Although this site provides many tide locations Top Fishing Secrets will not vouch for any addendums that the site makes: however, since the tide data collected by the site does get its information from the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration. Top Fishing Secrets endorses all NOAA publications with regard to tides, currents, and barometric pressure locations.

Interactive Tide Locations

Click the NOAA Logo for Interactive Tide Locations, Predictions, Currents, and Weather Stations in and around the United States, which also includes Great Lakes information. Marine and freshwater anglers can determine precise locations with provided Longitude and Latitude coordinates. Having this information is a great safety feature should something go wrong on the fishing trip whether by bank, shoreline, or boat.

If you can catch a trout (on the left) in the Salt then you can catch a monster salmon (on the right) too!

All inland migrating fish's arrivals can be timed with incoming tides. The trick to timing tides is that fishermen must abandon the idea of fishing banker's hours. Sometimes the best tides to fish are in the dead of night while others are during the heart of the day near noon. Whether you fish from a boat or along the shoreline figure out what tides to fish before leaving home to maximize the amount of time fishing versus time spent looking where and when to fish. A little research goes a long ways to getting more fish than all other anglers on the water.

Why Tides are Critical to Fishing

The movement of water have currents that move the entire bio mass, no matter what the form of life is so it becomes imperative to understand where the currents move species of fish. Unless the species of fish you're going after are actually "Cruisers" they will succumb to Gyres (Giant circular patterns of water movement) of oceans and seas. Knowing how these currents move fish allow anglers to head them off and get fish on. Commercial fishermen have been doing it for decades and now you can too.
