Inshore migration timing

When the inshore species show up.

Month-by-month migration calendars for 16 inshore saltwater species across 25 coastal regions — from the Gulf of Maine to South Padre. Striped bass, redfish, cobia, tarpon, snook, and the bait schools they follow. Built for trip planning, not catch logs.

A note on migration timing

Migration timing varies year over year with water temperature and weather. These windows are regional norms — cross-reference with NOAA marine forecasts and a local source the week of your trip.

Northeast4 regions

Maine to New York — the cold-water end of the Atlantic migration, with short but intense seasons for striped bass, bluefish, and fluke.

Mid-Atlantic7 regions

New Jersey to North Carolina — the spawning estuaries (Delaware Bay, Chesapeake) and migration funnel points for striped bass, cobia, and fall drum runs.

South Atlantic5 regions

South Carolina to Southeast Florida — Lowcountry marsh, Indian River Lagoon flats, and the start of subtropical species like snook and tarpon.

Gulf Coast9 regions

Florida Panhandle to South Texas — the Gulf marsh and bay system, holding the highest density of redfish in North America and a year-round inshore fishery.
