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.

Mixed
STRUCTURE
Flat
Mid

Danger Rock is a mid-exposure flat with mixed bottom off Oak Harbor, Washington, in Marine Area 7, holding water from 15 to 40 feet. The spot produces Chinook and Coho Salmon through their summer peak from June to September, while Lingcod fishing runs strongest in February and March and Pacific Halibut through the March to June window. Black Rockfish hold over the mixed bottom across a long stretch from February to September, sharing the ground with English Sole, Pacific Cod, and Kelp Greenling. Trolling flashers, trolling spoons, hoochies, or cut plug herring covers the salmon at these depths, with mooching whole or cut plug herring as a slower alternative. Lingcod respond to metal jigs, leadhead jigs with swimbaits, and bucktail jigs worked along the bottom, and the same jigging approach with metal jigs, leadhead jigs, or swimbaits takes Black Rockfish holding tight to structure.
