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

94-275 ft
Rock
STRUCTURE
Pinnacle
Outer Exposed

Admiralty Head Hump is a rock pinnacle in DFO subarea 9 off Port Townsend, Washington, rising through outer, exposed water where depths run from 95 to 275 feet. The structure holds Pacific Halibut through their March to July peak and Lingcod concentrated from March into May, with rockfish including Canary, Copper, Quillback, and copper species active over the rock into late summer. Halibut come to drift jigging with metal jigs, leadhead jigs with swimbaits, or herring, while bottom fishing with salmon bellies, octopus, or squid covers the deeper edges. Lingcod respond to jigging with metal jigs and swimbaits or to live bait such as greenling and herring worked close to the pinnacle. Chinook Salmon move through from June to August and Coho from June into September, taken by mooching cut-plug herring for Chinook and trolling flashers, hoochies, and spoons for Coho across the exposed rise.
