Tap once and we rank the coastal fisheries in our location guide by how far they are from you — each with its species, launch towns and a live conditions page.
Tap Use my location on this page and your browser asks once; the results are ranked nearest first. No location? Pick a state below — each state page lists the same results without a prompt.
This page answers: what's fishable around me? It reads your position once, in your browser, and ranks the coastal fisheries in the Tides & Tails location guide by distance — each with the species that hold there by season, the towns and launch areas inside the zone, and a link to its live tide and conditions page.
Waters are ranked by straight-line distance from your position to the centre of each fishery in our catalog — the same 38 coastal zones the location guide covers, from the Texas border to Maryland plus California.
Distances are measured to the centre of each water as our catalog records it, not to a ramp or a pier. Live readings come from NOAA CO-OPS tide stations, the National Weather Service and Open-Meteo, fetched when you open the page — for recreation only, never for navigation.
Your position is read once, kept only in this page's memory to sort the results, and never stored or sent anywhere except the search request itself. See the privacy policy.
Agents and scripts can ask the same question directly: /feed/search.json with lat, lon and radius.
