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

15-40 ft
Rock
STRUCTURE
Pinnacle
Mid

Steamboat Flats Light is a rocky pinnacle in Marine Area 8-2 off Everett, Washington, rising through mid-exposure water at depths of 15 to 40 feet. The structure holds Chinook Salmon at their peak from June through August and Coho Salmon from July through October, with Pacific Halibut concentrated March through July and Lingcod strongest February through April. Trolling cut-plug herring, whole herring, flashers, and spoons works the salmon over the pinnacle, while mooching cut-plug herring covers the same fish through the tide. For Lingcod and Black Rockfish holding tight to the rock, jigging metal jigs and leadhead jigs with swimbaits reaches the bottom structure, and drifting herring or squid targets Halibut across the same depth band. Black Rockfish stay active from March into August over this rock, keeping the pinnacle productive well beyond the salmon runs.
