How it works

From the week's read to the first cast, in three steps.

CastPlan turns tide, wind and weather into a plan: where to go, what to throw, how to rig.

  1. Step 1

    Check the week

    Home shows how the bite looks at your water for every day this week: a fish and a word, from Tough to Great, with the pick of the week and any day to skip.

    CastPlan's Home screen: How's the bite this week?, a fish and a word for each day.
  2. Step 2

    Open the day

    The full forecast is free. Each day shows its best window, the tide and wind, what to throw and how to rig it. It's a guide, not a guarantee.

  3. Step 3

    Get ready, then fish it

    Plan the trip and invite your crew. Get ready walks through your gear, the rig and the bait one card at a time, and I'm Fishing Now keeps the next move in reach at the water.

Confidence, not certainty

Fish ID says how sure it is instead of pretending every photo is conclusive.

Official regulation sources

CastPlan links to FWC pages and asks anglers to check the current rules.

Private by default

Sharing leaves out exact coordinates and private spot names unless you choose otherwise.
