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.

SPOT PROFILE
DEPTH
30-90 ft
Sand
STRUCTURE
Flat
Outer Exposed

West Bank is an outer-exposed sand flat off Anacortes, Washington, in DFO subarea 7, with depths running from 30 to 90 feet. The open bottom draws Pacific Halibut, which peak from March through July, alongside Lingcod at their best in February and March, with Pacific Cod, English Sole, and Rock Sole holding over the sand year-round. Anglers work the flat by drift fishing herring, salmon bellies, squid, or octopus for halibut, and switch to metal jigs, swimbaits, or leadhead jigs over any structure to reach lingcod. Chinook Salmon move through from June to August and Coho from June into October, both taken by trolling flashers, spoons, and cut-plug herring across the shallower edges of the flat. Dungeness Crab fill in from July through September, worked with crab pots baited with fish carcasses, clams, or chicken.
