All Your Fishing Features
in One App
You've got one app for logging catches, another for finding spots, a WhatsApp group for the lads, and a shoebox full of photos you will never find again. What if one app did the lot?
Explore the features below, or just download it. It's free.
Everything a weekend angler needs
Seven features. One free app.
Each feature is designed to solve a real problem for hobbyist anglers, not tournament pros with bass boats.
Catch Log
Remember what bait you used last time you caught that 20lb carp. Quick Cast lets you log a catch in under 30 seconds, before your mate even gets the landing net sorted.
Learn moreSocial Feed
It is like Instagram, but everyone actually cares about your fish photos. Share catches, swap tips, and earn pub bragging rights.
Learn moreFishing Map
Find your next spot without asking dodgy blokes on forums. Browse fishing spots near you, filtered by species and community reports.
Learn moreMarketplace
Shift that gear you impulse-bought and never used. Or pick up a bargain from a local angler. Secure Stripe payments, no nonsense.
Learn moreChallenges
Weekly comps with your mates, and the loser buys the bacon butties. Climb leaderboards, earn 30+ badges, and compete for Catch of the Week.
Learn moreMessaging
Find a fishing buddy who actually turns up at 5am. DM anglers, send offers, and organise sessions without leaving the app.
Learn moreStats & Profile
Finally know if you are actually getting better or just getting luckier. Track personal bests, species counts, and monthly trends.

Why choose an all-in-one fishing app?
One app instead of five
Weekend anglers do not want to learn five different apps. GilledIt combines catch logging, social sharing, maps, marketplace, challenges, messaging, and stats in a single download. Fewer apps, more fishing.
Built for UK anglers, not tournament pros
110 UK species, a GBP marketplace, British weather tracking, and rod licence season awareness. GilledIt is not designed for bass boats on Lake Okeechobee. It's built for blokes on the local canal.
Works offline, because fish don't wait for signal
The best swims are always in dead zones. Log catches with full species autocomplete, photos, and GPS coordinates even without mobile signal. Your data syncs automatically when you are back on the M1.
