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.

STRUCTURE
Drop Off
Mid

Point Richmond is a mixed-bottom drop-off in DFO subarea 11 off Tacoma, Washington, where the seabed falls from roughly 260 to 660 feet along a mid-exposure edge. Chinook Salmon peak here from June through September and Coho Salmon from July through October, with both taken by trolling cut-plug herring, flashers, trolling spoons, and hoochies along the break. The deeper structure holds Pacific Halibut through their March-to-August window, worked with drift jigging using leadhead jigs and plastic swimbaits, herring, or squid over the bottom. Lingcod stack up on the drop-off from March into June and respond to metal jigs, leadhead jigs with swimbaits, and soft plastic swimbaits fished tight to the mixed structure. Black Rockfish hold along the same edge year-round and take metal jigs, leadhead jigs, and swimbaits.
