Lack of fisheries in the north!
Top Customer Service
Doesn’t work
Fishery Management
Theres a lot of bad reviews here, most relate to being charged a fee, for something they see the fisheries should cover ….. that just gets passed back to members and guests. This product does give the angler options and opportunities to keep their costs down.
As a client, I’m happy, sure it could be better and having talked to the support staff, it will continue to improve.
As a volunteer running a fishery , it’s a massive improvement on trying to find outlets to sell tickets, which get lost, funds misplaced and outlets not open at 5am when someone wakes up and wants to fish.
Long review- in short - if you ain’t happy with the service, drop them a line. Then think about how the fisheries recover the costs of the alternative options.
Get a grip - it’s fishing for fun stop moaning

Response from developer
Hi, glad to hear you found Catch useful and can see the value in our Subscription options if you are booking multiple trips. We do indeed have a "Bookings" section within your Profile/Tackle Box, which should show you any Upcoming or Past bookings that you have made through Catch. If you are having issues seeing this information or have any other questions/problems, please reach out to support@gocatch.fish and we'll do our best to help you as we do care about your experience.
Payment model is at best annoying
Fundamentally your business model is broken. What value are you giving me as a customer for the money I’m paying? You’re providing nothing that I can’t get elsewhere for free. I can research lakes on the internet, I can contact them to check availability, I can book on without paying a fee. I’d be interested to know what you feel you’re offering me in addition for giving you my money?

Hi, Catch brings you convenience and certainty for your fishing trips, allowing you to plan and book in advance for your next sessions. We provide detailed information on fisheries and a secure, intuitive booking process to ensure you get on the bank with no fuss. The technology we have built (that anglers don't see) is the fishery side of technology, something that until now has been completely missing in the industry. This helps the fisheries to be more organised and effective in the day to day running of their venues. This keeps their costs down which prevents them charging more for tickets to anglers, so the net balance is there for the wider angler audience as fisheries would typically be increasing their prices far more than the small sum we charge to anglers. Our aim is to be transparent and as fair as possible to the industry, but the cost of technology as I'm sure you know is not cheap and we do need to charge, so a balance is needed to keep it fair, we are working hard to keep this balance as low as possible for everyone. I would be happy to answer any questions you have, just reach out to support@gocatch.fish with your details and I will gladly call you to explain in more detail. Remember if it's free you are the product!
Very poor
The whole buisness plan is wrong, if it was free to the end user then you would have a good idea. With the current set up, it’s destined to fail.
Make it free to the end user or this will fail.
The site is hard to navigate and not very user friendly.

Hi Steve, Catch brings you convenience and certainty for your fishing trips, allowing you to plan and book in advance for your next sessions. We provide detailed information on fisheries and a secure, intuitive booking process to ensure you get on the bank with no fuss. Each angler has the option to pay a booking fee on their bookings or subscribe and pay a monthly, 6 month or Annual fee and not pay any fee's at all on their bookings. We provide this choice and flexibility to suit all of our users. The technology we have built (that anglers don't see) is the fishery side of of technology, something that until now has been completely missing in the industry. This helps the fisheries to be more organised and effective in the day to day running of their venues.
