Turns WDFW creel reports and NOAA current data into actionable fishing insights for Puget Sound anglers — with real statistical rigor under the hood.
wa-creel.jeremyveleber.comProblem
WDFW creel reports and NOAA current predictions exist as raw tabular data. Anglers had no way to turn that into real decisions about where and when to fish.
Solution
- Multi-metric analysis — CPUE, Poisson-based success rate, and a composite Hotness Score.
- Significance testing — expands date windows until sample sizes are reliable.
- Trip Planner wizard — weighted recommendations by species, area, and timespan.
- NOAA integration — slack-current windows via multi-station averaging.
Stack
Python with a custom HTTP server, SQLite + GCS persistence, interactive visualization with Leaflet + Chart.js, Dockerized on GCP Cloud Run with automated CI/CD via Cloud Build. Refactored from a 2,464-line monolith into single-responsibility ~300-line modules.
Outcome
A production analytics platform serving recreational anglers, built on 13 years of survey data — where statistical methods guarantee recommendations meet minimum confidence thresholds and respect current regulations.
