LakeMonster advances lake science and environmental stewardship by providing accessible, data-driven insights on lake ecosystems to researchers, communities, and recreational users.
We are committed to preserving and protecting our lakes and waterways for future generations through responsible and sustainable practices.
We launch initiatives like lake cleanups, safety education, and webinars on lake ecosystems, often partnering with public agencies and NGOs to promote lake safety.
We are dedicated to educating the public about the importance of our natural water resources, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of their value.
We dedicate a portion of subscription and ad revenue to mission-related activities, such as developing open-source lake science tools and providing free data access for nonprofits.
Our thermal data, sourced from multiple providers, offers varying update frequencies to ensure accurate and timely information. Typically, the information refreshes every 1-5 days, contingent on satellite passes and factors like cloud cover. When examining your lake's thermal map, you can easily access the collection date for the most up-to-date and reliable data to enhance your fishing experience.
We gather infrared readings of surface water from satellite-based sources and compile them to create a precise heatmap layer for each lake, providing valuable insights for many uses, including fishing, recreation, and environmental monitoring.
Monthly historic average water temperatures can be accessed, with data extending as far back as 2018, offering valuable insights for understanding seasonal patterns and planning your fishing trips.
Our findings indicate a strong correlation between satellite surface temperature readings and in-situ measurements like those from boat transducers, especially over larger areas. While not always an exact match at a specific point due to factors like mixing and time differences, the data is highly effective in identifying relatively warmer and cooler zones within a lake, guiding your fishing strategy towards more productive areas.
Download the LakeMonster app from the App Store or Google Play, create a free account, and start exploring lakes in your area. When you want the full planning edge, you can upgrade to Pro for premium layers, lake comparisons, and deeper decision-making tools.
