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

Mid

Leo Reef is a mid-exposure sand flat off Oak Harbor, Washington, in Marine Area 7, holding water between 20 and 60 feet. The reef supports a broad mix of species, with lingcod peaking February through March and Pacific halibut running strong from March into June, followed by Chinook and coho salmon that peak June through September. Rockfish, Pacific cod, English sole, and sablefish round out the bottom fishery across the year. Lingcod come to jigging with metal jigs, leadhead jigs paired with swimbaits, or bucktail jigs worked over the sand, while halibut respond to drift jigging with leadhead jigs, metal jigs, and soft plastic swimbaits along the flat. When the salmon move through, trolling flashers, spoons, hoochies, and cut plug herring covers water efficiently over the open bottom.
