I’ve been using ReelCaster for about a month and I love it! Having all the conditions listed together is really handy and makes deciding when to go a no brainer instead of checking multiple apps and sites to get wind, current, sea conditions and tides. I highly recommend ReelCaster!

ReelCaster has completely changed how I plan my fishing trips. It brings together tides, currents, wind, swell, and water temperature in one place, then pinpoints the best times and locations to fish. It saves me time and gives me real confidence I’m on the water when conditions are ideal.

ReelCaster was very helpful in helping me figure out where and when to fish! I was lucky enough to catch a 7 lb Coho right off the beach. The info that the app provided was really helpful and it saved me the trouble of looking at multiple sources to figure out tides, weather, and regulations.

Sand
STRUCTURE
Flat
Mid

Harbor Rock is a flat, sand-bottomed spot off Anacortes, Washington, sitting within DFO subarea 7 at mid exposure with depths running from 10 to 60 feet. The area draws Chinook Salmon from June through August and Coho Salmon across a longer stretch from June into October, while Pacific Halibut peak from March through July and Lingcod turn on earlier in February and March. English Sole, Pacific Cod, and Kelp Greenling round out the mix over the open sand. Anglers work the salmon with trolling using cut-plug herring, flashers, and trolling spoons, or switch to mooching and jigging when fish hold deeper along the flat. Halibut hold near bottom in the deeper end of the range, where drift fishing with herring, squid, or salmon bellies covers ground, and Lingcod respond to metal jigs and swimbaits worked close to the sand.
