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
Outer Exposed

Point Roberts / Reef Point (south) is an outer-exposed rocky drop-off in DFO subarea 7 near Bellingham, Washington, where the bottom falls from around 30 feet into deeper water near 150 feet. The structure holds Pacific Halibut from April through August and Lingcod across two windows, November through February and March through June, while Chinook Salmon run June through September and Coho follow June through October. Halibut come to drifting herring, squid, salmon bellies, or octopus over the deeper edges, and jigging leadhead jigs with swimbaits or metal jigs works the rock for Lingcod and the Black Rockfish that gather here June through August. Salmon fishing centers on downrigger trolling whole herring, spoons, hoochies, and flashers for Chinook, with trolling flashers and cut-plug herring for Coho along the same edges. The rocky exposure also supports Yellowtail Rockfish and Pacific Cod through the season.
