What others are saying about ReelCaster Pro
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.

Picnic Point is an inner-protected drop-off in DFO subarea 9 off Seattle, Washington, where a mixed bottom falls away through depths of 145 to 430 feet. The structure holds Chinook Salmon at their peak from July through September and Coho Salmon from June through October, with Pacific Halibut moving through from March into August. Anglers work the salmon by trolling cut-plug herring, whole herring, flashers with hoochies, and trolling spoons along the drop, and switch to mooching cut-plug herring when the fish sit deeper. Over the same edge, drift jigging with metal jigs or leadhead jigs with plastic reaches Halibut on the bottom, while Lingcod hold on the harder structure and take metal jigs, bucktail jigs, and swimbaits from January through spring. Black Rockfish stay catchable across most of the year on jigs and soft plastics fished tight to the slope.
