All Your Fishing Features
in One App
You have got one app for logging catches, another for finding spots, a group chat for fishing buddies, and a folder of photos you will never find again. What if one app did the whole job?
GilledIt is an all-in-one fishing app built for American anglers — covering bass, walleye, trout, panfish, and saltwater. Every feature is free. Works offline.

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 lure you were throwing the last time you caught that 8 lb largemouth. Quick Cast lets you log a catch in under 30 seconds — before your buddy even nets the fish.
Learn more →Social Feed
Like Instagram, but everyone actually cares about your fish photos. Share catches, swap tips, earn bragging rights.
Learn more →Fishing Map
Find your next spot without combing five Reddit threads. Browse fishing spots near you, filtered by species and community reports.
Learn more →Marketplace
Move that rod you impulse-bought and never used. Or score a deal from a local angler. Secure Stripe payments, no shady DMs.
Learn more →Challenges
Weekly contests with friends — loser buys the breakfast tacos. Climb leaderboards, earn 30+ badges, compete for Catch of the Week.
Learn more →Messaging
Find a fishing buddy who actually shows up at 5am. DM anglers, send offers, and plan sessions without leaving the app.
Learn more →Stats & Profile
Finally know if you're 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 everyday anglers, not tournament pros
150+ US species, a USD marketplace, NOAA tide data, and pressure-trend bite alerts. GilledIt is built for the angler launching their kayak before work, not the bass-boat tournament circuit.
Works offline — because fish don't wait for signal
The best spots are always in dead zones. Log catches with full species autocomplete, photos, and GPS coordinates even without cellular signal. Your data syncs automatically when you're back on Wi-Fi.
