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.

SPOT PROFILE

15-42 ft
Rock
STRUCTURE
Pinnacle
Mid

Strawberry Island Hump is a rocky pinnacle rising through 15 to 40 feet of water off Oak Harbor, Washington, in Marine Area 7, with mid-level exposure that keeps the structure fishable across the season. Chinook and Coho Salmon both peak here from June through September, while Pacific Halibut move through in the March to June window and Lingcod concentrate in February and March. Trolling flashers, trolling spoons, hoochies, or cut plug herring covers the salmon over the pinnacle, and mooching whole or cut plug herring works the same water when fish hold tighter to the rock. Halibut respond to drift jigging with leadhead jigs, metal jigs, or soft plastic swimbaits along the base of the hump, with herring, squid, or octopus on bait as a follow-up. Lingcod hold on the rock through late winter and take metal jigs, leadhead jigs with swimbaits, or bucktail jigs worked close to the structure. Canary Rockfish and Blue Shark also range over the pinnacle.
