Catch the anglers before they hit the ramp.
A guy checked the fishing outlook at 5am, saw stripers are moving, and needs bunker before first light. Captain’s Pick puts your shop right under that bite report on his screen — not the big-box store off the highway.
The top tackle slot in your town is open right now.
No card required. See your own views and booking taps before you pay anything.
Built for Shore bait shops and tackle counters from the Bay Bridge to the seaside.
The problem? You’re already the best, but nobody can find you.
You’ve got the freshest bunker on the creek and the guy behind the counter knows every pothole on the flounder grounds. The problem isn’t your inventory — it’s the stop they make somewhere else because they didn’t know you open at 4:30.
Your Facebook group reaches anglers who already know your name. Google shows every tackle aisle in a 30-mile radius. Meanwhile a fisherman leaving the motel opens our app, checks the bite report, scrolls to nearby businesses — and drives to the shop at the top.
He didn’t choose them over you. He never saw you were open, stocked, and three minutes from the ramp.
The app decides who’s at the top. We’re offering you that spot.
📍 Top of “Nearby Businesses”
When an angler is within a few miles of your shop, you’re the first business on their home screen — positioned right where they look after the fishing outlook. The digital version of being the shop they pass on the way to the boat ramp.
💬 Inside the local conversation

There’s one top bait shop slot per ramp area. The shop that holds it gets the 5am stop and the “we need bait now” tap. Whoever claims it first keeps it until they cancel.
