Important Disclaimer

The information provided by ArtaFishal, including AI-generated advice from the Skipper assistant, does not constitute professional fishing guidance, marine navigation advice, environmental management advice, or any other form of professional consultation. Always use your own judgement and consult qualified professionals where appropriate.

ArtaFishal provides weather forecasts and marine condition ratings for informational purposes only.

Weather conditions can change rapidly and without warning. ArtaFishal aggregates data from multiple third-party sources including Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), WillyWeather, and Open-Meteo. We have no control over the accuracy of data provided by these services and do not guarantee its accuracy.

ALWAYS check official Bureau of Meteorology forecasts and marine warnings before heading out on the water.

ArtaFishal is NOT a substitute for:

• Official BOM weather forecasts
• Marine safety equipment (EPIRB, radio, life jackets)
• VHF marine radio weather updates
• Local knowledge and experience
• Common sense and situational awareness

All fishing advice, spot recommendations, and tactical suggestions are provided as general guidance only.

Skipper's advice is generated by artificial intelligence (Claude AI) and may not be accurate. AI analysis of sonar screenshots and bathymetric charts is for educational purposes and should not be solely relied upon.

Success is not guaranteed. Fishing conditions, fish behaviour, and catches are unpredictable. We are not responsible for unsuccessful fishing trips.

You are solely responsible for:

• Vessel safety and seaworthiness
• Carrying required safety equipment (life jackets, EPIRB, flares, etc.)
• Checking weather conditions from official sources
• Assessing marine conditions before departure
• Making informed decisions about going on the water
• Complying with maritime safety regulations
• Knowing your vessel's capabilities and limitations
• Having appropriate insurance coverage

While ArtaFishal provides size and bag limit information, regulations change frequently and vary by location. It is your responsibility to verify current fishing regulations before fishing.

Check official Queensland Fisheries regulations at Queensland Fisheries

In case of emergency, always call:

• Emergency services: 000 (police, ambulance, fire)
• Water Police: VHF Channel 16 or 131 444
• Volunteer Marine Rescue: VHF Channel 16

ArtaFishal cannot provide emergency assistance. Always carry appropriate communication devices (VHF radio, EPIRB, satellite phone).
