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
DEPTH
15-60 ft
Rock
STRUCTURE
Pinnacle
Mid

Orchard Rocks is a rocky pinnacle in Seattle's Marine Area 10, sitting at mid exposure with structure that rises through depths of 15 to 60 feet. The rock draws Pacific Halibut through their March-to-August peak and Lingcod that hold strongest in January and again from February into April, while Chinook Salmon move through from July to September and Coho from June to October. Black Rockfish stay active across most of the year, from January through November, holding tight to the pinnacle's broken rock. Anglers work the structure by jigging metal jigs and leadhead jigs with swimbaits for Lingcod, and drift jigging metal or leadhead jigs for halibut over the deeper edges. Salmon come to trolling with cut-plug herring, flashers, and trolling spoons through the passing runs above the rock.
