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.

Rock
STRUCTURE
Pinnacle
Mid

Davidson Rock is a rocky pinnacle rising from the seabed off Bellingham, Washington, in DFO subarea 7, with mid-level exposure and depths running from 40 to 180 feet. The structure holds lingcod, which peak from November through February and again March through June, alongside aggregate rockfish that show best March through September and cabezon strongest from October through March. Chinook and coho salmon move through the area in summer, with Chinook peaking June to September and coho June through October, while Pacific halibut fill in the April to August window. Anglers work the pinnacle and its rock edges with jigging for lingcod, rockfish, and cabezon, running leadhead jigs with swimbaits, metal jigs, and bucktail jigs down along the structure, and drop back to live bait drifting with live greenling or herring when lingcod hold tight to the rock. For salmon, downrigger trolling with whole herring, spoons, hoochies, and flashers covers the water column over the deeper edges.
