used is up-to-date and reflects the current situation. Whether it’s real-time weather updates from Windy or tide information from Tide-Forecast, having dynamic, live data helps fishermen adjust their plans as needed. This is particularly crucial in locations like the Atlantic coast, where conditions can change rapidly.
  3. Focus on User Convenience: One of the main insights driving this prompt is the simplification of the decision-making process. By pulling together diverse information sources into one comprehensive recommendation, it reduces the cognitive load and saves time. Fishermen no longer need to consult multiple apps or websites. Instead, they receive a tailored, consolidated recommendation, improving their experience on the water.
  4. Technology-Assisted Fishing: The idea also draws from the growing trend of smart fishing tools that use technology to enhance traditional fishing practices. Platforms like Fishbrain allow users to share their catches and track fish activity using GPS and community data. Incorporating these elements provides a holistic view of the best times to fish, which is more accurate than relying on general conditions alone.
  5. Environmental Responsiveness: Using real-time data ensures the prompt is responsive to changing conditions. Whether it’s sudden weather changes or unexpected shifts in water levels, having access to live updates can help prevent wasted trips and ensure that fishing is done during the most favorable conditions. This responsiveness reflects the nature of fishing itself, where timing and conditions are everything.
