For buyers

Buy proven fishing spots — exact GPS in your app

Browse where fish are being caught, claim free spots or buy access — the exact pin shows up privately in the Fishing Codex app after you buy or claim. The public map never shows a real location.

How browsing works

The public heatmap shows a soft ~10 km glow over where listed spots are — never an exact pin, never a dot you can tap through. Browse worldwide or search your area, then open a listing to see the photo, the creator's description, and the conditions at catch. All of this is free, with no account needed.

Free claims — 3 for life

Every account gets 3 free claim slots for life — they never reset. Claim any free spot from a creator's public listing and the exact pin appears in your private Fishing Codex app for 5 days. With an active App Pro subscription, free claims are unlimited and every claimed spot stays on your map while the subscription is active. Redeeming a friend's invite code adds 3 bonus claim slots for both of you.

What you get after buying

After a purchase, the exact GPS pin appears on your private in-app map, together with the creator's photos, conditions and fishing tips. Access syncs into the app the next time it opens. A permanent snapshot is stored at the moment of purchase — your one-off or lifetime access survives even if the creator later removes the listing or deletes their account.

One-off, subscription, or lifetime

Choose how you buy: a one-off purchase of a single spot is permanent. A monthly or yearly creator subscription puts the creator's full bundle — plus all of their free spots — on your private map while it stays active. Lifetime access is a single payment for permanent access to all of a creator's spots, including every spot they list in the future.

Start with 3 free claims

Browse the marketplace, claim a free spot — no account needed to browse, an account is needed to claim or buy.
