Frequently Asked Questions

Everything fisheries need to know about managing permits and anglers on the platform.

Getting listed is straightforward. Contact us through the platform and we will start your fishery profile creation. You will add your permit types and pricing, upload images, and set your availability. Once approved, your fishery will be visible to anglers on the platform.

We operate a simple transaction fee model. A fixed platform fee is applied to each permit sold through the platform. There are no upfront listing fees or subscriptions. You only pay when permits are sold.

Payouts are processed automatically to your registered bank account. You can view all sales, pending payouts, and transaction history from your dashboard. Funds are held briefly before payout to allow for the platform’s discretionary cooling off period. Full details are outlined in your agreement.

Yes. You can set daily or seasonal limits for each permit type within your dashboard. Once the limit is reached, sales will automatically stop, preventing overbooking. You can adjust availability at any time.

A discretionary 7 day cooling off period is supported within the platform. Beyond this, your fishery’s own cancellation and rescheduling policy applies. All terms are shown to anglers at the time of booking, and the contract remains between the angler and your fishery.

Yes. You can add bailiffs through your dashboard and assign them access. Bailiffs can verify permits using QR codes, log incidents, and support compliance on the water using the platform on their mobile device.

Anglers are prompted to submit a digital catch return after their session. They cannot make another booking for your fishery until a return has been submitted, including a null return where no fish were caught. You can view all returns within your dashboard, helping you monitor activity, track trends, and support conservation and reporting.

Yes. The platform provides opportunities to increase visibility through featured listings and seasonal promotion. These placements are managed to ensure quality and fair exposure across the platform.

Your public profile displays your fishery name, location, description, gallery images, available permit types and prices, fishing rules, species information, and a map embed. You have full control over all content through the Edit Fishery section of your dashboard, and changes are published immediately.

You can raise a support ticket directly from the Support tab of your Fishery Dashboard. Our platform support team will respond promptly. For urgent issues, you can also contact us by email. We aim to resolve all fishery-side queries within one working day.
