01 — What OpenReel is
A planning tool, not a guess
OpenReel is a fishing-forecast platform for the Florida Gulf Coast. Every day it scores gulf reefs, wrecks, and ledges — and the entire bay, hex by hex — against the conditions each species actually responds to — water temperature at depth, tide and current, pressure trend, wind and sea state, bottom type, and moon phase.
The result is a planning tool. You see what the data says about a spot on a given day, next to the marine forecast and your own private numbers, and you decide what to do with it.

03 — Coverage
Today and ahead
OpenReel was built region-first: every new water plugs into the same scoring, weather, and bite models that run the Panhandle today. Adding a region is a rollout, not a rebuild — the template is proven, and it's scaling.
