Interpretation
Pressure trend is still building from recent samples. Current pressure is available, but there needs to be more readings before it can be interpreted.
Pressure is only one signal. Wind, tide, solunar timing, water movement, and local structure still matter.
Pressure movement
Recent readings build the pressure trend used for interpretation.
Pressure trend chart will appear once more readings are available.

Can Getfished tell if fish are biting at Cape Nelson, today?
No. Because no forecast can truthfully guarantee whether fish are biting at a specific spot right now. Getfished shows the current fishing conditions instead: tide movement, solunar timing, weather, wind, pressure, marine conditions and fishing report, derived, species history.
Use this information to make informed decisions about where to fish, and to compare conditions across nearby locations. Try different locations, different bait and lures. Remember to use berley and try to target a specific fish species in season.
