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.

Sand
STRUCTURE
Flat
Inner Protected

Itsami Ledge is an inner-protected sand flat in Tacoma, Washington, sitting in DFO subarea 13 at depths of 15 to 40 feet. The flat holds Pacific Halibut through its March to August peak, with Lingcod running strong from March into June and both Chinook and Coho Salmon filling the summer and fall, Chinook peaking June to September and Coho July to October. Black Rockfish stay catchable across the full year, and Copper Rockfish, Pacific Cod, and Blue Rockfish round out the mix. Anglers work the sand with drift jigging for halibut, using leadhead jigs with plastic swimbaits, herring, or squid, while jigging metal or leadhead jigs takes lingcod and rockfish over the shallow bottom. Salmon come to trolling with cut-plug herring, flashers, spoons, and hoochies through the protected water, with mooching as a close alternative on the tide.
