For guides, and the people who fish with them
Guided fishing trips, from the request to the recap.
Guides run their trips on Scout & Cast: the requests, the deposits, the meeting spot and the write-up afterward, in one place on the phone. Anglers get a page with where to be, what to bring and what to expect.

What it does
Requests, trip prep and recaps.
Trip requests on your calendar.
Anglers pick a trip and the days they could go from your page. Days you've blocked, or already have a trip on, are crossed out. Nothing is held or charged until you confirm it.
A trip page for the angler.
Where to meet and how to drive in, when to be there, what to bring, who's coming. The angler gets all of it on one page, and the conversation about the trip lives there too instead of in a text thread.
Trip recaps.
Mark spots and log fish on the water, one hand, wet screen. Afterwards the angler gets the day written up under your name — where you fished, what came up, and on what.
How a trip works
Request, prep, recap.
Each trip keeps its own list: where to meet, when you push off, who’s coming and what’s still owed.
- 01
An angler asks
An angler finds you by the water, picks a trip and the days that work for them. You get an email. Confirm a day or say it won't work — they hear back either way.
- 02
You set up the day
Set where to meet and when you push off. The trip keeps its own checklist — details sent, reminder the day before — and ticks itself off as those go out. Texted them instead? Tick that, and it moves on.
- 03
You write up the day
Drop spots and log fish while you're out. When you finish the recap it goes to the angler under your name, and the spots stay in your own record of the water.
Why it exists
More people should be on the water. One of the best ways to get there is a day with someone who knows it — where it fishes, how to read it, what the day actually asks of you.
Guides make their living on clean water and healthy fish, and they’re the ones who look after it. Most of their evenings go somewhere else: texts, emails, a spreadsheet and a notes app.
The requests, the prep, the deposits and the recap belong in one place on the phone, so the evening goes back to the water, or to family.

Questions
Questions guides ask.
Can anglers pay through it?
No. An angler requests a trip, you confirm the day, and they pay you the way they do now: cash, check, Venmo, Zelle. Log each payment on the trip and it keeps track of what's owed. Every screen and email tells them nothing's booked or charged until you say yes, so nobody thinks they've paid for something they haven't.
I already sort trips out by text. Do I have to stop?
No. Add the trip yourself and it gets the same prep, the same angler page and the same recap. If you texted someone the details instead of emailing them, tick that you did and the checklist moves on.
What does an angler see?
Your page: your trips, what they cost, and the waters you fish. After they ask for a trip, a page of their own with where it stands, and once you confirm it, where to meet, when to be there and what to bring.
Will my spots end up on the internet?
No. A spot you mark stays inside your service. Outside it, the only person who sees one is the angler on that trip, in their recap, on a private page search engines don't index. We don't put your spots on a lake page, sell them, or show them to any other guide service. The waters you add are public — that's how anglers find you. Where you fish on them isn't.
