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
Drop Off
Mid

Kellys Point is a rock drop-off in Bellingham waters within DFO subarea 7, dropping through mid-exposure depths of roughly 260 to 660 feet. Chinook Salmon peak from June through September and Coho Salmon from June through October, with downrigger trolling for Chinook using whole herring, spoons, hoochies, and flashers, and trolling flashers and cut-plug herring for Coho along the structure. Lingcod hold on the rock through two windows, November to February and March to June, and respond to leadhead jigs with swimbaits, metal jigs, and bucktail jigs worked near the bottom. Pacific Halibut move onto the deeper edges from April through August, taken by drifting herring, squid, salmon bellies, and octopus. Black Rockfish and Kelp Greenling fill out the summer fishing over the same rock, with jigging metal jigs and leadhead jigs producing through the peak months.
