Features
Built for the way UK fisheries run
From the card on the peg to the money in your account. Features marked PRO are part of the Pro plan, which is opening to pilot venues first: talk to us.
At the peg
Everything an angler needs, one scan away
Anglers scan the card on their peg with their phone camera. CastTracker opens in the browser, so there is nothing to download.
QR peg cards
Design A5 cards with your logo, colours and contact details, then download and print them. Reprint a lost or damaged card by its peg number.
Exact casting boundaries
Draw each peg's allowed area on a satellite map. Anglers see the maximum cast in wraps and metres and their reach to the left and right.
No-fish zones
Mark islands, margins and other areas that are out of bounds, with a written description that anglers read alongside the map.
Rules that stay current
Set rules for the fishery, each lake and each peg. Change them once and every peg shows the new version straight away.
Weather at the lake
Current conditions, the pressure trend and a seven-day outlook on every lake and peg page.
Free roam when you want it
Lift boundaries for a lake that does not need them. Anglers can fish and log catches anywhere on it.
Catches
Know what is coming out of your water
Every catch an angler logs at your venue lands in your dashboard, with the conditions it was caught in.
Catch reports
Species, weight, notes and photo, with weather, pressure and moon phase added automatically. Anglers choose what they share.
Named fish
Keep a registry of the fish your regulars come back for. Anglers claim catches and suggest names, and you approve every one.
Daily email at 8am
Yesterday's catches and today's bookings in one email to your managers. Each manager can turn it off.
Catch analysisPRO
Catches over time and by species, time of day, weather, pressure, moon and peg. Shown as shares of logged catches, never as made-up catch rates.
HeatmapPRO
Where on each lake the fish are being caught, and how many catches each peg has produced.
Bookings and payments
Take bookings without the phone calls
Bookings are part of Pro. Anglers pay no booking fee, and payments go straight into your own Stripe account.
Book by peg, by place or by lakePRO
Let anglers pick their peg, book a number of places, or book a whole lake. Single and double pegs are handled for you.
Your tickets, your pricesPRO
Day, night, 24 hours or your own. Set prices, how far ahead anglers can book and your cancellation and refund rules.
Card paymentsPRO
Anglers pay by card when they book, through Stripe. Money goes to your account, and refunds follow your rules.
Tickets at the pegPRO
Anglers who turn up without a booking buy a ticket when they check in at their peg. Or let them pay the bailiff instead.
Phone bookings and closuresPRO
Add bookings taken by phone, and close pegs or dates for matches and work parties. Double-booking is impossible.
Booking emailsPRO
Anglers get their confirmation, cancellation and refund emails automatically, plus a reminder if a ticket is still unpaid.
Running the venue
Manage the fishery from your phone
The manager dashboard works on any phone, tablet or computer.
Who's on
See which pegs are taken right now, who has checked in, and which tickets are still to be paid.
Close a peg or lake
Flooding, bank work or a match: close it in seconds and anglers see it straight away.
Your team
Invite bailiffs and other managers. Owners manage the plan, payments and the team; editors run the day to day.
Guided setup
A short guide for the basics, then a checklist that ticks itself off as you go, so you can finish setting up over a few visits.
Local services
List tackle shops, takeaways and places to stay near you, and choose which lakes each one shows on.
Publish when you are ready
Your fishery stays hidden while you set it up. Publish it when you are happy, and hide it again at any time.
