02
Eddy watches
Eddy checks water temp, river levels, weather and fish stocking every day, so you don't have to.
03
Text from the water
Text Eddy what you see. Eddy texts back a lure and a depth to try. It's a good start, not a promise.
Sample messages
Exactly what you'd receive. Plain text, from Eddy.
Eddy here - your fishing buddy from ThirdCoastAnglers. I'll text when it's worth going, you bring the coffee. Reply HELP for help, STOP to end. Msg&Data rates may apply.
Eddy here - Manistee River: Prime tomorrow. The river is dropping back into shape. 26,490 Skamania steelhead stocked Apr 28. Go at dawn. Try a nymph, like a pheasant tail. (Live river data) Text me what you see - I'll tell you what to tie on. Reply STOP to end texts.
Eddy here - Saginaw Bay: Good today. Light chop building - that's walleye weather. Go at dusk. Try a jig and minnow. (Weather only)
Manistee River: Prime today (88 out of 100). Try a nymph, like a pheasant tail in olive. Where: runs, mid-depth. No promises!
Skunked happens - and it still counts as a trip. The water was right, the fish just didn't get the memo.
