Built for Port Phillip Bay and Western Port. Catch diary, virtual comps, fish records, live weather and bay maps. Pre-loaded starter spots so you can fish day one. Every fish you log makes you a better fisho. Free to use.
Plain English, no marketing speak. Every feature exists because a real angler — one of the 70,000+ following Reedy's Rigs — asked for it.
Most fishing apps show a road map with water on top. BayCast shows you the seabed itself — depth contours, drop-offs, holes, channels and reef edges for both bays. Built from public-domain AusSeabed bathymetry — the maps are free for everyone, the tool is what makes them useful.
Wind, tide, barometer, bite times, even fuel range. The stuff you actually need before a session, not 14 pages of generic Australia-wide weather.
Log a catch in 10 seconds. Take a photo. Done. Your sessions, your fish, your patterns — yours alone, on your phone.
Eleven trophies. Snapper Slam. Whiting King. Squid Specialist. We trust your numbers — but the photo has to be from the same day. Old phone-roll fish can't unlock new trophies.
A clean place to share. Anglers post bite reports — but it's totally up to them what they share. No likes, no algorithm, no randoms arguing in the comments.
Man Overboard pin in one tap. Emergency numbers one tap away. Heads-up when you're near a known dangerous bar. The stuff that matters when it matters.
Clean, fast, no junk on top. Built around what local anglers need to see, not what looks pretty in a brochure.
Depth contours for Port Phillip and Western Port. The holes, the channels, the reef edges, the drop-offs. The structure that holds fish — same info the pros use, just easier to read.
Every spot already on Google, the DPI website, fishing forums, public Facebook groups, magazine articles — pulled together so you've got them in one place. No bouncing between twenty tabs to find what's already known.
Wind. Tide. Satellite. Contours. Pick what you want, hide what you don't. The map should help you find fish, not bury you in icons.
Not 14 pages of weather data. The stuff you actually look at on the way to the boat.
Speed, direction, how it changes through the day. The single most important number for the bays — front and centre.
High, low, when it turns, how big the run is. Charts you can read at a glance instead of squinting at numbers.
Going up, going down, holding steady. The one most apps hide. Snapper anglers know why this matters.
Solunar best windows for the day. Plain visual bars, no astrology, no nonsense.
How far you can go on the fuel you've got, before you have to head back. Saves the day-trip from turning into a tow-trip.
Auto-updates from the official ACCC weekly fuel report. So you know what a session is actually costing you in petrol.
Not in your head, not in a notebook in the bin of the boat. Searchable, dated, with photos.
Species, size, time, photo. That's it. The diary writes itself as you fish.
Eleven of them. Each one unlocks when you actually catch the fish. Honest cabinet, fair to everyone.
We trust your size and species. We don't measure your fish. You're an adult — log it honestly.
The photo's file date has to match. On the boat, at the ramp, back at home — anytime that day. Old phone-roll photos can't unlock new trophies.
Some trophies need a few good fish in a row. Any 24-hour window counts — no need to start a "trip" first.
New year, new cabinet. Old years are kept, not deleted. Every January you start clean.
Unlock a trophy and BayCast can drop a short note in the reports feed. No GPS, no spot leak — just the fish and the trophy.
Snapper Slam, Whiting King, Squid Specialist, Calamari Hunter, and more. We add them as the seasons turn.
BayCast gives anglers a platform. Share whatever you want. Or share nothing. It's totally up to you.
Some anglers post "bite's on at sunrise" and that's it. Some share more. Some share nothing for months and just read what others post. Your spots stay your spots — we never share or sell anyone's location.
No likes-chasing. No algorithm deciding what you see. No randoms arguing in the comments. We built the room. You decide what to say in it.
It's a platform for sharing without the bullshit. That's it.
"I just want a platform without all the Facebook bullshit. We built the room. You decide what to say in it."— Brett Reed · Reedy's Rigs
