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
DEPTH
146-428 ft
Mixed
STRUCTURE
Drop Off
Inner Protected

Sandy Point sits in the protected inner waters off Olympia, Washington, within DFO subarea 13, where a mixed-bottom drop-off falls through depths of 145 to 430 feet. Chinook Salmon are the headline fishery, peaking from June through September, followed by Coho Salmon that hold from July into October. Trolling drives the salmon action here, with flashers, cut-plug herring, trolling spoons, and hootchies worked along the contour where the bottom breaks away. Anglers also mooch whole or cut-plug herring on banana weights through the same depths, and jig metal or leadhead jigs when fish stack near structure. Beyond salmon, the drop-off holds Pacific Halibut, Lingcod, and a range of bottomfish including Black Rockfish, Copper Rockfish, Cabezon, and Pacific Cod.
