From bank to journal in three taps

No spreadsheets. No fiddly forms in the rain.

Just a photo and a tap. CastLog does the identifying, measuring and record-keeping while you keep fishing.

Log a catch, conditions auto-filled
Step 1

Snap & auto-fill

Take the photo. Location, water temperature, air pressure and weather attach themselves automatically.

AI identifies the fish
Step 2

Identify the fish

Claude Vision recognises the species and estimates weight and length straight from your picture, with field notes.

Catch logged to your journal
Step 3

Logged for good

It lands in your private journal, updates your personal bests and feeds your season stats.

The smart bit

It knows a Largemouth from a Smallmouth.

Point CastLog at your catch and Claude Vision reads the scales, fins and body profile to name the species, then estimates the weight and length from the photo alone. Confident enough to back itself, honest enough to show you the runners-up.

  • Weight & length from a photo

    Computer-vision sizing, no scales or tape needed bankside.

  • Field notes that teach you

    Why it's that species, and how to tell it from look-alikes.

  • Tuned for US & UK species

    Bass, carp, pike, trout, panfish and more, not a generic global guesser.

Confirmed by the highly irregular, large scattered scales arranged in patches along the lateral line, the defining feature distinguishing it from the fully-scaled Common Carp.

Trip planner

Plan your fishing with AI.

Pick the water and the day, CastLog does the rest. It reads your log and the live forecast to build a complete trip plan: which species to target, the bait, rig and method for each, a pack-and-buy list, and the exact dawn and dusk windows when the fish will feed.

  • Ranked tactics, species by species

    Bait, method and rig for each fish, in the order worth trying.

  • Pack & buy checklist

    Everything to grab before you go, tickable on the bank.

  • Best bite windows

    Dawn, dusk and moon phase from the forecast for your chosen day.

Plan it yourself for free, or let CastLog AI build it, one free AI plan a day, or unlimited with Pro.

Questions, answered

Everything you need to know.

Is CastLog free?

Yes. CastLog is free to download and includes catch logging, your private diary, personal bests, stats, tides, river levels and the weekend outlook, plus 3 free AI fish identifications and 1 free AI trip plan every day. CastLog Pro makes the identifications and trip plans unlimited.

How does the AI fish identification work?

Photograph your catch and CastLog uses Claude Vision to read the fins, scales and body profile, name the species, and estimate its weight and length from the photo alone, then saves it to your journal with the conditions.

Does CastLog work in the US and UK?

Yes. CastLog covers 500,000+ named fishing waters across the United States and United Kingdom, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, canals and the coast, and is tuned for US and UK species like bass, carp, pike, trout and panfish.

What is the AI Trip Planner?

Pick a water and a day and CastLog builds a full session plan: the best bite windows (dawn, dusk and moon phase), ranked tactics with bait, method and rig for each species, a pack-and-buy tackle list, and a conditions outlook, all from your log and the live forecast.

Do I need an internet signal at the bankside?

No. You can log catches offline at the water with no signal, and CastLog syncs automatically when you are back in range.

Is my fishing data private?

Your catches, photos and notes are yours. Photos are only sent for AI identification when you tap Identify, and are never used to train models. Nothing is shared unless you share a catch picture yourself, and we do not sell your data.

How much does CastLog Pro cost?

CastLog Pro is £4.99/month or £39.99/year, with a 7-day free trial. It removes the daily limits: unlimited AI fish identifications and unlimited AI trip plans with tackle lists. Catch logging, stats, personal bests, tides and river levels stay free.

Does CastLog know UK close seasons and fishing rules?

Yes. CastLog shows whether the river coarse close season is on, the current bass rules and what you may keep, and can remind you before your rod licence runs out. Venue rules and regional byelaws can be stricter, so check those too.

Does CastLog automatically log the weather and conditions for a catch?

Yes. Location, water temperature, air pressure, weather and moon phase all attach themselves automatically the moment you log a catch, no manual entry needed.

Can I see my personal best catches and season stats?

Yes. Every catch feeds your private journal, which tracks personal bests by species, your best month, what is biting where, and season-vs-year-vs-all-time stats.

Is my catch log backed up if I change phone?

Yes. Sign in with Apple or email and your catch journal, stats and saved trip plans are kept in your account, so they follow you to a new iPhone or iPad.
