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
STRUCTURE
Beach

Owen Beach sits along the shoreline of Tacoma, Washington, within DFO subarea 11, a beach-access spot facing the waters of Puget Sound. The beach supports a strong salmon run, with Chum Salmon peaking from September through December, Pink Salmon holding through July to September, and Coho Salmon running from July into October. Trolling drives the effort here, with flashers, hoochies, trolling spoons, and cut-plug herring covering all three species as they move through the area. Anglers working from the water also mooch cut-plug and whole herring or jig metal and leadhead jigs when fish stack up closer to structure. The overlapping Pink and Coho windows in late summer make July through September the most productive stretch before the Chum push takes over in fall.
