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.

STRUCTURE

The south end of Hat Island, also called Gedney Island, sits in Marine Area 8-2 in central Puget Sound near Seattle, where depths range from 30 to 150 feet over a mix of drop-offs and structure. Lingcod hold on this bottom structure through the winter, peaking in January and again from February through April, and respond to jigging with metal jigs, leadhead jigs with swimbaits, or bucktail jigs. Chinook Salmon move through in summer with a peak from July to September, while Coho Salmon run from June into October, both taken by trolling cut-plug herring, whole herring, flashers with hoochies, or trolling spoons. Rockfish stay catchable across the full year and take metal jigs, leadhead jigs, swimbaits, and shrimp flies worked near the bottom. Anglers work the deeper edges near the drop-off for lingcod and rockfish while running salmon gear along the same contour lines.
