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
Drop Off
Mid

Long Point is a mixed-bottom drop-off in Marine Area 8-1, sitting off Oak Harbor, Washington, where depths fall from around 260 to 660 feet along mid-exposure structure. Pacific halibut hold here through their March to June peak, worked with drift jigging using leadhead jigs, metal jigs, or soft plastic swimbaits, and backed by bait fishing with herring, salmon bellies, octopus, or squid. Lingcod concentrate on the rocky edges in February and March, taking metal jigs, leadhead jigs with swimbaits, and bucktail jigs, with live greenling or sanddabs as an alternative over the same structure. Chinook and coho salmon move through from June into September and respond to trolling with flashers, spoons, hoochies, or cut plug herring, with mooching whole or cut plug herring an effective supporting approach. The deep drop-off also holds canary, copper, quillback, and yellowmouth rockfish alongside Pacific cod and spiny dogfish across the same depth band.
