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
30-150 ft
Mixed
STRUCTURE
Drop Off
Inner Protected

Days Island sits in the inner protected waters off Tacoma, Washington, within DFO subarea 13, where a mixed-bottom drop-off falls through depths of 30 to 150 feet. The structure holds a strong lingcod fishery from March through June and Pacific halibut from March into August, while black rockfish stay catchable across the full year. Salmon move through on a seasonal schedule, with Chinook peaking June through September and coho running July into October. Anglers work the drop-off with jigs and leadhead jigs with swimbaits for lingcod and rockfish, and drift jigging with herring or squid for halibut along the deeper edges. For salmon, trolling flashers, spoons, hoochies, and cut-plug herring covers the water columns as fish transit the protected shoreline.
