Lightning checks for anglers
See what is building around your lake, river, or pier before one more cast.
How can I see if a storm is moving toward my fishing spot?
Turn on radar to see radar and lightning together on the live map. The newest strikes show in red, so you can watch whether fresh activity appears closer to your lake, river, or pier.
Can I watch for lightning at my fishing spot from home?
Set the spot as your saved place and turn on Lightning alerts. Nearby alerts for that place have their own alert distance, and tapping one opens the live map before you even load the boat.
What do strike details tell me on the water?
Tap a marker to open its available details: how long ago it was detected, how far away it is, its direction, and whether it was ground-reaching or intracloud. Strength is shown as peak current in kiloamps.
