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
Drop Off
Mid

Point Beals is a rocky drop-off in DFO subarea 11 off Gig Harbor, Washington, where the bottom falls from 260 to 655 feet along a mid-exposure edge. The structure holds lingcod, which peak from February through April and respond to jigging with metal jigs, swimbaits, and leadhead jigs, along with live herring or greenling worked close to the rock. Pacific halibut move through from March into July and take drift jigging with leadhead jigs, metal jigs, herring, or salmon belly across the deeper reaches of the slope. Chinook salmon fill in from June through September and Coho from July into October, both worked by trolling flashers with hoochies, trolling spoons, and cut-plug herring above the drop. The spot also produces rockfish, Pacific cod, squid, and spiny dogfish through the season.
