What's biting around Tampa Bay

Species guides: how to find them, what to throw

1 · When to go

How's the bite this week?

CastPlan reads the tide, water temperature, season, wind, weather and time of day for your water and gives every day this week a fish and a word, from Tough to Great. Pick the day that's worth going.

2 · Go together

Plan it, invite your crew

Pick the spot, the time and the fish. Send your crew one link: everyone sees the plan, who's going and who's bringing what.

3 · Get ready, then get help at the water

Step by step, start to catch

Rig and bait cards show how to tie on and hook up, one step at a time. At the water, I'm Fishing Now keeps the next move, the rig and your catch log in reach.

Built in Bradenton

Made by a dad who fishes

CastPlan is made in Bradenton, Florida, by a dad who fishes Tampa Bay with his boys. It's the app we wanted for our own trips: when to go, who's coming, and what to tie on.
