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
Outer Exposed

Lighthouse Point is an outer-exposed rock drop-off near Oak Harbor, Washington, in Marine Area 8-1, where the bottom falls away steeply through depths of 260 to 660 feet. Chinook and Coho Salmon are the primary summer targets, both peaking from June through September, while Pacific Halibut runs strongest from March into June and Lingcod concentrates in February and March. Anglers work the salmon here by trolling flashers, trolling spoons, hoochies, and cut plug herring, with mooching whole or cut plug herring as an alternative over the moving structure. The rocky drop-off holds Black Rockfish from February through September, taken by jigging metal jigs, leadhead jigs, and swimbaits along the edges. For Halibut and Lingcod, drift jigging leadhead and metal jigs works the deeper contours where the slope meets the current.
