What others are saying about ReelCaster Pro
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.

Golden Point Hump is a rocky pinnacle off Oak Harbor, Washington, rising through mid-exposure water in Marine Area 7, with fishable depth running from 30 to 90 feet. The structure holds a deep rockfish community—rougheye, darkblotched, sharpchin, and shortraker—alongside lingcod that peak in February and March and sablefish along the harder bottom. Pacific halibut work the spot from March through June, while Chinook salmon move through on their June-to-September window. Anglers target lingcod by jigging metal jigs or leadhead jigs with swimbaits over the rock, and drift jigging leadhead and metal jigs across the pinnacle produces halibut on the deeper edges. For Chinook, trolling flashers and spoons or mooching whole and cut plug herring covers the passing fish through summer.
