The marketplace
Fishing Codex is a marketplace where experienced anglers list their proven spots and other anglers buy or claim access. The exact location is never public — the public map shows only a fuzzed ~10 km zone.
A fishing spot marketplace lets anglers with hard-won local knowledge sell access to it, and lets other anglers buy access to proven water without spending years finding it themselves. Fishing Codex is that marketplace: creators list spots they have personally fished; buyers buy or claim access; the exact GPS goes to the buyer privately in the Fishing Codex app.
The public map shows only a soft heat glow over a roughly 10 km area — never an exact pin, never a dot you can tap through. The fuzz is deterministic and identical for every viewer: repeat visits, comparing accounts, or paying money can never narrow it down. Exact coordinates unlock privately only for the person who bought or claimed the spot, in their Fishing Codex app. The public can see roughly where fishing activity is — never where the spot actually is.
Some spots are listed free to claim — every account gets 3 lifetime claim slots. Free claims give 5-day access (unlimited and permanent with App Pro). Paid spots start at $2.99 USD. Three purchase types: one-off (permanent access to one spot), subscription (monthly or yearly access to a creator's full collection), and lifetime (one payment for all of a creator's spots forever). All buying happens on fishingcodex.com — the app shows no prices or buy buttons (App Store rules).
Publishing a spot stamps a roughly 500 m lockdown for about 90 days. No other creator can list a competing spot inside that zone while it is active. This keeps listings scarce, rewards active fishing, and protects the value of what was listed. Unlisting ends the lockdown early. When a lockdown expires, only spots caught after it ended can be listed in that area.
Browse spots worldwide — no account needed. An account is required to claim or buy.
