How it works

Booking a pond, and listing one, step by step

Search, request, approve, fish, get paid. Here's exactly what happens on each side.

For anglers

Booking private water

1
Search near you
Open the map and browse private ponds near you. Each listing shows photos, species, depth, access details, house rules, and the host's price — hourly or a flat day rate.
2
Request your date and time
Pick an hourly slot or a full day, depending on what the host offers, and say how many anglers are coming. You'll agree to the liability waiver and the host's rules before you send the request.
3
Wait for the host to approve
The host sees your request and decides. Use in-app messaging to ask about parking, gates, or what's biting.
4
Pay and fish
Payment is handled securely through Stripe in the app. Show up within your window, follow the rules, and enjoy the quiet.

For pond owners

1
Connect your bank
Create a host account and connect a bank account through Stripe. That's the only setup requirement.
2
Publish your listing
Add photos, location, species, depth, and capacity. Choose an hourly rate or a flat day rate with your time window, and write your house rules.
3
Approve requests
Each request shows the date, time, and party size. Approve or decline — nothing is booked automatically.
4
Get paid after each trip
Funds are released after a 24-hour hold once the booking completes, then Stripe deposits to your bank. You keep 100% of your rate.
