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
Inner Protected

Windy Point is an inner-protected drop-off in DFO subarea 13 off Olympia, Washington, where a mixed bottom falls away through depths of 260 to 660 feet. The structure holds Chinook Salmon through their June to September peak and Coho Salmon from July into October, alongside resident groundfish including Lingcod, Pacific Halibut, Pacific Cod, Sablefish, and Rougheye Rockfish. Trolling flashers, cut-plug herring, trolling spoons, and hootchies works the upper water column for Chinook, while mooching whole or cut-plug herring lets anglers cover the same fish more slowly along the edge. Coho respond to trolled flashers with hoochies, spoons, and cut-plug herring, with metal jigs offering a supporting option when fish stack near the drop. The sheltered setting keeps the water fishable when outer areas turn rough, and the steep contour concentrates bait and predators along its face.
