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
Mid

Kala Point sits along a rocky drop-off in DFO subarea 9 near Port Townsend, Washington, where the bottom falls from 260 to 660 feet in mid-exposure water. Chinook Salmon peak from June through August and Coho Salmon run June through September, both drawn to the structured edge; anglers work Chinook with cut-plug and whole herring on the mooching drift, while Coho respond to trolling flashers, hoochies, and trolling spoons. Lingcod hold on the rock through their March to May peak and take metal jigs, swimbaits, and leadhead jigs worked close to the bottom. Pacific Halibut move through from March into July, targeted by drift jigging with metal jigs, leadhead jigs with swimbaits, or herring across the deeper contours. Black Rockfish stack up over the same rocky structure from May through August, hitting jigs and swimbaits along the drop.
