Cast Depot
Early access, invite only

From first cast
to expert angler.

The marketplace and community built by anglers, for anglers. Gear, guides, boats, and every water near you, in one place instead of ten.

We are in private preview and letting people in a batch at a time. Leave your details and we will send an invite when the next batch opens.

The waters

243,760

waterways, mapped across all 50 states.

Search any river by name. Browse your whole state. See what runs near you, what swims in it, and what the day looks like before you load the truck.

We don't burn spots.

Log a fish and it is yours alone. Cast Depot never asks for a pin or a set of coordinates, and a logged catch is never plotted on any public map. Describe your spot however you like, or not at all.

The map you can see is built from the public waters atlas. It has no idea where anybody caught anything. That is written into the code as a hard rule, not a setting somebody can flip later.

Know what beats what

107 New Jersey state records, checked one at a time.

Every one of them read off the state's own published list rather than copied from somewhere else, and split the way the state actually splits them, by water, by method, and by angler class. So the fish you are holding is measured against the right record instead of the nearest one. More states are loading.

New Jersey is live today.

Know your fish

Every species, drawn properly.

Identify what you caught, learn what is legal to keep, and fill a tank that grows with the fish you actually land.

For businesses

Run a shop, a boat, or a charter?

We are onboarding three kinds of business right now, and getting on before the marketplace opens means your listings are there on the day anglers arrive rather than after them. Tell us who you are and we will come to you.
