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

Skookum Point is an outer-exposed rocky drop-off in DFO subarea 13, off Olympia, Washington, where the bottom falls away through depths of 260 to 660 feet. The structure holds Chinook Salmon at their peak from June through September and Coho Salmon from July through October, alongside a resident groundfish population that includes Lingcod, Pacific Halibut, Pacific Cod, and Black, Blue, and Copper Rockfish. Anglers work Chinook here by trolling flashers, cut-plug herring, trolling spoons, and hootchies, with mooching whole or cut-plug herring on banana weights a productive alternative along the drop. Coho respond to trolling flashers with hoochies, trolling spoons, and cut-plug herring, and to metal jigs when fish stack up over the edge. The steep rock contour concentrates both salmon and bottomfish, making the depth transition the focus of most effort at this spot.
