Simply show the QR code associated with the permit you are using. This way, the fishing warden can check the history of your catches and accesses to verify their accuracy.
In general, yes, it is mandatory to record each outing/change of zone. Annual and seasonal permits with a predefined number of outings are based on the registration of at least one access during the day to count the day as 'used.' Therefore, we recommend always recording every outing to avoid penalties.
Although it is not strictly necessary for calculating remaining outings, we always recommend recording all catches. This is both for personal 'historical' reasons and to avoid penalties related to the regulations of individual reserves.
If you cannot find a particular reserve, it means it has not yet joined SpotFish. We recommend contacting the reserve directly and asking them to contact us.
Yes, with SpotFish, you can reserve limited-entry zones up to 3 months in advance.
Yes, SpotFish allows you to purchase future permits. These permits will be valid on/from the specified date on the permit itself and cannot be used before then.
Yes, during checkout, you can purchase the same permit for one or more friends. Simply enter the angler's phone number, and SpotFish will make the permit available directly in their app. This feature is specially designed for large groups of anglers who need to purchase multiple permits in bulk.
