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.

145-249 ft
Rock
STRUCTURE
Pinnacle
Inner Protected

McCurdy Point Hump is a rock pinnacle rising from inner protected waters off Port Townsend, holding depths from 145 to 250 feet within DFO subarea 6. The structure draws Pacific Halibut, which peak from March through July, and Lingcod, which peak from March through May, alongside a resident mix of Darkblotched Rockfish, Pacific Ocean Perch, Silvergray Rockfish, and Sablefish. Chinook Salmon move through during their June to August peak. Anglers work the halibut with drift jigging using metal jigs, leadhead jigs with swimbaits, or herring, and target lingcod by jigging metal jigs and swimbaits over the rock. For Chinook, mooching cut-plug or whole herring near the pinnacle matches the summer window.
