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
Pinnacle
Outer Exposed

Tillicum Rock is an exposed rocky pinnacle off Olympia, Washington, in DFO subarea 13, rising through waters that range from the surface down to about 65 feet. The structure holds Lingcod along with Canary, Copper, and Black Rockfish, and Kelp Greenling work the rock edges, while Pacific Halibut sit on the deeper bottom. Chinook Salmon move through from June to September and Coho Salmon peak from July to October, tracking bait around the pinnacle. Chinook respond to trolling with flashers, cut-plug herring, trolling spoons, and hootchies, with mooching whole or cut-plug herring on banana weights and jigging metal or leadhead jigs as secondary approaches. Coho take trolled flashers with hoochies, spoons, and cut-plug herring, and can be worked with mooched herring or metal jigs when they hold near the structure.
